Full Panel: Robert Mueller Writes That Roger Stone Remains A Convicted Felon | Meet The Press
@MTP
The Elephant on the Golf course is simultaneously pushing his agenda, helping his Perps and preparing his Insanity Defense when this gets down to a trial.
Wo0dy
Now it is Mueller Time
Stone knows exactly how deep Trump and his kids were in it…He at some point made it clear to Trump that he might “Need a favor, though…”
That would be the Biden family you dope!
https://youtu.be/EyPXr8f8e8I
Bring Barr down
**RODGER STONE , KNOWS, ALL ABOUT TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS,,, RUSSIA AND WIKILEAKS.. TRUMP PARDONS HIM TO KEEP HIM QUIET !!**
He didn’t “pardon” him you moron. At least get the facts before you offer an opinion.
All this is now beyond trump..ENABLERS must now be held accountable for supporting a corrupt presidency..GOP, barr, pompeo, moscow mitch and many others!
Anna Palmer, I really don’t care about the Republican’s concerns. They own this disaster Trump has created.
Who owns the problems of the inner cities going bankrupt by democrats for the past 75 years all of these inner cities are by democrats and these corrupt Unions that keep bad police men in uniform…is that TRUMP’s fault?
Remember when the worst thing we thought Trump could ever do was to divulge code-word Israeli intelligence to Russian spies while entertaining them in the Oval Office? We were so innocent then. 😒
N.b.c.: nothing but crap.
trump always does this on Fridays. “Friday night massacres”! “Gangster Mafia Mob Regime talk”..you got that right George Will! That fits trump and “his team” to a T!
MOB TALK: The ship doesn’t hold water, so the Republicans are looking for a “chop shop” to sell it to.
Junkfood for Economic SLAVES…..
Donald Trump is the greatest president in American History. He has given his life for this country, and if the COMMIE DEMS steal the election from him then they will have started a Holy War in this country. A war that they will not survive.
HolyWar 2020
Trump 2020
MAGA 2020
Patriots4Trump 2020
It’s always what they (the Republicans) behind the scene or privately which is the same as saying nothing at all.
More horrible bad behavior from trump!!! AND I for one (of Many I’ll bet) believe he is a true crook who has JUST feed other crooks who happen to be is “Buddies”–UGH, JUST
SICKENING
These trump cronies are guilty as charged, yet dear hardworking people who have values, who care about their families and others must be disgusted too!!!
mitt romney is a lying dog faced pony soldier .
his base wanted him to free rodger. they are happy trump righted a wrong.
Fhauck Todd and his toadies hate America. NBC is a Chinese funded terrorist organization. That’s been proven a fact.
yeh u didn, t care when obuma handed out 1700 pardons,to terrorist. here u have an innocent man being framed.
Trump rules the swamp .
Not a swamp but a superfund site.
Hey, idiots…Trump is worried about not being reelected, so he’s making sure his “buddy” won’t sell him out when he has no Presidency to protect him. That’s what “loyalty” looks like. C’mon, US media. C’mon, US voters. Are you all really this dumb?
Trump had to commute Stone’s sentence. Stone is the key, the link, between Donny bone spurs, aka “agent orange” the russian asset, WikiLeaks, the Russian FSB, and the 2016 Trump campaign. Stone was the one intermediary between the Russians, WikiLeaks, and the 2016 Trump election committee. That has already been exposed. If Donny bone spurs didn’t commute Stone’s sentence, Stone could flip and effectively land Trump in federal prison.
Go get Stone then make an arrest.
@JohnnyBGood11 He’s already been arrested, convicted and sentenced. He will be a convicted felon for the rest of his life.
All Republican members of the House of Representatives that voted against impeachment or removal from office in the Senate, should be voted out of office.
Every Democrat needs to be votes out of office . At ever city ,state and federal level.
@just me It is easier to con someone than it is to convince them they have been conned. Just keep drinking the coolaid justme while goose stepping off the cliff.
@Lithuanian Giant Mueller pulled off an investigation based on a FAKE HOAX, and that’s been PROVEN! It’s the dems that don’t want Stone talking. Why don’t you follow FACTS instead of being a sycophant?
@Lover of Freedom P. Read the Mueller report. Or used your Altfacts, Altreality websites.
I will stand with the intelligence community of our country.
The republicans should be qorried
Worried
what happened to assange?
Keep in mind that both Pat Toomey and Mitt Romney are still died in the wool neocons. The more they appear to help the Biden campaign, the more Joe will owe them come January 2021
I hope a good citizen takes care of Stone 😉
Why dont you do it
Pussyfart, wanting someone else to do it, you’re pathetic.
