BREAKING: US prosecutor on the Roger Stone case resigns from the case after Justice Dept. official says DOJ is planning to reduce Stone's recommended sentence; DOJ's move comes after President Trump called the recommendation a 'miscarriage of justice!'

After the reports of the imminent softer sentencing recommendation, lead prosecutor Aaron Zelinsky withdrew as a prosecutor in the case. A footnote in his court filing noted that"the undersigned attorney has resigned effective immediately."who was a part of former special counsel Robert Mueller's team investigating Russian election interference

Another one of the prosecutors, Jonathan Kravis, also resigned— both from the case and his job as an assistant U.S. attorney. Kravis on Tuesday filed a notice with the judge saying he"no longer represents the government in this matter."" "Roger Stone obstructed Congress's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, lied under oath, and tampered with a witness," prosecutors wrote in a 26-page memo."When his crimes were revealed by the indictment in this case, he displayed contempt for this court and the rule of law."

America...this is corruption, this is what the 'swamp' does. This is disgraceful. This is symbolic of what is wrong with America. Break the law, but you are a friend of the POTUS, you get less jail time. Tell the truth, you and your brother lose a job. notmyamerica

JUST IN: A 3rd prosecutor on the Roger Stone case, Adam Jed, files a notice of withdraw from the case.

There are no laws.

NBCPolitics These scum Russia hoax prosecutors only resigned because they knew they would fired by DOJ. Wrongfully set recommended sentencing way apart from any legal precedent. Simply Weismann’s thugs. Investigate the prosecutors Deep state scum

It’s bananas, B-A-N-A-RE-PUBLIC

How long do we put up with this crap.... A narcissists prayer: that didn't happen and if it did, it wasn't that bad and if it was, that's not a big deal and if it is, that's not my fault, and if it was, I didn't mean it and if I did, you deserved it.

Now 3

I have a BananaRepublic Luxe card so I fit right in.

Who replaces the one's who will not be compromised? The one's who will be.

Seriously the president is involved in the DOJ. Back off. This dude is a criminal.

We officially have a king in the USA.

Dictator Trump has his favourites ?

This is riot worthy

A Saturday night massacre on a Tuesday. Going to be long week.. RightMatters rightmatterstruthmatters

We’re in Banana republic territory now

Truth is coming out!

It came before Trumps Tweet you lie like normal!!

TrumpCorruption

The DOJ is rump’s enforcer. He will use it to tighten his grip on the government. A dangerous destructive demonic despot.

They could not stand compromising their oath of office like Barr and Trump. Disgrace.

NBCPolitics So... too much for the rule of law... got it!

Oh-My-God-OmniabsoluteGRAVITATIONAL-CONSTANT: Thus all Earthlings should stop complaining about someone getting a favored and just warrant being the person getting the favor. Favors are inevitable in the UNIVERSE. (smiles, styles & profiles).['as it ought to be' & 'tis well'].

Wtf is wrong with this if one has money and a friend of 45 you get away anything

Love the ones rejoicing all the millionaires and billionaires getting away with being the biggest crooks around. While they probably living paycheck to paycheck. Lmao!

Radical lib prosecutors jump ship when their plot at disproportionate justice is exposed.

Don’t forget to mention that the original recommendation was out of proportion with the “crime” of lying to under oath. After all, Hillary is still free!

I noticed NBC likes to twist words... Like how you call Stone Trump's Ally... In that same token then... Could we call Bill Cosby an NBC Ally? After all Cosby and NBC worked together and had extremely close relationship for many many years!

The DOJPH is Dead !!! realDonaldTrump RudyGiuliani TrumpCrimeSyndicate

Ya know... this Bill Barr protecting Trump shit is getting really old.

Let’s hope the judge has legal sense and calls this what it is. AshaRangappa_ sam_vinograd AmberD1116

How mobster President

Trump is rewarding Stone for his loyalty now.

Absolutely disgusting

So what! He’s going to get a pardon anyway.

Corruption

Oh my Lord. Can’t anyone on the trump side see where this is going?

Barr is a criminal!

William Barr, our Klaus Barbie.

Third world

tRumps gonna pardon all involved to end the facade

The fix is in. These guys are fleeing so as not to get caught up in an illegal action and then have their careers and lives destroyed by the despotic leader Trump.

BREAKING NEWS: Man says cnn news anchor Don Lemon sexually assaulted him.

The bots are out in full support for a guy convicted of 7 felonies...

It amazes me all the ppl who support Stone & Trump. After all the things he said or did against our military, Intel ppl, fed law enforcement, Republicans, lawyers, ppl of color, ppl still support him. The Republican Party is dead. It is a pure religious cult now w Trump as god

Impeachment round 2

We love in a banana republic, Trump’s America RogerStone

He has control over the Senate, the SCOTUS, the Justice Department, what's left?

He should get the same sentence as McCabe, Comey, and Brennan got for lying to Congress.

SenatorCollins your brow must be very furrowed with concern.

I wonder if Collins thinks Trump still learned his lesson

Banana republic, here we come!

maddow Stick = have faith in our Democracy Carrot = we can fix it Whip = BaghdadBillBarr

Liberals can't buy a break. I love it!

This man will drop!

This platform is becoming bad for our country

It is a miscarriage of justice. Anyone who says otherwise isn't interested in justice, only revenge.

Good bye deep state stooges.

And the dictatorship marchs on

Department of Obstruction

Thick as thieves.

This is bs

Such a intentionally misleading headline. NBC News...how do we trust you? Oh, wait. We don't
