Jonathan Kravis, has filed a notice withdrawing from the Roger Stone case. He has resigned his position as assistant U.S. attorney in D.C.

"Stone’s case, though, represents an unambiguous instance of political interference in the Justice Department’s handling of a specific case"
Memories are short when there is as much chaos as there is in this administration. DOJ did something very similar with Flynn.
