Perhaps I misunderstood your question.

 

"Evidence is irrelevant".

I was being sarcastic.

Apologies if I caused confusion.

 

Evidence is relevant, of course.

 

There have been non-stop claims of Trump working for/with Putin, Assange working for/with Putin, etc., without a shred of evidence thus far.

 

 

 

 

 

You better read the Stone indictment.

Did he say that he would take a bullet for Trump?

I'd have thought an ongoing investigation wouldn't be releasing any information till they had a result.

They have a result, they indicted Stone because he worked with the Russians and WikiLeaks to steal and publish emails to influence the election.

could be.  time will tell

 

 

Some light reading...

 

Roger Stone Is Literal Human Garbage, Here's Why

 

 

well that was some optics, 29 swat team members and 17 police vehicles to arrest a 72 year old sleeping man all for alleged process crimes.

They could have just called Stone to turn himself in,imo. Seems,an overkill from a desperate prosecutor looking for something to stick imo.

 

Optics like this is a sign of weakness in the Russia collusion conspiracy narrative.

Not quite. This arrest is a purely politically-motivated stunt by Mueller who hasn't a smidgen of dirt on DJT.

Excellent summation of the incident and excellent interview with Stone, as well as 2 interviews with others afterwards.

The fact that he was one of Nixon's cloying hatchet boys and the fact that  he sent false stories, manipulated polls and engaged in other deceitful immoral acts  says it all. This is a bad, bad man. He's going to get what he deserves for his decades of abusing the democratic process. He is more of a threat to the US way of life than any jihadi terrorist.

You are absolutely correct and spot on!

 

He also had to apologize (in a separate incident) so he wouldn't have to pay out for a huge lawsuit against from a Chinese businessman. Stone accused him of donating to her campaign I believe. It was was false.

"The reason Mueller (or anyone) has not been able to find an 'actual link to Wikileaks' yet is because Roger Stone has pulled off one of most successful trollings in recent memory.

 

2 years in, it still hasn't sunk in that Stone's 'link' to WL is a combo of b.s. & reading the news"

Nice little tip off that had CNN at his doorstep as heavily armed FBI agents arrived at 5am for the arrest. Maybe the threat from a 66 yo with no priors would have been too intimidating for these tough FBI agents. Guess it looked better on the telly.

You are conveniently missing the point of the well orchestrated raid by the FBI. The purpose of such an elaborate raid was to prevent Stone from destroying evidence (similar to a certain POTUS absconding with the notes of an interpreter from a highly secretive, suspicious, improper meeting with the leader of an adversarial country).

 

Kudos to CNN for being so well connected and at the top of their game.

"As I’ve said before, Stone had no actual link to Wikileaks, he just trolled everyone into thinking that he did.

 

He’s now being indicted for lying to Congress — not to Mueller btw — about his efforts to find out what Wikileaks had from two people who also had no real link either."

This is what he was indicted at this time, there is no guarantee that there won't be further indictments.

A pre-dawn raid with 29 armed FBI agents, CNN tipped off.  All for a guy who has zero history of violence.  Lots of drama, lots of theater.  The indictments are all for process crimes.  Ho hum.

Stone’s indictment includes accusations of the part he played in contacts with WikiLeaks.

Seriously Boon...what's with your infatuation with the man-child? Those knee pads must be wearing thin! 

Sometimes I wonder about thease old guys they are old they will die soon are they just trying to make a mark in history good or bad just a way to be rembered they just seem to be so sketchy

You might want to double check that as it is not illegal to contact Wiki. His problem comes from a possible lie to Congress about any such contact.

His problems start with the lie to Congress

 

Why he took the risk of committing perjury is where hus problems will lead.

 

As for not being illegal to contact Wiki, you are correct.

 

Unless of course in doing so he was conspiring to comit a felony.

 

Mueller’s not drawn any blanks so far.

 

Stone will sing.

Unsuccessfully tried to find something to either confirm or refute your assertion. Having never personally been arrested by the FBI I do not know.

It’s a repetitive complaint.  It’s protocol

Yes... I often see incriminating evidence in my line of work...

 

likely your background is in law enforcement or pi because an astute lawyer would likely conclude stones house/property for evidence would be "low yield"
