The lead prosecutor in Roger Stone's criminal case abruptly resigned from the case on Tuesday after the Justice Department said it planned to reduce the recommended sentence for the longtime Trump associate.
The Justice Department was pulling back on its request to sentence Stone to seven to nine years in prison after President Donald Trump blasted the sentencing proposal as "a miscarriage of justice."
The department finds the recommendation extreme and excessive and will clarify its position later today," a senior department official confirmed to NBC News.
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."
Zelinsky, who was a part of former special counsel Robert Mueller's team investigating Russian election interference, is not resigning from the Justice Department but is leaving the Washington, D.C. U.S. Attorneys Office and returning to his old job with the U.S. Attorney in Maryland.

Wow, ‘resigned’ (w/ all the taxpayer perks).
Wake me when Justice returns & these Deep State\coup member railroading criminals are arrested\indicted\prosecuted.
‘Til then it’s govt SOP.
If so, Stone should just go away. He had awful judgement and is a liability to re-election if he loiters. President Trump can do much, much better than him.
Day jest got dere weetle feelin’s hurt. Waaaa...waaaa (sniff, sniff)
The only effective defense is a good offense.
You must indict and jail your opponents
Trump has utterly failed at this, and a result the Deep State continues to dominate him, again and again.
Where the f*ck is John Durham?
The prosecutors lied to the DoJ and got caught. They told the DoJ they were submitting certain recommendations, and then deceitfully submitted different ones. The new guy failed to oversee them and let them do it, so he goes too.
“Never heard of prosecutors resigning.”
“Resign” is what the lying liberal media is calling it.
“Fired” or “reassigned’ might be the more common terms”

That's what I think and I posted just that on another thread in the last week. Two of the FISA warrants have already been determined to be fraudulently obtained, two more to go.
At that point, every single conviction Mueller obtained is going to get over-turned for the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine.
It's just a matter of time now.
I think the rats are starting to fall from that tree now.
Resigned. Lying to the DOJ is a felony and carries sentence of 7-9 years as recommended by the perps themselves, DOJ’s top prosecutors, and Mueller’s very own lying dog-faced pony soldiers.
Schittforbrains is already scheming in his basement like an obsessed paranoid schizophrenic: windows blacked out, walls papered with hundreds of newspaper clippings, very complicated/weird diagrams, strings criss-crossing the diagrams, photos, and news clippings papered all over the walls.
Schitt is in heaven again!!! His auditory delusions are off the charts, the voices are screaming IMPEACH IMPEACH! IMPEACH!!!
Barr goes, too? Ridiculous.
So more Deep State house-cleaning.
Well, it will be spring in a few months...
This will lead to another impeachment article, this time for “obstruction of justice”.
It’s damn shame they’re not hanging from said tree!
Maybe malicious prosecution or something like that. I hold the law in contempt, so I don't really care to look up more.
I read that these guys maybe lied to the justice department about the sentence that they were going to request. If that is the case then the DOJ did not back pedal on anything.
His wife is deaf
The swat team had her outside in her nightie
Fiends
A big no-no to them.
I hope these prosecutors realize that if we have CW2, and a period of anarchy, they and their families had better be prepared to be hunted down just like the Jews hunted down Nazis after WW2.
