FLSG - I couldn't find any story that said anything of the sort. I got the original recommendation and then Barr dunking on it with his memo, followed by the resignations. The only place I've "heard" otherwise is here. 

Just curious what sources people are using to make those claims.

“The Department was shocked to see the sentencing recommendation in the filing in the Stone case last night,” the official told Fox News. “The sentencing recommendation was not what had been briefed to the Department.”

And just to deter the "B-b-b-b-but FOX NEWZ" crowd:

"The department was shocked to see the sentencing recommendation,” the official, who requested anonymity to speak about the department's internal deliberations, said. “This was not what had been briefed to the department and the department thinks the recommendation was extreme, excessive and grossly disproportionate to Stone’s offenses and the department will clarify its position later today at the court.”
