Four prosecutors resign from DOJ over Stone sentencing interference

Romancing The Stone

roger stone didn't kill himself....

>>>>>Donald can do anything he wants

He hasn't been indicted. 

Four prospectors reneged over gem stone indifference.

Hold on now 

we should wait until we

hear from Susan Collins...

Entire Stone prosecution team (4 people) quit. William Barr is now taking over control of the Stone sentencing. Or lack there of. 
The DOJ is also getting involved in the Flynn sentencing. 

As per Donald; "This is a horrible and very unfair situation. The real crimes were on the other side, as nothing happens to them. Cannot allow this miscarriage of justice!"

Zoners for trump!!!

DEADHEADS FOR TRUMP!!!!

Puerile poll?

Trump unchained.  Buckle up kiddos.

Buckle up indeed. So much for doing whats right, or rule of law.

Vindman may be prosecuted by Army.

"Right, Thom?"

Everyone involved says that Trump had nothing to do with the decision, but of course that won't get in the way of you jumping to the conclusion that fits your prejudice.

Rapists spend an average of 4.5 years in prison, but for some reason you think that Roger Stone deserves more, despite the fact that we now know that Mueller's team (hello Aaron Zelinsky!) knew beforehand that there was no "Russian collusion" to be investigated.

And then there's this.....

Mueller Prosecutors May Have Lied To DOJ About Stone Prison Sentence Recommendation

“The sentencing recommendation was not what had been briefed to the Department.”

Sources told The Federalist that Timothy Shea, who was recently appointed to take over as the top federal prosecutor in D.C. earlier this month, was bullied into agreeing to the sentence recommendation by Adam Jed and Aaron Zelinsky, who were originally tapped by Mueller to investigate whether Donald Trump treasonously colluded with the Russian government to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton. A full investigative report released by Mueller last year revealed that the Mueller investigation found zero evidence for any of the claims of collusion between Trump and the Russians. According to a separate report on serial abuses committed by the Department of Justice (DOJ) during its investigation of Trump, the DOJ inspector general found that the government knew long before Mueller was even appointed that there was no evidence of any collusion.

Shea’s acquiescence to the demand by the disgruntled former Mueller operatives raised questions about whether Shea was operationally in control of the D.C. prosecutor’s office, or whether he had effectively outsourced major decisions in high-profile cases to Mueller’s former deputies.

You are assuming that these people resigned in protest.  This shows a lack of imagination on your part, which is not surprising.

Departed Stone prosecutors are tip of iceberg, we’re about to ‘unpeel the onion’ of Mueller team’s web of lies

Republican Devin Nunes warned that the layers of lies have unraveled in the putrid onion that was Robert Mueller’s investigation of the failed Russia-collusion hoax.

Congressman Nunes told Fox Business host Lou Dobbs that Americans will soon learn the disturbing depths of deceit and corruption perpetrated by the Mueller team to promote the Russia-collusion hoax.

“The lawyers that stepped aside today who made the seven-to-nine-year recommendation [against Roger Stone] — we believe that this is not going to be the only example,” Nunes said.

He continued: “There’s other examples of things they did during the Mueller investigation that the American people will be very interested to learn in the coming weeks, as we start to unpeel the onion of what the Mueller team was really doing.”

But hold fast to your delusions, they're about all you have left now.  Maybe they'll give you strength until 2024.

Sounds like Bryen. All hot air.

Lol quoting Nunez and Lou dobbs 

this fuckin’ guy

A Justice Department official said authorities decided to step in and seek a shorter sentence because they had been taken by surprise by the initial recommendation. The person, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said prosecutors had told the department to expect a recommendation for a shorter sentence.

In their revised sentencing memo, Justice Department officials argued the initial recommendation could be “considered excessive and unwarranted under the circumstances” but also said they would defer to the court.

Nothing but a planned set-up to make Barr look bad, part of the ongoing effort to discredit him in advance of the Durham report.  Submit over-the-top sentencing recommendations, wait for the pushback, have all four resign in "protest."

Yeah, nothing shady here at all.

I don't recall anyone here getting upset when Federal Prosecutors requested two years for James Wolfe and he ended up getting two months. 

But then that case didn't afford the opportunity to implicate The Bad Orange Man.

^ irrelevant.

Thom, do you think Stone should serve time for being convicted of 7 felonies including lying to Congress/federal investigators and obstruction? If so, what do you think is appropriate?

i think barr doesn't need any help looking bad...

