Mueller Investigation pt4

[Skeptic Ginger]

...
My personal view is that Stone is one of the real top villains of the last few decades of American politics and he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Do you think Mueller is holding some Stone charges involving Guccifer and Wikileaks back?

As for an unreliable witness, sure, but if an unreliable witness knows where the bodies are buried that's different.


As for Giuliani: Occam's Razor: He's a news distraction, and that's what Trump wants. He certainly can't be giving legal advice.

Nunes on Fox on Stone arrest: I think the Mueller investigation is really at the bottom of the barrel when they're looking at people like this, because you know we already found in our report that Roger Stone wasn't colluding with the Russians​

...

Boy this thread is just full of laughs.

 

[Dr. Keith]

Have they indicted the FBI agent who leaked to CNN? Or was it someone on Mueller's team?

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

For the Roger Stone fans in the thread, I hope you've had a chance to absorb Jeffrey Toobin's 2008 experience with the man. Dude's a perv. (Toobin might be too, but Stone totally is, and an unapologet ic one at that.)

....

Which reinforces the Wonkette and SNL claims.

?? Why would they?

Almost certainly. We're only seeing the charges he's "done" with. Everything that involves bigger fish waits until he leans on Stone for everything he can get before moving on.

My favorite line from the 2008 Toobin article:

“Roger is a stone-cold loser,” Trump told me. “He always tries taking credit for things he never did.”

Projecting much there, Donnie?

 

[CapelDodger]

I think he said it was the best book ever written after The Art of the Deal.

By the end of the interview he'd claimed to have written them both.

Karl Rove is certainly a villain of the story, but I doubt there's anything illegal that could be pinned on him. Rove and Stone are from the same ratshagging stable, but horses of very different calibres.

The former chairman of the congressional committee Stone allegedly lied to criticizes federal prosecutors for seeking to uphold the integrity of his investigation.

From a better man than Nunes I'd call that chutzpah, but in Nunes's case it's just idiocy.

Not if you've already retrieved the bodies.

He was publicising the leaks, and it was the publicity they had which caused Horowitz to decide that they needed to make a public announcement about the investigation. There are also indications he was the driving force behind the leaks

Mmm. Giuliani changed his story, by the way.

...The House investigation led by Nunes that pointedly refused to actually investigate potential collusion, anyways?

Something wrong with this list.

At least Gowdy, Rooney, and Ros-Lehtinen are no longer in the House.

ETA: neither are LoBiondo, and Westmoreland.

That... would remove 5, then. More utter incompetence on the Republican side?

Which makes me wonder -- does attorney/client privilege still hold if the attorney volunteers all that information?

I mean, if Nunes thought he was doing a good job, Mueller's embarrassed him by highlighting his spectacular failure. That's the most charitable explanation you can give the hack at this point and it doesn't really carry water given his previous actions.

 

[The Big Dog]

1. I'm talking about the character of Roger Stone. Just indicted by Mueller. Hardly a diversion. Just more information.

2. I never said I wish that Stone got raped in prison. Only that he gets an ugly cell mate named Bubba who would make him his bitch. Given Stone's freaky history, I'm sure any activity between them would be consensual. Stone certainly has the appearance of a sub. And after all, it would hardly be different than his relationship with Donnie.

Wow

President Donald Trump’s administration on Sunday lifted sanctions on aluminum giant Rusal (0486.HK) and other Russian firms linked to oligarch Oleg Deripaska, despite a Democratic-led push in the U.S. Congress to maintain the restrictions.

Not under oath, changes his story constantly: I think that negates any value.

And you could probably find Trump Tweets admitting to all the same things about the Tower meeting and the Cohen payouts anyway.

 

[Venom]

Gotta tell you, very extensive prison rape fantasies being presented here.

and "Bubba" being portrayed as just indiscriminately predatory and horny.

I think there's a lack of appreciation of how boring federal prison must be.
