Downgrade recommendation by the department of justice prosecutors and as you pointed out that downgrading of the recommendation came after the u. S. President weighed in on twitter calling the recommendations a miscarriage of justice in the end the judge said that she took a look at both recommendations and felt that this should be proportional but at the same time noted that there were very few precedents for such a case involving the very close ally of the u.
