Roger Stone Went on CNN to Continue His Post-Arrest Publicity Tour



Roger Stone, the man who is still arguing 50 years later that Richard Nixon was innocent, went on CNN with Chris Cuomo Friday night to defend himself after he was arrested Friday and indicted by a grand jury for lying to Congress and trying to “persuade a witness to provide false testimony.”

Stone opened by, of course, plugging his upcoming book before telling Cuomo that there is “no evidence whatsoever” to prove he is guilty.

“Roger, to be honest with you,” Cuomo told Stone, “I have not seen an indictment connected to this probe that has more proof than this one does of communications that you have had that prove that you didn’t tell the truth to Congress.”

“False. Every one of those is out of context,” Stone argued back, disputing Mueller’s claim in the indictment that a senior Trump campaign official directed Stone to contact Wikileaks.

They think they are bulletproof.

And they are, until the day that they are not.

The NY Times had an interesting piece on Stone. Mueller is more interested in his electronic devices than Stone him self. He did a lot of his dirty work over electronic media and used the encrypted WHAT'S APP application.
What is not encrypted is the origin of the text.. Stone's phones and computers... HA! Mueller will get all the info even if Stone does not tell him.. Bigger fish to fry I guess..

And that pretty much is the main reason why he is doing his publicity tour. It's for his book.

In other words, a "trifecta of FAIL" to the rest of us.
