Fourth Stone prosecutor withdraws.

This is truly historic. I honestly could not care less who wins New Hampshire tonight.

3. Wow! All fucking four!!

[dewsgirl]

9. Buncha shit is what this is..😠

[CaptYossarian]

31. Does Trump have pictures of all these people romancing livestock?

This assclown must have inspired Stephen King's It. Everyone seems scared of him.

[Karadeniz]

4. This needs to be shouted from the rooftops..another good add material for anti Trump ad.

[CurtEastPoint]

5. Please tell me what this indicates ... big picture.

[PJMcK]

12. DOJ is acting on Trump's behalf

Trump is probably going to issue pardons for Manafort, Stone, Flynn and any other of his crony henchmen.

I wonder if the judge can do anything to block Trump's actions. I doubt it.

[CurtEastPoint]

13. But the attys recusing themselves (or judges, whoever)... why?

[PJMcK]

16. The prosecutors are resigning, not recusing

This implies that they are opposed to the orders they are getting from Barr's office. Remember that US Attorneys work for the DOJ.

The judge has not recused herself, either.

These attorneys are resigning in protest because they see that Trump and Barr are seriously interfering with justice.

Respectfully, it's pretty obvious how Trump is playing this.

[CurtEastPoint]

18. Thank you for explaining. This means they have some ethics!

[PJMcK]

26. Right you are!

Have a heart!

34. That's the way Hitler did it until he had his death courts to carry out his prosecutions. nt

[PNW-Dem]

23. The judge is a she, not he

Judge Amy Berman Jackson. Not that it makes it any more depressing.

[PJMcK]

25. Yep, I knew that and it was my mistake

Thanks for the correction, PNW-Dem.

Have a heart!

[Hotler]

32. Fascism... nt

[Skittles]

37. DOJ is working for Trump, not America

it is DISGRACEFUL

[dewsgirl]

6. This is some bullshit!😠

[backtoblue]

7. Wow

[spanone]

8. HOLY SHIT!!!!

[yellowcanine]

10. Was this voluntary or were these guys pushed out? Tuesday afternoon massacre?

That judge should demand that Barr appear before him and explain himself.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

15. I think they made the decision on their own.

They knew they could not go back before the judge and claim that their official recommendation was not their position.

The supplemental recommendation--like everything else that surrounds Trump: his election, his acquittal, everything--is illegitimate.

[localroger]

17. I would guess they resigned so as not to be involved with the whitewash

Probably "voluntary" as in being ordered to recommend the reduced sentencing, and resigning instead of complying. I am guessing the one(s) who completely resigned might be talking to reporters soon.

[Zolorp]

11. We had a Friday Night Massacre and now a Tuesday Night Massacre

And Republican Senators simply yawn.

Except for Susan Collins and Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney is now terrified. Meanwhile Susan Collins has furrowed her brow while being concerned and disappointed.

[dchill]

29. She's probably downright "disturbed" by now.

[rurallib]

14. This on the heels of what happened Friday and the Vonovitch(?) resignation

There is some bad house cleaning going on.

[58Sunliner]

19. This is scary shit. No way they just resigned.

[world wide wally]

20. We know that Trump doesn't care at all, or maybe he is even happy.

The only question is whether Barr cares because this is a reflection on him personally.

[pbmus]

30. Barr only cares about coverup, he is an artist at covering shit up...

William Barr’s been accused of a presidential cover-up before

[world wide wally]

33. Yeah, but he won't be able to cover up this one

[Mike Niendorff]

22. K&R.

24. Here's a good question I saw in another link...

"The question is why haven't more principled staff from DoD, State, and other agencies also resigned in protest too?"

As I have become more cynical as this year progresses, my first thought as an answer was "Because between those all persons that Trump/Barr have fired or resigned from DOD, DOJ, and all the other alphabet soup fed agencies ARE the only principled staff that exist."

27. The rule of law was killed by the GOP

[kacekwl]

28. That's what patriots do.

Take notice GOP Senate.

[smirkymonkey]

35. WTF is going on here?
