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.
The witness says he did not feel threatened.
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
