BREAKING: Roger Stone prosecutor dramatically QUITS after DOJ announcement
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by CNBC:
A federal prosecutor who played a key role in the case against President Donald Trump’s ally Roger Stone dramatically resigned Tuesday shortly after the Department of Justice said it will force prosecutors to cut their recommended prison sentence for Republican political operative Stone.
Aaron Zelinsky’s resignation as a special assistant U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C. , was announced in a footnote of a legal filing notifying the judge in Stone’s criminal case that Zelinsky was withdrawing from that case.
The article goes on to state the following:
“This Court is advised that the undersigned attorney has resigned effective immediately after this filing as a Special Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia,” the filing said.
Fox News producer Jake Gibson tweeted, “In the wake of the news that the DOJ will revise the Roger Stone sentencing recommendation, US prosecutor Aaron Zelinsky has informed Federal Judge Amy Jackson of his intention to withdraw from the case, AND to resign from the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.”

Heath added, “The notice doesn’t give a reason – it cites to a local court rule that requires the U.S. government to designate a DOJ attorney who will appear on behalf of the government. Zelinsky signed the withdraw notice.”
He continued, “Gotta read the footnotes. Zelinsky, the former Mueller prosecutor still helping with the Stone case, resigned from DOJ “effective immediately.””
