Wrong again, numb nuts.** You wrote YESTERDAY that one of the

on the Stone Case had resigned from their job, three others just
resigned
from the case.* Wrong!* There were four prosecutors and all withdrew
from
the case, none of them resigned from their job.

I certainly don't want to get in the middle of anything, but multiple
news
outlets have been reporting since yesterday that one of the 4 prosecutors
resigned from his job.

quote from
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/02/12/prosecutors_quit_roger_stone_case_in_dispute_over_ sentence_142375.html:


Aaron Zelinsky, a Mueller team member, quit the case and his job in
Washington, with plans to return to his position as a federal
prosecutor in
Baltimore.

Another early Mueller team member, Adam Jed, also withdrew from the case.
His status at the Justice Department was unclear.

Another federal prosecutor in Washington, Michael Marando, withdrew from
the case, and a fourth trial team member, Jonathan Kravis, resigned his
position as an assistant U.S. attorney.

Similar story in the NY Times:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/11/us/politics/roger-stone-federal-prosecutors.html


quote:

Mr. Kravis, 42, said in a court filing on Tuesday afternoon that he had
resigned from his post at the Justice Department and therefore no longer
represents the government in this matter.

He worked in the U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of Columbia.
Also,
he had been a trial attorney in the public integrity section of the
Justice
Departments criminal division, according to his law school biography at
George Washington University, where he was listed as a professorial
lecturer.

That last guy, Jonathan Kravis, seems to be the one who quit his job
after
resigning from the case.

Then today we get word that Jesse Lui resigned, as you mentioned above.

It's **** show upon **** show in DC right now. The last 3 years were bad,
but it's a **** blizzard since the acquittal.


President Trump vowed to drain the Swamp...and he's doing exactly that.
MAGA Trump 2020

Yes, but it is sad that so many good people got sucked into the
whirlpool. Some honest people with ethics got flushed.


All honest people with ethics, from what I see. Those are the ones that
Trump dislikes. The kind of people he praises are guys like Manafort,
a $60 mil tax cheat and money launderer. He says he admires him, because
he refused to cooperate with the govt investigators. And Roger Stone,
a longtime dirty trickster, convicted of multiple counts of lying to
Congress and making threats to intimidate other witnesses. He even
disobeyed the gag order the judge put in place and posted an image of
the judge with cross hairs online. Those are examples of the kind of
people Trump stands up for.


Trump seems to have an element of mob mentality, where loyalty to him is
Job 1. People who don't show the right amount of loyalty are bullied and
tossed under the bus. How does this guy have nearly 40% approval? Who are
those people?

Rhetorical questions, of course.


I think a large part of it is many of those people listen exclusively
to the sources like Fox News and right wing radio talk shows. They
refuse to use mainstream sources and won't look at the best evidence,
which is what Trump actually said and did. And Fox and the right wing
bunch have gotten to the point where they explain away, spin, excuse
just about every damn thing Trump does. If a Democrat had gone to
NK, came back and said that they trust KJU, that they are sure he's
denuclearizing, that the threat from their nukes is over, you and I
know exactly what Fox, Hannity, Rush, etc would all be saying. They
would be calling it stupid, treasonous. Trump does it and they say
it's a great thing. Plenty more examples like that. I hear that and
I say, OMG, what a sad sack of BS. The trumpets apparently believe it.




He frequently refers to 'dirty copy, liars, leakers, and flippers', all the
things he dislikes the most. He's referring, of course, to the honest
people who stand up for the rule of law. We've had bad Presidents before,
but not like this.

I knew if he was elected that he would do damage to the office. Trump
has no respect for the office, none at all. The damage now is extensive.
The remaining question is whether it can be undone and how long it
will take.
