I guess the Trump Admin isn’t taking any days off in their quest to turn us into just another hole country.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.
The department’s decision to overrule frontline prosecutors and the prosecutors’ subsequent moves laid bare the tension that has roiled the Stone case in recent days — between career prosecutors and department leadership — and raises fresh concerns about the politicization of Trump’s Justice Department.
The Justice Department’s statement came hours after Trump tweeted about the sentence prosecutors recommended, saying: “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!”
Kerri Kupec, a Justice Department spokeswoman, said the White House did not communicate with the agency on Monday or Tuesday, and that the decision to reverse course was made before Trump’s tweet.
