can’t really argue with this. The guy actually documented his actions. He definitely lied to congress under oath, he definitely lied to the prosecutors, and he definitely threatened a witness.

He had every right to refuse to testify, and thumb his nose. It made no sense for him to go to congress and lie about something that wasn’t even a crime. It just made things look worse.

Here is the witness, a talk show host who has known Stone since 2002. Obviously if he doesn’t take Stone’s threat to take the dog seriously [he described it as hyperbole] then he was never in fear of his life, either:

“I don’t think he was going to steal my dog. I think he was pretty riled up at that time,” Credico acknowledged during cross-examination from Bushchel, the Stone lawyer.
“I know he wouldn’t have ever touched that dog. It was hyperbole by him.”
“Does he love my dog? I think he loves all dogs. I don’t think he would steal a dog, no,” Credico added. —— The Prosecution’s ‘Star Witness’ in Roger Stone’s Trial Proved ‘Difficult’ … for Prosecutors, Minnesota Sun ^ | 11/11/19 | Chuck Ross, Daily Caller / Minnesota Sun Staff

I don’t know how a dog gets designated as a Russian collusion entity.

Nov 07, 2007 · “He mentioned my cat by name and [said], ‘Yeah, that Bullseye was a really nice cat.’” Was? Hmm. Ms. Willey said the guy was so creepy that she came to the conclusion he’d been hired to intimidate her, and he’d started by killing her cat. Some time later she had another cat, a particularly fluffy 1-year-old, that turned up dead on her deck ...
