Yeah, this pretty much says it all. And naturally there were no complaints from the left about abuse of power before Trump.
The only thing it puts in perspective is that he’s a criminal who rewarded a fellow criminal foe not telling the truth.
nutcase
He lied due to the fact he was shielding Tramp.
Lying about Benghazi where people died wasn't a crime? The attacks were because of a video? Uh-huh.
But lying about a wikileaks release of Hillary emails was a crime? Stone tried to contact wikileaks, but said he didn't...and that's a prison sentence and an early morning FBI raid on his home. Trump was elected in 2017, so there was no danger to Trump saying he wanted to contact wikileaks. He wasn't trying to contact the GRU or Putin, so WTF?
Longtime Trump political adviser Roger Stone was found guilty on Friday of lying to and obstructing Congress in a case that has shed new light on President Donald Trump's anticipation of the release of stolen Democratic emails in 2016 by WikiLeaks.

....Stone's defense team countered that Stone didn't have a motive to protect Trump when he testified to the House in 2017, because Trump already had won the election and become President.
Witnesses in the trial included a cast of Trump-world characters like former White House strategist Steve Bannon and former Trump campaign deputy chairman Rick Gates, a key cooperator in Mueller's investigation. Both emphasized the campaign's interest in hacks and leaks dating back to April 2016.
During the trial, prosecutors revealed
several phone calls between Trump and Stone, including a July 2016 conversation in which, Gates testified, Trump and Stone spoke about the planned release of hacked Democratic emails.
In his written answers to Mueller, Trump said he didn't recall his conversations with Stone, nor discussions about WikiLeaks and the Democratic hack.
Prosecutors argued that Stone's alleged failure to tell Congress about the attempts to reach WikiLeaks left the House Intelligence Committee with a blind spot in its investigation -- causing the committee's final report on Russian interference in the election to be inaccurate.
