Mueller writes op-ed to defend his investigation of Roger Stone: ‘He remains a convicted felon’
2020-07-14
[BIZPACREVIEW] Former special counsel Robert Mueller defended his investigation of Roger Stone on Saturday after President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
commuted the prison sentence for his longtime friend."We made every decision in Stone’s case, as in all our cases, based solely on the facts and the law and in accordance with the rule of law," Mueller wrote in an op-ed at The Washington Post.
Consensus is that someone put his name as "author", but it was Weissman and one or more of his Lawfare assholes that did the work, just as he couldn't even speak cogently about the "Mueller Report"
"The women and men who conducted these investigations and prosecutions acted with the highest integrity," he continued. "Claims to the contrary are false."

"The Russia investigation was of paramount importance. Stone was prosecuted and convicted because he committed federal crimes. He remains a convicted felon, and rightly so," Mueller added.

Trump commuted Stone’s prison sentence on Friday, days before he was set to begin a 40-month stint at a federal prison in Georgia.

Stone, 67, was convicted on Nov. 15 on charges that he made false statements to Congress about his discussions related to WikiLeaks, the group that released emails hacked from Democrats during the 2016 campaign. Stone was also convicted on a charge of obstructing a congressional investigation and witness tampering.

#6  Should have Biden read a couple of paragraphs from Winnie the Pooh, but focus on his ASL interpreter again, not Biden. Comedy gold for the ages.

#4  He does. That's why Lindsay Graham wants him to testify again, to expose his senility

#1  Yep, a convicted felon. Just like Trump was impeached. But the Donald is still Prez and Stone is a free man. And Mueller can go suck an egg.
