FILE - In this Nov. 12, 2019, file photo Roger Stone leaves federal court in Washington. A federal prosecutor is prepared to tell Congress on Wednesday, June 24, 2020, that Stone, a close ally of President Donald Trump, was given special treatment ahead of his sentencing because of his relationship with the president.
Aaron Zelinsky, a career Justice Department prosecutor who worked on cases as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, including the case against Stone, will say that he was told in no uncertain terms that political considerations influenced the handling of the case, according to testimony released by the House Judiciary Committee.
According to his prepared testimony, Zelinsky will describe having learned from the media that the Justice Department planned to overrule the trial team’s sentencing recommendation, something he said he found unusual given the department’s conventional practice of not commenting on cases. Though the U.S. Attorney’s office initially said the reports were false, the team was later told that a new sentencing memorandum would be issued that would see a lighter punishment for Stone.
dunaisiaka If the Riddler gets away.....Batman is just gonna have to catch him all over again.
If “special treatment” means a swat team and a news crew; you can have that kind of “special treatment”.
A Democratic prosecutor who was let go is going to expose corruption? 😂
What a surprise
So the witness in this case says he was 'told' by some 'people' that this was happening. Unless you name specific names and give sources for your hearsay evidence, then this is all it is.
So a bunch of agents storming his home with CNN tipped off for the world to see is special treatment?
Pretty sure political considerations have always affected the handling of most high-profile cases.
He was just a coffee boy, let him be so he can go back to work at Starbucks.
American Psycho Stone belongs in a cage. Then bring him Epstein's rope as they're cut from the same cloth.
Were we even wondering if this was true?
Except they did not object to delaying reporting to prison to Sept 30.
Special treatment(:(: 5am treatment The same treatment that claper got when he lied to congress?
He was👹
You mean like the swat teams that raided his house armed to the teeth with CNN outside?

The Judge on the Roger Stone case should haul those prosecutors back in and question them .
Why would that surprise anybody that is reasonably aware and intelligent?
how is this a real person
No! Say it ain't so, AP! I thought this was all completely above board! What's next? Are you going to say Mike Flynn's getting special treatment?
and the Bidens didn't get 'special treatment'? Wake up.

When you work with someone with small hands you may get treated with kid gloves.
The only reason he was targeted was over 'political considerations'
fakenews
He makes my skin crawl.
was he given special treatment when they busted down his door with cameras at the ready
No one really expected that he’ll be treated as the „usual“ suspect
Bullshit
Everyone knew this to be true in both directions.
Of course it was all just a fraud, we already know this. CNN just magically was there at 3am when they raided his home, just a big scam.
We The People Of The United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings Of Liberty to ourself.
I hope his resume is up to date
Of course there was. That orange dingus spells bad news all the time.
No Duh. Maybe one of these days the Republican Party with grow a pair. Maybe.

And nothing will happen because nothing matters