Anyone who thinks this DOJ decision did not come from Trump's directive is delusional.
William Barr needs to go! His biases are obvious and he is trampling on traditional DOJ leadership.
I expect to see more DOJ attorneys resigning if Barr persists on his disruptive path.

Damn.

Daylight gone drank all thom's coffee 

the fuck is wrong with you man? For real?

>>>>arrogant know it all negro 

WTF?   I really hope that was a bad attempt at sarcasm.

hahaha those are all old roger stone tweets

If you think you're paying attention & yet didn't realize those were Stone's tweets, that have been broadcasted countless times,  then you really aren't paying attention.

Trump will take 2020.   There's absolutely no doubt in my mind.  

This is Completely Normal behavior,,,(Sarc)

^ I have similar thoughts now and again. Fucking democrats, all they have is the truth (and pipedreams of justice),  behind em. That don't stand a snowball's chance in hell against todays repubs.

Also confusion and disorganization, they got that goin on

Got me there Larry.  I was like what the fuck is that dude talking about?  Figures it was Roger fucking Stone.   Dude has gotten away with so much shit over the years and looks like he might get off easy on this one too.

That's the way it goes.  Trump demands loyalty.   If you are loyal and keep your mouth shut, you get pardons and shit.   Not loyal, you get fired and escorted out.

The judge can follow the original recommendation.

How did Hitler rise to power?

do you study history and see any parallels >>. ...... American Reichstag  

This might push your buttons sailor 

Andrea Mitchell: “I can tell you this … one Republican senator told me if it was a secret vote, 30 Republican senators would vote to impeach Trump”

Jeff Flake (R–AZ): “That’s not true. There would be at least 35”

In the end — just one of the fifty-three Republican members of the United States Senate voted against the acquittal of the most singularly guilty man in the history of American jurisprudence. A man so transparently, wholly and transcendently guilty, that it took nothing short of OJ and Jeffery Epstein’s legal team to slither onto the defense table and belch out two straight weeks of shotgun contrarianism and a Jackson Pollack fantail of bad faith circular arguments that even a first year jailhouse lawyer wouldn’t use with a straight face as a defense.

It was a task that every single reputable law firm on the eastern seaboard ran screaming from, and rightfully so; which left Trump’s own in-house dung beetles Pat Cipollone and Jay Sekulow with the unenviable task of exhuming the body of Alexander Hamilton and taking a giant, sewer clogging shit directly into the moldy remains of its powdered wig. History will show it was a task that they alone were up to.

It takes balls the size of a bean bag chair to lie right into the face of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and a room full of TV cameras every day, and yet Trump’s lawyers did it with such casual frequency and glib certainty you wouldn’t be blamed for thinking that you were trapped in some mirror universe in a fever dream brought on by the near fatal ingestion of spoiled blowfish. Never before has such shameless gaslighting, bullshit concern trolling and victim blaming been elevated to such a high stage. To say the House Managers, led by Adam Schiff pounded Cippolone like a tent stake every damn day would be a gross understatement, that is, of course, you are grading this as a normal exercise of American judicial practice under the standard rules of order. The Prosecution’s biggest singular mistake was in assuming that things like facts, evidentiary chains and well-articulated, clear and consistent arguments mattered here. In the end — it didn’t. What we just witnessed was the world’s first social media comment section flame war trial and Schiff committed the first cardinal sin of the internet — he fed the trolls.

Trump’s fate was never seriously in doubt. It’s practically impossible to get sixty-seven votes in the United States Senate to agree on what day of the week it is — but no one could have anticipated just how low they would sink in this process. While the final vote had the brutal, cold and unflinching certainty of watching a public execution — the nadir of the whole process fell on the Friday, January 31st, when the minority forced a vote on bringing in the documents and witnesses that would have least given these proceedings a candy shell veneer of actually being a legitimate exercise of normal jurisprudence. In particular, the testimony of one John Robert Bolton.

While many people will wear the dark brown stain of the shame of these proceedings for the rest of history, perhaps no one will be so grotesquely linked to them than John R. Bolton.

For those unfamiliar with Bolton’s resume, think somewhere in between General Aldo from the original Planet of the Apes movies and Thanos. Like so many other neoconservative assholes with a war boner, Bolton managed to duck going to Vietnam through a series of student deferments, and when his number finally got pulled, he joined the Maryland National Guard where he bravely fought the Viet Cong from the steaming jungles of Louisiana. From that moment on, there hasn’t been a single geopolitical conflict anywhere across the globe that Bolton wasn’t actively and passionately trying to send some poor kid from an underserved neighborhood to go die horribly in.
