My understanding of this case has been that the only thing Stone is really guilty of is - surprise - exaggerating his importance & alleged connections to Wikileaks - when he, in fact, had none. Rather he had this guy Credico tell him some 2nd/3rd hand things that really amounted to nothing. Credico takes the 5th and the DEMs allege that’s because of their ties to “Russia” - no ... he just didn’t want to get mucked up in the DEMs impeachment game. So the mule team alleged that he was being threatened and wanted to show Godfather movie clip to “prove” it ROFL. On the stand, however, Credico says that Stone was only one of MANY to advise him not to testify and said he valued his attorneys telling him not to testify more than Stone ... what about the “threat” to his dog? Even that was nothing in the mind of Credico, that Stone loves dogs & his dog in particular, it was just a bunch of stupid angry back and forth since Stone testified and Credico didn’t leading to the false charge being forwarded and tried. This has probably served a number of valuable purposes - the role of Berman being one (she stinks) as well as more mule team hijinx. And, most importantly, the predicate has been established - “lie” to Congress and face the music! So when the lame ambassador and Vindman deep state folks that think they run foreign policy and testify this week, and have already exposed themselves to perjury charges, and should really take the 5th themselves ... well ... this is going to be glorious!
Yes, but how will the jury vote? See #7.
“he only thing Stone is really guilty of is - surprise - exaggerating his importance & alleged connections to Wikileaks”
Correct. The worm is turning and it’s going to be a win for Stone and the Republic.
Doubt it. Dems don't get prosecuted for such things.
