Mueller defends Stone prosecution and says 'his conviction stands' in Washington Post op-ed
CNN, via MSN ^ | July 11, 2020 | Kevin Bohn

Former special counsel Robert Mueller, in a very rare move, has written an op-ed for The Washington Post defending his office's prosecution of Roger Stone and saying he is still a convicted felon and "rightly so" in light of President Donald Trump's commutation of Stone.

Who cares what this douche bag has to say..the entire “investigation” was a fraud from day 1 only to destroy Trump’s presidency because the commie left never got over the fact that they LOST the election

"Mueller signed this monstrosity, but he's incompetent to write it."

Doddering old fart mueller, being even more demented and senile than babbling joe, no doubt had his enablers write the opinion piece.

He’s appealing his conviction. You’d much rather get the case thrown out on merit than get a pardon.

Stone’s conviction does stand unless he wins his appeal. We’ll see how that turns out.

Written for him by a WaPo staffer
months ago and held on a drawer in the eventuality Trump ever pardoned him.

I wonder if Mueller even knows he signed it. It was probably with a wobbly X.

I agree. But that doesn't mean a pardon might not come later should Roger's appeal fail which I do not believe it will. The evidence is pretty damning about the corruption in his case.

Millions of dollars wasted to get him on a pathetic process crime.

This doddering old fool has no idea what Stone did — and was patently obvious during his hearings he wasn’t involved in the entire Russian hoax.

Not one to let someone off so easy, but he and Joe Biden together couldn’t come up with a coherent thought.

Stone said he was appealing. Don’t know if he did...so it may not be over yet.

he might get a pardon, after the election. the goal was to keep him out of jail but the impact on the election has to be considered.

Remember Bush commuted Scooter Libby’s sentence and kept him out of jail. Later Trump gave him the full pardon.

In both cases you can lay upon the judge the need for the commutation. Scooter was denied the opportunity to appeal before being forced into jail, Stone’s judge deliberately ignored the corrupt jury foreman in his case. Liberal judges want these guys in jail right away because they figure eventually they will get overturned, so they want to get that pound of flesh while they can.

Unfortunately, Mueller’s corruption goes well beyond Russiagate. His entire career he has mounted abusive prosecutions to put his acquired targets in prison. Well, except the Whitey Bulger case where he protected criminals. Plus he has a stable of acolytes, like Fitzgerald, who think this kind of behavior is how Justice and the FBI ought to operate. A lifelong swamp dweller.
