Flailing and pointing fingers at 74-year-old President Donald for commuting the 40-month sentence of 67-year-old self-described “dirty trickster” Roger Stone, Trump’s critics came out the woodwork blasting the president. Trump has every right to commute or pardon anyone’s sentence under his Article 2 authority, despite the critics, ripping him for undermining the criminal justice system. Yet the same critics who now slam Trump for trying to get Stone’s conviction right, were ones supporting the 22-month, $40 million Robert Mueller Special Counsel investigation. Mueller couldn’t contain himself today, watching another one of his convictions go by the wayside, as Trump delivered another slap to his Special Counsel investigation. “The work of the special counsel’s office—should speak for itself,” Mueller wrote in on the op-ed page of the Jeff Bezos-owned, anti-Trump Washington Post.
Mueller’s comment tells the whole story about another corrupt prosecutor who knew from Day One the charges against Trump, specifically those about his alleged ties to Moscow, were utter rubbish, based 100% of former Secretary on State Hillary Clinton’s paid opposition research AKA “the Steele Dossier.” Mueller knew this from the outset but chose to waste taxpayer money and time on a worthless goose chase. “But I feel compelled to respond both to broad claims that our investigation was illegitimate and our motive were improper, and to specific claims that Roger Stone was a victim of our office,” Mueller said. Mueller surely knows that you can’t predicate any legitimate criminal probe based on fraudulent probable cause. Mueller knew that his probable cause for investigating Trump and his 2016 campaign was based purely on fake opposition research by con artist Christopher Steele.
Democrats and the media had high hopes for the Special Counsel investigation to find impeachable offenses against Trump. When he delivered his 484-page Final Report March 23, 2019, Mueller found no evidence of Russian conspiracy, no surprise because he knew Hillary’s dossier was rubbish. Steele himself admitted March 16 in court proceeding in the U.K. that he deleted all the underlying evidence behind the report, meaning, he erased everything, if there were anything other that pure fabrication. Yet Mueller feels inclined to defend himself and his investigation. Whatever Stone said to Congress or Mueller prosecutors, like Andrew Weissmann, it was irrelevant because Stone had no useful information about WikiLeaks or anything related to Russian hacks of the Democratic National Committee [DNC] or former Hillary campaign Chairman John D. Podesta’s emails. Mueller has a lot of nerve.
Trump’s decision of commute Stone’s sentence wasn’t based on an old friendship or anything like that. It was a statement that former FBI Director James Comey’s illegal counterintelligence investigation into Trump’s 2016 campaign and Mueller’s investigation was pure garbage, predicated on Hillary’s fake Steele dossier. You don’t hear Comey or Mueller apologizing for framing Trump or his campaign with bogus probable cause. No, you hear more feeble excuses from the FBI and Department of Justice. “We made every decision in Stone’s case, as in all our cases, based solely on the facts and the law and in accordance with the rule of law. The women and men who conducted these investigations and prosecutions acted with the highest integrity. Claims to the contrary are false,” Mueller said. Mueller won’t explain how his investigation could be predicated on a fake, fraudulent, fabricated dossier.
Mueller spoke loudly on the op-ed pages of the Washington Post because Comey’s counterintelligence investigation and Mueller’s Special Counsel investigation are about to be challenged by Atty. Gen. William Barr and U.S. Atty. John Durham (D-Conn.). Barr and Durham are expected to return indictments to former Obama administration officials who were involved in illegal investigations of Trump’s 2016 campaign. Giving Mueller space in the Washington Post hopes to divert attention for four years of fake stories tying Trump to the Kremlin, before Mueller’s March 23, 2019 Final Report rained on Democrats’ parade. “An American President commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president,” tweed Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Ut.), a known Trump enemy. All of Trump’s critics couldn’t wait to lash out at the president.
Trump’s decision of commute Stone was connected with the FBI’s horrific treatment of 62-year-old Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, when Comey sent 50-year-old disgraced former FBI Agent Peter Stzrok to the White House Jan. 24, 2017 to interview Flynn about his conversations with Russia. In private notes now declassified, Strzok talked about setting up Flynn to perjure himself. Flynn’s sentence was tossed out by Barr because it was clear he did nothing wrong, including lying to Strzok. Compared to Flynn, Stone was choirboy, having nothing to add to Mueller’s probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election or Trump’s alleged ties to the Kremlin. Yet somehow Stone got snared in another perjury trap over nothing. “Like every president, President Trump has the constitutional right to commute sentences where believes it serves the interests of justice,” said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).
