"Prosecutors never put all of their evidence into an indictment," said Joyce Vance, a former U.S. Attorney in Alabama. "Just because this indictment doesn't slap you in the face with a conspiracy doesn't mean Mueller doesn't have that evidence."

OP
It contains enough about lies to get a judge to sign warrants to search his premises.

That and the fact that last night, Trump made him a "coffee boy" like Stephanopoulos.

The indictment tells Stone he's going to prison if he doesn't cooperate. There's no reason for Mueller to reveal anything else publicly now.

The charges show that he can't be trusted to produce documents or devices voluntarily.

"Just because there's no evidence doesn't mean it's not true."
Don't have much use for faith in the unseen these days.

Why didnt Mueller charge Stone with conspiracy? The rules in federal cases require that prosecutors provide defendants with broad discovery. By indicting Stone on a fairly narrow set of charges, Mueller limits what has to be disclosed & can protect ongoing investigation.

When he comes in for an interview they'll show him more damaging evidence that will have him exposed to serious time. Then he'll make a deal.

....about all of the one sided Fake Media coverage (collusion with Crooked H?) that I had to endure during my very successful presidential campaign. What about the now revealed bias by Facebook and many others. Roger Stone didnt even work for me anywhere near the Election!
