Roger Stone trial witness defends prosecutors from Trump's 'vile smear job'
A key witness in Roger Stone's trial is defending the quartet of prosecutors who withdrew from the federal case against the controversial Republican operative, accusing President Donald Trump of targeting the attorneys with a "vile smear job."
"As the son of a man who spent 10 years in prison, I have consistantly [sic] opposed incarceration," Randy Credico, a longtime Stone associate and colorful New York radio host, tweeted on Wednesday.
"That being said, Trump's vile smear job on the 4 DC prosecutors were appalling and ominous," he added. "In my experience, I found them to be professional, moral, ethical and non partisan."
Credico's social media post came after the Justice Department on Tuesday backed off a prior sentencing proposal for Stone, a longtime informal political adviser to Trump. The president had been critical of prosecutors' initial recommendation, which called for Stone to serve a prison term of seven to nine years.
