Mueller breaks his silence on Roger Stone

[two_iron]

(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.

It's not really fun unless it makes you weak mother fuckers cry and drink bleach.

Thanks for letting us know that Trump pushes your buttons and dominates your every thought.

Nobody tried to overthrow anybody, period. There was not coup, period. you are just into melodrama.

If you ask me, trying to say Trump was a Russian asset, spending millions on a 3 year witch hunt THEN impeaching him with no evidence and by ONE PARTY is an attempted coup. The only melodrama was the crap they obviously tried to convince US to swallow about Trump.

Um, no evidence ... oh yeah, the prosecution was not allowed to show evidence, remember Moscow Mitch did not allow witnesses or documents to be presented to the Senators to protect them; the proceeding was televised live and the American People would have been enlighened as to all of the allegations in the Articles of Impeachment.

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.

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

You forgot "senile" in your description. He did not know what was in his won report!

Bullshit! Why did you lie? The witnesses had already testified in the House. The documents were available, but they proved nothing. Trump was guilty of nothing, and that was the result.

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?

I read the report and have a marked up highlighted copy on this computer. I understood it better the Attorney General. Yes I respect Robert Mueller. You don't have to. I doubt it will interfere with his retirement or mine.

Where did you get your law degree?

Keep looking, because it is NOT going to happen. Joe will not make it to January 20th, 2021. He will die or be replaced because he is mentally incopetent.

Anyone see the similarities between Mueller and Biden?

Who gives a fig what Mueller thinks.....he is just another swamp creature.

Another swamp imbecile.

*Stone, in fact, said the corrupt part out loud, in a conversation with NBC’s Howard Fineman shortly before Trump’s announcement. “He knows I was under enormous pressure to turn on him,” Stone told Fineman. “It would have eased my situation considerably. But I didn’t.”*

Imagine a more corrupt use of the clemency power than Trump’s Roger Stone commutation

Stone obviously scared the bejesus out of Trump. Sounds like Stone was getting ready to spill some beans if Trump didn't soon act to keep him out of prison.

 

[bottlecap]

Mueller is as senile as Biden. He investigated the Russian Collusion story and NEVER heard of GPS Fusion.
This would be equivalent of doing a report on the 1927 NY Yankees and not knowing who Babe Ruth was.

GPS Fusion paid for the Steele Dossier

The Russians who attended the TRUMP tower meeting were connected to GPS Fusion.

GPS Fusion was paid by the DNC and Hillary Clinton

GPS Fusion gave fake information to employee Nelly Orr who sent it to her husband, Bruce Orr, a DOJ employee. He passed it along to the FBI.

It was GPS Fusion fake info that led to the FISA Warrants.

Yes, GPS was at the center of the Russian meddling spiderweb and despite spending MILLIONS of taxpayer dollars and countless hours on the investigation, Mueller during Congressional testimony stated, he NEVER heard of GPS Fusion.

This is what happened when Trump and Moscow Mitch packed the federal judiciary with partisan hacks.

 

[DGS49]

OK let's break this down:

He lied about the identity of his intermediary to WikiLeaks. (He had no intermediary; it was all made up)

He lied about the existence of written communications with his intermediary. (Same thing).

He lied by denying he had communicated with the Trump campaign about the timing of WikiLeaks' releases. (His communications with the Trump campaign were all bogus. He was talking out of his ass)

He in fact updated senior campaign officials repeatedly about WikiLeaks. (This is bullshit. Stone had no communication with WikiLeaks, direct or indirect. He had no information with which to update anybody. He was speculating, just like everybody else. Anything he told "senior campaign officials" was made up nonsense).

And he tampered with a witness, imploring him to stonewall Congress. (He just wanted to avoid the embarrassment of being shown to be a faker).

This is all the equivalent of arguing about the existence of magic beans. WGAF?
