(CNN) Former special counsel Robert Mueller, in a very rare move, has written an op-ed for The Washington Post defending his office's prosecution of Roger Stone and saying he is still a convicted felon and "rightly so" in light of President Donald Trump's commutation of Stone.

"Congress also investigated and sought information from Stone. A jury later determined he lied repeatedly to members of Congress. He lied about the identity of his intermediary to WikiLeaks. He lied about the existence of written communications with his intermediary. He lied by denying he had communicated with the Trump campaign about the timing of WikiLeaks' releases. He in fact updated senior campaign officials repeatedly about WikiLeaks. And he tampered with a witness, imploring him to stonewall Congress," Mueller writes in the op-ed posted Saturday evening.

"The jury ultimately convicted Stone of obstruction of a congressional investigation, five counts of making false statements to Congress and tampering with a witness. Because his sentence has been commuted, he will not go to prison. But his conviction stands."

Trump on Friday commuted the prison sentence of his longtime friend, who was convicted of crimes that included lying to Congress in part, prosecutors said, to protect the President. The announcement came just days before Stone was set to report to a federal prison in Georgia.

Stone was convicted in November of seven charges -- including lying to Congress, witness tampering and obstructing a congressional committee proceeding -- as part of Mueller's Russia investigation. Among the things he misled Congress about were his communications with Trump campaign officials -- communications that prosecutors said Stone hid out of his desire to protect Trump.

It's about time! Mueller is one of the most honorable men to ever serve in government. He is truly a great American patriot.

Trump and/or Stone should be forced to "personally" repay all the taxpayer funds wasted on Stone's prosecution. Stone was convicted on all seven counts by a jury - and remains a convicted felon.

Mueller is more out of touch with reality than Biden.

If Republicans weren't part of the Deep State, Mueller would have already be serving 20 years at Leavenworth for prosecutorial misconduct
That's one of the stupider things you have ever posted. Not sure if it's on the top five or not, 'cause you've definitely posted some dumb shit, but I'm thinking top ten at least.

I guess he has to justify Weissman's bs somehow.
 
From the OP:

Trump's decision to commute the sentence of his friend and political adviser is the crescendo of a months-long effort to rewrite the history of the Mueller investigation. This has included selective declassification of intelligence materials, a ramped-up counter-investigation into the origins of the Russia probe and attempts to drop the case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn. The President has broad constitutional power to pardon or commute sentences. But Trump is unlike almost any other president in how he's used the power proactively to save political allies.

Mueller is a shit bag......as are all the democrat party members who are part of the coup against President Trump...

bill Clinton pardoned his own brother for felony distribution of cocaine. And a key witness in the Whitewater scandal for which he and Hillary Clinton were under investigation. And three others convicted in independent counsel Ken Starr’s probe. And Marc Rich, in what was a straight up political payoff. And his CIA director. And his HUD secretary. And eight people convicted in an investigation of his Agriculture Department.

No surprise there: The Clintons and their supporters then, like Trump and his supporters now, regarded the special-prosecutor probes into the administration as witch hunts.

Clinton also commuted the sentences of convicted terrorists, some of whom hadn’t even asked for clemency. Shameless as he was, though, even he couldn’t bring himself to pardon Oscar Lopez Rivera, the defiantly unrepentant FALN leader.

President Obama took care of that.

Obama also commuted the sentence of a U.S. soldier who passed top-secret information to WikiLeaks. He pardoned his former Joint Chiefs of Staff vice chairman, who’d been convicted of making false statements about a leak of classified information to the New York Times. And when he couldn’t get Congress to amend federal drug laws the way he wanted them amended, Obama used the pardon power to slash hundreds of sentences, under an executive initiative later sharply criticized by the Obama-appointed DOJ inspector general.

That doesn’t even account for the Obama administration’s penchant for making sure things never got to the pardon stage by distorting the law to give Hillary Clinton — the same Hillary Clinton who was nearly indicted in the aforementioned Clinton-era scheme — a pass, asserting executive privilege to obstruct the Fast and Furious investigation (for which Obama’s attorney general was held in contempt of Congress), ignoring his CIA director’s spying on the Senate Intelligence Committee, and turning a blind eye to the abuses of power and obstructions attendant to the scandal that engulfed his IRS.

So, as abuses of the pardon power go — and they do go — I can’t get too whipped up over President Trump’s commutation of Roger Stone’s 40-month sentence for non-violent criminal obstruction of a bogusly based and ridiculously over-prosecuted investigation.

If it's bad for Clinton why is it a reason for celebration for Trump? Face it, he really could murder someone and you would still love him.

Mueller had nothing to do with the Mueller No Collusion No Obstruction Report!

2 days into the investigation they KNEW Trump didn’t collude with Russia

He saved innocent men from the Torquemada witch hunt. I marvel at the way Dims continue to pretend that the "Russia! Russia! Russia!" hoax was some kind of legitimate investigation instead of part of a coup against a lawfully elected president.

Mueller is one of the few long term Republicans who is worthy of respect as a conscientious American, instead of a party tool.

You respect someone who openly admits they don't even know what the fuck is in their own fucking report that cost the country 35 million dollars and 2 years of investigations to create?

If there's a coup against Trump, it's the slowest and most incompetent coup I've seen in my lifetime. Most coups take place within a few days/hours and the person that the coup is directed against is out of power...or worse. You do love getting your panties in a bunch...and then pivoting to Obama. :)

BTW, do me a favor and drop the whole "I'm a patriot", "I believe in law and order" act.
If Roger Stone were you or I, we'd be going to jail...period.
But you excuse it because Trump..can do no wrong. It must be a conspiracy.

And look, Fast and Furious..again. You sir, are the master of deflection! :)

Exactly the opposite. The man on the left is the American equivalent of Leventi Beria. The man on the right corresponds to Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

Mueller is a criminal. He's a Stalinist piece of shit who doesn't give a damn about the Constitutional rights of American citizens.