Andrew Johnson was following Lincoln’s lead. Does anyone actually believe Lincoln planned on treating the returning Confederate states like defeated territories? The last men Lincoln talked too about his plans for reconstruction were US Grant and WT Sherman. Both these Generals then unilaterally delivered surrender terms so favorable to southern soldiers returning home that they were rejected by the radicals posthaste. Buchanan was much worse because he was a doughface.
Trump, in reality, doesn’t want to be president again. The presidency is a humongous nightmare for him. He had said that the presidency is too hard. Remember? He wants out. That’s why he is in constant self-destructing mode every day.
Stone has dirt on all of the republicans. He has always been the person willing to do the corrupt action. Trump thought this would distract from his killing US citizens with his ineptitude.
TRUMP’s lawyer has dirt on all of them too it’s in his new book
It seems likely Trump commuted Stone’s sentence because Stone has unreleased dirt on Trump. Why? A) Because Trump has no conscience about throwing anyone under the bus once they’re no more use to him. B) because it’s bad to be seen doing this, so he must be running scared.
I would love to see those hypocrite sycophants Lindsay Graham and Moscow Mitch get kicked out of office
MUST SEE! WE HAVE BEEN LIED TO… HERE IS THE FACTS ABOUT THE LATEST COVID SURGE.. DO WE NEED MASKS?? ANSWERS ARE FINALLY HERE… https://youtu.be/p56OlIoAMP8
Sadly Biden has no solution to the problems …he is being forced to mimic Trumps’. Noone will jump up on vote day for sleepy joe.
I’m going to vote for Joe and so is my Dog,…hahahahhaaha
America under Trump is a banana Republic.
All of these talking heads are anti Trump. What a joke and we are to get an unbiased view and anything close to reality with these well paid Democrat operatives posing as journalists. Roger stone is full of bravado and showmanship but not a Russian agent or misleading of anything consequential. Comey leaked and lied. Two justice systems are at work.
Boy wake up news people. Barr just lied 🤥 about his push back. They are playing “good cop/bad cop”.
Barr is as corrupt as they come and has lied a lot. Hopefully there will be an investigation of his misdeeds in the next administration.
Don’t call it swampy. It’s just corrupt!
Love it, will only says Mr. Trump repeatedly.
And no matter what happens, we’re still stuck with Trump. Why?
Mueller’s ineptitude has helped trump destroy the country, WTF mueller could have done a lot better. He blew it and now better shut up , he is complicit !
The scope of Mueller’s investigation was very limited. It actually did quit a bit but its ultimate target was to provide information to Congress. Barr stopped that in its tracks by blocking the release of the full text of the investigation to Congress. It wasn’t Mueller’s ineptitude but the corruption of Barr and the Trump administration. We no longer have a democracy in this country, Barr and Trump, with the help of Senate republicans have essentially destroyed that. In the next administration we can hope the full text of the investigation will be released.
Don Adams Believe me I understand everything and his reasoning. He simply granted trump and his family special privileges and failed to provide foolproof reports that even corrupt Barr could not have been able to manipulate . Mueller simply did not do a good job delivering the results of the investigation. Why did all the others like Cohen,flynn , etc faced charges and were convicted but their boss was totally absolved . Argue all you want but mueller did a disservice to the USA
You guys forgot that trump won because of putin not because of his base
The big hole in the US Constitution has been brought to the fore. Everything is predicated on the assumption that politicians will follow the law. This administration including all sitting Republicans have committed criminal acts. Breaking an oath is a criminal act.
All of trump’s White House advisers should have encouraged him to commute roger stone’s felony sentence so trump will do exactly the opposite- for that he’s known to do against best advice!😀😀😀
We need more voters who know the difference between right and wrong instead of left or right, etc.
Smashing up the crockery alright…
Wonder what he’s gonna get to smashing next
Commutations and pardons DON’T scrub your conviction. Stone is still convicted. This may well haunt Trump after he leaves office. Big mistake.
@D SP Whitewater fraud with the Clintons were into, Susan McDougal was pardoned by Clinton…Clinton did shady things too in real estate,..I’m sure TRUMP did shady things in real estate in New York….I’m like this, I don’t believe in the lessor of two evils I tell people when they vote, YOU PICK YOUR EVIL PERSON and I will pick MY EVIL PERSON and leave it at that….don’t tell me you believe Hillary is less evil than TRUMP,… I heard that from my friends all the time….Hillary is the lessor of two evils, so you’re saying the person you’re voting for is evil.
JohnnyBGood11, if that can be proven, then that’s definitely an issue. But there’s no evidence of that.
With Stone, he himself ADMITTED he could’ve turned on Trump, but didn’t to save Trump and ensure Stone’s own commutation or pardon. Stone said that himself. It’s not a matter of speculation unlike the example you gave with Clinton. That’s the stupidity of what Stone said. He basically threw himself and Trump under the bus for after Trump leaves office. It was VERY stupid! Extremely stupid.
