WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A federal judge has rejected a request by U.S. President Donald Trump ally Roger Stone for a new trial, according to a court filing released on Wednesday, a day after a Justice Department reversal over sentencing prompted prosecutors to resign from the case.

U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson, in a Feb. 5 order, said the Republican operative's lawyers had "not presented grounds for a new trial ... or any reason to believe there has been 'a serious miscarriage of justice.'"

Pardon Stone and all the victims of the Democrats war against Trump and his allies. Stone ,Flynn and others were all targeted for the malicious prosecution's they and their families were forced to endure.
Nonsense. They were never "targeted". They committed actual crimes for which they have been correctly charged and tried. Just because their crimes were discovered while investigating somebody else, doesn't mean they shouldn't be held accountable.
