“I am not approving of you withdrawing from this case right now,” a supervisor in the US attorney’s office in DC told prosecutor Aaron Zelinsky.
Shea had been in charge of the DC office for a week when the sentencing memo was filed — he’d been appointed by Barr to temporarily take over as interim US attorney effective Feb. 3; Shea’s previous job had been as a counselor to Barr. Shea is currently serving as acting administrator for the Drug Enforcement Administration.
While that exchange was taking place, Zelinsky was also trading emails with Jonathan Lenzner, an official in the US attorney’s office in Maryland. The contents of those emails are fully redacted, but the subject line reads, “Re: Looks like they are blinking.” Zelinsky is an assistant US attorney in Maryland; he had been part of Mueller’s team, and then was specially detailed to the DC office to continue working on the Stone case.
At 1:48 a.m. on Feb. 11, Trump published his tweet calling the recommendation a “miscarriage of justice.” Later in the morning, Zelinsky testified that the prosecutors learned about media reports that DOJ planned to file a new sentencing recommendation. Five minutes later, Zelinsky replied to Marando and another lead Stone prosecutor, Jonathan Kravis, with afrom a CNN reporter that mirrored the Fox News tweet, quoting an unnamed Justice Department official criticizing their sentencing recommendation as “extreme and excessive” and “grossly disproportionate to Stone’s offenses.”