Also, if for any reason evidence comes out at any stage that Trump was indeed a co-conspirator in the crime which Trump commuted Stone for, only in this case would the commutation be able to be set aside as a self-commutation or self-pardon. Self-pardons and commutations are not possible. Less known is that an officer cannot pardon or commute a crime in which he was a co-conspirator, because that constitutes a self-pardon or self-commutation.
Example: Trump orders a hitman to take out his own wife. The hitman gets convicted for murder. Trump promises to pardon the convict if he get found guilty, as long as the convict doesn’t drag Trump into it. The convict pleads not guilty but is found guilty for murder, no one still knows about Trump having paid for the hit. But then AFTERWARDS, evidence proves Trump actually ordered and paid for the hit that killed his wife. Trump’s commutation or pardon of the convict was null and void ab initio, because Trump was a part of that crime, so it falls under prohibitions to self-pardons. There are a very few limitations to the pardon power of a president, namely he can only pardon federal not state offences, and it cannot be a category of a self-pardon.
You do understand that, don’t you?
JohnnyBGood11, I didn’t vote for Hillary. I’ve never voted Democrat. I’m a conservative. And yes I’m against Trump.
This year it’s not between Hillary and Trump. It’s between Trump and Biden. Or as I put it, it’s a choice between Trump or America.
Do I like Biden? No. Do I want Biden as president? No. Do I have a choice? No. Biden is the only viable alternative that could win in a two party system. Voting a third candidate is not an option.
If I have to save my child’s life by being given the choice to have my finger cut off or my leg cut off, indeed both options are bad, but guess what, I need to save my child. So, to save the country, cut off my finger and give us Biden.
The logical fallacy you’re making is the false equivalence fallacy. Are Hillary and Trump both evil? Yes. But it is a logical fallacy in which an equivalence is drawn between two subjects based on flawed or false reasoning. This fallacy is categorized as a fallacy of inconsistency. A colloquial expression of false equivalency is “comparing apples and oranges”. Both are evil but different levels of evil.
Again, I didn’t vote for Hillary because I got caught up in the false equivalence fallacy telling conservative voters that they were both evil, so you may as well vote for the evil of your own party. But the reality is they are only both evil, but Trump is way more evil. A lot of Republicans are not going to do that same mistake this time around with Biden. Trump or America. #TheLincolnProject
@D SP With what you just wrote to me, a song comes to mind by Led Zeppelin,…called Ramble On,…you went off the rails with this,…”Trump orders a hitman to take out his own wife” are you talking about Robert Blake …now you’re late for a terrorist group meeting with BLM….run a long.
JohnnyBGood11, 🤦♂️
It was okay when Bill Clinton let out 140 criminals and Obama let some out just to go back to jail weeks later.
Please name the pardons those two presidents signed that let off people who could squeal on them. That’s what Trump just did.
Why is Trump trying to sell Puerto Rico doesn’t he know they are American ?
It’s corrupt
@JohnnyBGood11 Glad you talking about trump administration
for stone to not talk = quid pro quo
What did the Supreme Court said last week about the president‘a immunity? What was the point of an special prosecutor who would only prosecute the lackeys but not the main offender?
*********NBC NEWS IS VILE LYING SCUM***********
Why so much explaining of dt?are you explaining to him , since he watches media all day? Why not let him pay a psychiatrist?
To say this is looks bad to his supporters is giving them way too much credit. His supporters will support literally anything he does.
Trump raised over 10 million dollars in Florida from his base. Didn’t speak to the state about it’s surge of covid case’s. Does’nt care !!!!!! Concerned about his buddy not going to jail. I bet no other federal defendant’s awaiting to surrender gets a chance to stay home and avoids exposure to covid!!!!! Priority are all mixed up from this administration.
Mr Muller waking up and courage ing up ?? At laaast……
When Biden wins he should burn the white House down then have the ashes removed to get get rid of the vile stench left by Trump and then rebuild a new white House
I think the role of PRESIDENT SHOULD ONLY BE CEREMONIAL IT WOULD GIVE YOUR INEPT CONGRESSES THE ROLES TO GOVERN.
Trump did the right thing.
Anyone who disagree just hates the president and is good left wing nut case.
Barr said explicitly in his confirmation that this action by a President would be a crime….whatcha gonna do now Billy?
Looking forward for Robert Mueller, appearing in front of the Senate committee, to explain his conduct in the conduct of the Michael Flynn,that should be fun ,looking forward to MSNBC coverage on that.☕ Thank you.
When he apologises to Trump for the FBIs lack of due process in pursuing Trump’s allies, he will have a little credibility. I don’t know who is worse, the self righteous, the sinner, or those who wish sinners never attain forgiveness?! I think the latter are the worst.
