| The Rick Gates testimony is brutal for Stone and directly implicates the President, as he was aware of the coordination of hacks and leaks with Wikileaks. |
|
| To be fair this isn't new - it was in the Mueller Report. |
The stuff specific to Stone was redacted from the Mueller report because of this ongoing case. |
|
"After Mr. Trump got off the phone with Mr. Stone, what did then-candidate Trump say?"
Gates: "He indicated that more information would be coming." |
|
So Gates implicated Trump in lying under oath in his written deposition to Mueller (specifically Trump’s knowledge of his campaign’s work with Wikileaks.)
Does the GOP like their presidents who lie under oath? |
|
A high-level group of Trump campaign aides met in the summer of 2016 to strategize about taking advantage of forthcoming Wikileaks dumps.
The group included: Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, Jason Miller and Stephen Miller |
Meh. NBD. Obviously. |
When the dust clears on this, the number of people who should be in prison is massive. |
|
The Trump campaign encouraged the hacking and then actively used the stolen documents/emails to win the Presidency.
That's pretty bad. Oh, and the President lied under oath to Mueller when he said that he never talked about Wikileaks with Roger Stone. |
| And yet, it is the minority kid jumping a subway turnstile who is in prison. |
The end always justifies the means for Republicans. They never really care about right and wrong; all that matters is us vs. them, and laws only apply to them. |
But it was pretty clear what was going on. |
| Stone’s defense yesterday rested without calling any witnesses. Guess a pardon is in the bag? |
His lawyer is going to say "It depends on what 'talked' means." |
