FLASHBACK: Alan Dershowitz: Stone indictment follows concerning Mueller pattern
The Hill ^ | 01/25/19 04:00 PM EST | Alan Dershowitz

The indictment of former Donald Trump associate Roger Stone follows a long pattern that should raise serious concerns about the special counsel. Like virtually all of these indictments, this one does not charge any major crimes relating to Russia that were committed before the special counsel was appointed. It charges crimes that grew out of the investigation and were allegedly committed after Robert Mueller was appointed in 2017.

Recall that the primary job of the special counsel was to uncover crimes that had already occurred relating to Russian involvement in the 2016 election. Mueller also was authorized to investigate and prosecute crimes growing out of the investigation, such as perjury and obstruction of justice, but this role was secondary to the primary one. It turns out that the secondary role has produced many more indictments of Americans than the primary one. A review of all the indictments and guilty pleas secured by Mueller shows nearly all of them fall into three categories.

First are process crimes such as perjury, obstruction, false statements, and witness tampering that have resulted from the investigation itself. That does not make them any less serious, but it is relevant to evaluating the overall success or failure of the primary mission. Second are crimes that occurred before Mueller was appointed but that cover unrelated business activities by Trump associates. The object of these indictments is to pressure the defendants to provide evidence against Trump. Third is one indictment against Russian individuals who will never be brought to justice in the United States. This indictment by was largely for show.

Which is why PDJT should pardon all of those convicted in this witch hunt.

Otherwise known, simply, as how to FRAME POTUS.

The Tool of Choice was a completely weaponized DC Beltway,... full of a seditonist CIA, FBI, Obama White House, FISA, Plants and Spies in the Trump Campaign, in the Trump White House, among the Trump National Security Counsel to the President, in Foreign Service Operatives (Diplomats, Embassy Aides) MEDIA COMPLEX, Five Eyes Intelligence & Soros organizations and Anti-American connections.

Stone got railroaded and he is a political prisoner. Something we should not have in the USA.

But he’s not a decent person.

Now that Jeffrey Epstein has been Arkancided, Dershowitz has nothing to fear and will revert to his Soros incarnation.
