UPDATE: 4 Roger Stone prosecutors quit case after DOJ says it will cut Trump ally’s recommended prison sentence.
Four federal prosecutors in the criminal case against Republican operative Roger Stone dramatically quit the case Tuesday.
Jonathan Kravis, who delivered the closing argument at Stone's trial last fall, resigned as an assistant U.S. Attorney, according to a court filing in Washington federal court. Prosecutors said their proposed sentence mirrors the sentence suggested federal sentencing guidelines, which are calculated according to a formula that takes into account the severity of the crime, the type of conduct involved, and a defendant's prior criminal history.
"Rule of law in this grand, grand tradition, in this wonderful Justice Department. is just being totally perverted to Donald Trump's own personal desires and needs and it's a disgrace," Schumer said. "Roger Stone should get the full amount of time the prosecutors recommended and we're going to do some oversight of that."
