Prosecutors quit amid escalating Justice Dept. fight over Roger Stone’s prison term

Two career prosecutors who handled the case against Roger Stone, a confidant of President Trump, resigned their posts Tuesday after the Justice Department signaled it planned to reduce their sentencing recommendation for the commander-in-chief’s friend.

Jonathan Kravis, one of the prosecutors, wrote in a court filing he had resigned as an assistant U.S. attorney, leaving government entirely. Aaron S.J. Zelinsky, a former member of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s team, said he was formally quitting his special assignment to the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office to prosecute Stone, though a spokeswoman said he will remain an assistant U.S. attorney in Baltimore. Neither provided a reason for their decisions.

The resignations come just hours after a senior Justice Department official told reporters that the agency’s leadership had been “shocked” by the seven-to-nine-year penalty prosecutors, including Zelinsky, asked a judge to impose on Stone and intended to ask for a lesser penalty.

Fuck that and fuck him. We've beat back worse peckerwoods than 'Deadbeat' Donnie and his merry band of grifters and lowdown cutpurses. This November may be the last chance we have to do something about it. I intend to vote. I don't care whether it's St. Birdie of the Sparrows or Mike Bloomberg.

Vote Blue, no matter who.

The corruption gets more blatant every day. Because he gets away with it

A lot of posturing.

I believe the system gives the president the power of granting pardons.

But not to abuse them for politically personal reasons. This is reverse vengeance, a reward for personal loyalty, rather than the rule of law as in a Republic.

There is the rub. The entire frame of DOJ is immersed in politics.
