The Phony Indictment Of Roger Stone

Amendment Of 1/25/2019

When I hastily wrote this blog post on some hours ago, I had no idea who Roger Stone really was and I had neglected to do any background research on this man, because of time constraints. My ignorance comes to haunt me now :-)

Now, I know Roger Stone even wrote a book in which he asserted that that Lyndon B. Johnson was a serial psychopath, who allegedly had several persons murdered among them president John F. Kennedy. In this Reason Foundation article (Roger Stone Indictment Describes a Cover-Up of a Nonexistent Crime/The Trump adviser's legal problem is not what he did but what he said about what he did.), I found an interview YouTube video of Nick Gillespie with Roger Stone, where Mr. Stone discusses his book.

Here is a most recent post indictment interview with Roger Stone:

Stone on his indictment: This is about silencing me, criminalizing political expression with Tucker Carlson

The trial promises to be very interesting with Roger Stone. I have a feeling Robert Mueller will come out of this as a total fool if not worse! Mueller will likely rue the day he indicted Stone!

Original/Revised Post

Today (1/25/2019), the Wall Street Journal reported about the indictment of Roger Stone by the Mueller investigation. Roger Stone is a longtime advisor of Roger Stone.

There appears nothing in the indictment that has much substance or is of merit! The evidence presented is not convincing or so trivial as to be laughable

I have briefly perused the indictment against Roger Stone:

1. None of the criminal accusations have much to do with the possible Russian interference in the last U.S. presidential election
2. Basically all criminal accusations deal with whether Roger Stone communicated in written form with someone or not and whether he misrepresented about whether he had e-mail communications with these persons or not in public hearings
3. The witness tampering charges are weak
4. What Roger Stone, according to the indictment, did was to contact various persons to gather intelligence on political opponents. There were no Russians involved at all

The ongoing, now two year long, special counsel investigation by Robert Mueller has been for months becoming more and more a farce or travesty of justice. It is obviously a witch hunt against the incumbent president than anything else! What a waste of taxpayers money!
