Assange shut Stone down. Wikileaks shut Stone down. Stone shut Stone down.

"Stone served as an adviser on President Donald Trump's presidential campaign, and according to The WSJ report, Stone said in an email on August 4, 2016, that he had "dined with Julian Assange last night."
However, Stone has denied ever meeting Assange.
In a text exchange on Friday before the WSJ report, Stone said he "never met or spoke with Assange ever," and Stone told The Journal the contents of the email were "said in jest."

Stone also noted that his passport showed that he did not leave the country in 2016."

Jarrett has been criticized for letting his political beliefs color his legal commentary, sometimes changing his mind on legal issue based on which political figure would be affected. On August 3, 2017, Jarrett called for a grand jury for Hillary Clinton over her email controversy.^[7] A day later, when a grand jury was impaneled by special counsel Robert Mueller in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, Jarrett said that grand juries were an "undemocratic farce".^[7]

Jarrett later called the Mueller investigation "illegitimate and corrupt" on Fox News, stating that "the FBI has become America's secret police" and "a shadow government".^[8][9] Jarrett likened the FBI to the KGB, the Soviet security agency, for which he received PolitiFact's "Pants on Fire" rating.^[10] According to PolitiFact, "numerous historians of the FBI and the KGB say the comparison is ridiculous. The KGB implemented the goals of the Communist Party leadership, including countless examples of tortures and summary executions. The FBI, by contrast, is subject to the rule of law and is democratically accountable."^[10]In the context of possible collusion between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and the Russian government, Jarrett has said that any such collusion would not be a crime: "Collusion is not a crime. Only in an rust law. You can collude all you want with a foreign government in an election. There is no such statute."^[11][12] According to PolitiFact, the statement is false. Three prominent election law scholars said there are at least four laws that would prohibit the sort of activities under investigation, whether those laws mention collusion or not. Jarrett’s focus on a single word fails to reflect the reach of the criminal code."^[11]

Jarrett has said that former FBI Director James Comey may have broken the law by releasing a memo to press wherein Comey recounted a conversation with President Trump where Trump requested that Comey end the investigation into Michael T. Flynn.^[13] According to University of Texas School of Law professor Bobby Chesney, Jarrett's assertion is "nonsense".^[13] University of Georgia law professor Diane Marie Amann also refuted Jarrett's assertion.^[14]

In February 2018, Jarrett asserted that he had a “highly reliable congressional source” which told him that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein “used the power of his office to threaten members of Congress”.^[9]

Jarret said Hillary should be investigated and Mueller investigation is a sham? Shocker!

[djohn2oo8]

So you don't know what it is.

Explain why Mueller is investigating Stone

Already did that.

Explain Stone's saying he had dinner with Assange in jest.

Explain Stone's saying he had dinner with Assange in jest.

That is a tall task for him seeing that he uses words he doesn't understand.

[spurraider21]

Jarret said Hillary should be investigated and Mueller investigation is a sham? Shocker!

he said she should be grand juried and the very next day said grand juries are undemocratic farces

[TSA]

Explain Stone's using it in jest.

You'll have to ask Stone that question.

Explain how Stone had dinner with Assange in Ecuador on the 3rd when he was on a flight from Los Angeles to Miami on the 3rd. Also explain how Stone managed to go to Ecuador without getting his passport stamped.

I haven't planted my flag on repeatedly saying there will be indictments. Given the riven corruption and incompetence that seems attracted to Trump, I would be surprised if none were forthcoming.

I, as always, prefer evidence, and modify my model of reality based on as objective a reading of available information as possible. I self-reflect all the time.

You however, pick yourself up out of the dungheap after falling face first, then leap to the next with both hands grasping. It is amusing.

You sure as picked up that flag and marched with the Trump/Russia election collusion conspiracy theory. When no indictments happen concerning Trump/Russia election collusion will you admit you taken a fool and pushed the DNC propaganda? What will that say about you?

Time to shut her down.

Rosenstein's memo cleary has other charges and allegations redacted. You're upset. Your world is crashing down. Not to mention the memo itself authorized Mueller to investigate Manafort for collusion.

djohn will your world come crashing down with it's revealed the redactions were all about Tony Podesta and Vin Weber?

================================================== ============================================

WASHINGTON (AP) — Special counsel Robert Mueller’s grand jury is investigating a prominent Democratic lobbyist and a former GOP congressman for their involvement in an influence campaign on behalf of Ukrainian interests tied to Paul Manafort, according to a person with direct knowledge of the investigation.

At the center of the widening probe are Tony Podesta, a longtime Democratic operative, and Vin Weber, a former GOP congressman and leader of his own high-powered lobbying firm, Mercury LLC. The two men were hired as part of a multimillion-dollar lobbying effort directed by Manafort and longtime associate Rick Gates.

With the emphasis on the Ukrainian lobbying efforts, Mueller’s criminal probe is moving beyond investigating ties between the Trump campaign and Russia and is aggressively pursuing people who worked as foreign agents without registering with the Justice Department. More witnesses are expected before the grand jury in coming weeks.

Representatives for Weber’s firm and Podesta said they are cooperating with the special counsel’s investigation. Podesta, whose brother was the chairman of Hillary Clinton’s campaign, has resigned from his firm.

FBI agents working for Mueller are asking witnesses about meetings between Gates, Podesta and Weber to discuss the lobbying work in detail and any communication with representatives of a pro-Russian Ukrainian political party, according to two people familiar with the interviews who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the investigation.

“There were questions about how much Podesta and Vin Weber were involved. There was a lot of interest there,” one of them said.

FBI agents also expressed interest in the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, which produced a 2012 report used to justify the jailing of an opposition politician in Ukraine.

Both people said that investigators on Mueller’s team have asked about what the lobbyists knew about the source of the funding and who was directing the work in 2012 — long before Manafort became Trump’s campaign chairman in 2016.

Gates and Manafort were both indicted Monday on charges of acting as unregistered foreign agents and lying on forms they filed with the Justice Department’s Foreign Agents Registration Act unit as well as money laundering.

According to Manafort’s indictment, he and Gates “engaged in weekly and at times daily calls and emails with (company 1 and company 2) to provide them directions as to specific lobbying steps that should be taken and to receive reports back as to the results of such lobbying.” The two firms were the Podesta Group and Mercury.

You haven't brought much to the table in terms of discussion.

You said I was avoiding talking about Roger Stone. I attempted to talk about Roger Stone with you and realized you had nothing to talk about.

That's the first question you have answered in weeks tbh.

You are being dishonest and that is especially disgraceful considering you said tbh. If I find a question of yours I answered in the last weeks will you permanently ban yourself yes or no?
