Make that all four prosecutors on the case

The Justice Department took the extraordinary step Tuesday of scaling back its own sentencing recommendation for Roger Stone after President Trump slammed the proposed prison term as “very horrible and unfair," prompting all four prosecutors on the case to withdraw in apparent protest.

[...]

In light of the new recommendation, Jonathan Kravis, Aaron Zelinsky, Adam Jed and Michael Marando — veteran prosecutors who spearheaded the Stone prosecution — abruptly announced in court filings that they were withdrawing from the case entirely.

Zelinsky and Kravis noted in their filings that they were also resigning from the Justice Department “effective immediately.”

Trump denied speaking to Attorney General William Barr or other Justice Department officials before they overruled the Washington U.S. attorney’s office — though he claimed he could have.

“I have the absolute right to do it," the president told reporters at the White House. "I stay out of things to a degree that people wouldn’t believe, but I didn’t speak to them.”

Bruce Rogow, an attorney for Stone, said the Justice Department did not reach out to him or his client prior to the sentencing reduction. Stone is expected to be sentenced on Feb. 20.

He may have talked to them. He lies. But he wouldn't have had to. His tweets tell his sycophants and henchmen what to do.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) vowed to send the Justice Department inspector general a formal request for an investigation into the Stone overruling.

“The president seems to think the entire Justice Department is just his personal lawsuit to prosecute his enemies and help his friends,” Schumer said. “The Justice Department is being totally perverted to Donald Trump’s own personal desires and needs.”

Maybe he needs to be impeached again. And Barr, too.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
