Robert Mueller: Roger Stone remains a convicted felon, and rightly so
WAPO ^ | 7/11/2020 | Robert Mueller

Posted on 07/13/2020 6:49:38 AM PDT by bitt

Robert S. Mueller III served as special counsel for the Justice Department from 2017 to 2019.

The work of the special counsel’s office — its report, indictments, guilty pleas and convictions — should speak for itself. But I feel compelled to respond both to broad claims that our investigation was illegitimate and our motives were improper, and to specific claims that Roger Stone was a victim of our office. The Russia investigation was of paramount importance. Stone was prosecuted and convicted because he committed federal crimes. He remains a convicted felon, and rightly so.

Russia’s actions were a threat to America’s democracy. It was critical that they be investigated and understood. By late 2016, the FBI had evidence that the Russians had signaled to a Trump campaign adviser that they could assist the campaign through the anonymous release of information damaging to the Democratic candidate. And the FBI knew that the Russians had done just that: Beginning in July 2016, WikiLeaks released emails stolen by Russian military intelligence officers from the Clinton campaign. Other online personas using false names — fronts for Russian military intelligence — also released Clinton campaign emails.

I’m 66 and almost retired. If this government considered me to be a convicted felon on what he was convicted of, I’d wear it as a badge of honor.

And you,Herr Mueller,remain a particularly malodorous member of the conspiracy to unseat a duly elected President...simply because you don’t like him.

If there was no ‘Mueller investigation’ there would be no Stone conviction.

Mueller was not investigating crimes, he was CREATING crimes, so that he could then prosecute.

No Robert, YOU presided over a FRAUDULENT INVESTIGATION, wherein YOU KNEW there was no underlying crime.

Therefore, Roger Stone is a victim of "the poisonous fruit".

Only in the Obamas “fundamentally transformed” era can an enemy of the United state involved in an attempted coup of a sitting POTUS get away with calling a crime victim a “felon”.

Biden and Mueller - what a team! A President and Vice President with dementia. And Pelosi waiting in the wings when they are Article 25ed!

So I guess he wasn’t unbiased and he was conducting a witch hunt, and that remains true.

Robert Mueller should be a convicted felon, and rightly so (perjury, false charges, treason, etc., etc.)

Robert S. Mueller III served as special counsel for the Justice Department from 2017 to 2019.

No.

Robert S Mueller III served as chief puppet of the DNC and Hillary Clinton from 2017 until such time as they find him to be of no more use.

Until then he is obliged to lie, cheat and denegrate President Trump as much and as often possible.

Did Mueller or anybody else ever explain why Russia wanted Trump to be President instead of Clinton?

When/If Trump acquires icebreakers from the Rooskies, Mueller will be vindicated...

Easy for Mueller to have his handlers write an op ed for him.

Not so easy for Mueller when he has to appear in person in front of a Senate Committee.

At this point I believe the polls would say it is a toss-up as to who is the most senile.

MUELLER or BIDEN

Convictions can be overturned, upon the presentation and acceptance of exculpatory evidence. And once overturned, it remains expunged forever.

There are indications that a considerable amount of exculpatory evidence was either not presented, or dismissed as irrelevant.

Refusal to lie is not an indictable offense.