Trump pardoned him because he had no choice, Stone has the goods and he was about to sing
OMG..!! Its something like 10-12 people now Trump have commuted. Didnt Obama commute 2000 people in silence…
Is trump stupid? He just lost his Presidency! 😤
msdnc was muller’s russian collusion trumpet, now they are quiet.
The only ppl that could possibly vote for the 4 reprehensible creatures that make up the Squad are ppl that hate their own country. What truly despicable & ungrateful individuals these ppl must be.
Water is wet
It is possible that the president is now creating his own implosion, intentionally
Robert Mueller- Special Counsel, The Swamp vs the Presidential power. Drain the Swamp
It is a little late for Mr. Mueller to stand up for what is right. He had the chance to protect us but he bunted. He is at fault for trump still being in the White House. Too little, too late Mr. Mueller. We have to protect the Rule of Law, the Constitution, and the United States of America this November. Vote Blue up and down the ticket. VOTE Democrat all way as if your life depends on it, beause your life does depend on it.
Sure thanks Bob, just knowing that Stone’s still a convicted felon makes us all sleep better. But do you know what would have REALLY done the trick? Insisting on testimony from Trump and his administration officials during YOUR investigation. You know, when YOU allowed people with subpoenas to NOT testify because,,oh, whatever. HOW did you drop the ball Bob? HOW could you wiffle and waffle and swallow all the main points and just sort of mumble your way through it?
You had ONE job Bob. ONE job to do and you wiffed. Swing and a miss!
Robert you had your chance to repudiate the Trump propaganda machine and you declined. By your silence you allowed the most criminal president in history to run rampant and he made you irrelevant. Go back to your dotage. You’ve failed your country.
” what is POTUS doing ??? “…they ask.
…And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak astonishing things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath is accomplished: for what has been determined shall be done.
…Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
…But in their place he shall honor the god of fortresses: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
Robert Mueller doesn’t even know what day it is!! Come on man! Gimme a break!
Obama had 1,715 commutes on sentencing compared to 11 by trump. Always making it political, where was the uproar when obama commuted sentences on drug dealers and terrorists. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_L%C3%B3pez_Rivera#2017_commutation_and_release
Donald Trump in 2105, I’m going to drain the swamp, Trump in 2020, is and defends the swamp.
It’s only people who are willing to roll-over on any and everyone who consider using the term to be “mob talk”!
Does Dumb Donald think Stone is going quietly into the sun set. That loud mouth will spill the beans one day in a book or media. His mouth is like a broken refrigerator.
It is God who has made us and not we ourselves.
https://youtu.be/YQo7bV2hzBY
The grand jury indicts 12 Russian military intelligence officers and one ham sandwich… Our judicial system was totally corrupted by Obama presidency.
🙄 bunch of idiots, flappin their fat yaps.
That mouth never stops moving, but they don’t actually say anything.
It is “unconscionable” that Rikers Island inmates who were released due to coronavirus concerns are committing new crimes, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday. Who would have ever thought that could happen … everyone but liberal/leftist’s.
Trump and his administration are bending America citizens over robbing us and they are not caring about us at all..
Its free money for them.its just like holding a gun tp the head. Do we want 4 more years
Masks are neither effective nor safe: A summary of the science
https://www.primarydoctor.org/masks-not-effect
Why don’t ALL of you, go look at EVERYONE that O b ama and Cl into n pardoned? Wow! You ALL are so hypocritical! And, Stone wasn’t PARDONED, his sentence was commuted. Not the same. As usual, it’s pure unadulterated HATE, and this is not natural. I really wonder WHO is in fear!?
Oh the outrage of commuting a sentence for a physically harmless old man. Convicts recently released by NY over 1,000 and California 8,000. What about the guy in New York that had been arrested 103 times that almost killed a 92 year old lady. Why was he allowed out on the streets?
Presidential Pardons: Obama 212, Trump 10. Obama granted clemency to more convicts
than any other President since Truman.
Q. What’s outrageous?
A. CNN, MSNBC, ABC rabid dogs foaming at the mouth. Where were they from 2009-2016?
Free Roger! Yay!!!! Trump only commuted a sentence. Obama PARDONED real criminals. Over 1,000 of them. These people are obviously speaking to simple minded sheep.
The ability or the wherewithal, she’s so nice. They don’t have the balls or the character to speak out against him
The law and order president 😃😅
HAHAHAHAHA TRUMP 2020
You guys should do your homework. Sad.
Of course, the Castrati party members are starting to read the signs for November…. and some of them are starting to get half a ball….
And Herr Mueller is a straight up treasonous reprobate.
How is Trump commuting Stone’s sentence “draining the swamp” or being the “law and order” President?
George Will needs to be on these shows more often.
Your right, I will die if trump win’s the election. I think before that happens he will be assassinate. Our government passed a rule that the electoral college has to vote the way their people vote. That will stop the trumps and other candidates from winning if the don’t have the people’s vote.
