Robert Mueller is getting stoned. Not in any corporeal sense, I hasten to note. Rather, his investigation appears to be focusing on any ties that the Trump campaign may have had to the voluble former Nixon operative Roger Stone. Like Michael Cohen, who once proclaimed that he would take a bullet for Donald Trump, Stone is now noisily professing his loyalty to the president. ‘The special counsel pokes into every aspect of my social, family, personal, business and political life, seeking something — anything — he can use to pressure me, to silence me and to try to induce me to testify against my friend Donald Trump,’ Stone declared in a recent video. ‘This I will not do. When I say I won’t roll on the president, what I mean is I will not be forced to make up lies to bring him down.’ But will he prove any more loyal than Cohen, or, for that matter, his old chum Paul Manafort, if faced with a few years in the hoosegow?
Manafort has been reduced to a wheelchair, quite a comedown from the days when he strolled around Washington in pricey bespoke Italian habiliments. Stone, like Manafort, is a devotee of bespoke attire, though he seems to favour English clothing — specifically, the venerable masters of the drape cut, Anderson & Sheppard — which may come as something of a relief to readers of The Spectator. My guess is that if anything might persuade Stone to crack, it would be the prospect of having to exchange his fancy duds for prison garb

Mueller's only tactic is to find people who worked with Trump and harass them and accuse them of process crimes. He then tries to bankrupt them with legal fees and destroy their lives.
He then tries to get them to make up fraudulent charges against President Trump.
This prevents people from being willing to work with the president. It also pressures them to making up false charges.
Mueller's recent target is Roger Stone.
He wants to destroy Roger Stone, ruin his life and send him to prison on false charges.
Roger Stone is not a young man. Will Mueller be able to destroy him? Will Mueller be able to get him to turn on president Trump.
Roger Stone is 66 and not in the best of health. Mueller and his pack of mangy dogs do not scare him one bit..................
Stone has always marched to a different drummer, I don’t think he is predictable.
This bastard Mueller needs to be fired, prosecuted and imprisoned.
A corrupt phoney.
I mean if there was Russian collusion, Roger Stone was the point man for it. He’s obviously the next target, right after the election.
I notice no one here has given Mueller any credit for going silent after Labor Day. I think some props are in order.
No, Stone will not crack.
As we all know, you can’t beat stone with scissors, you have to wrap it in paper, which is what Mueller is trying to do.
But he will not crack.
How can he crack him if there was no collusion? The article seems to think that Stone is guilty of something?
There is no there there. Does Mueller want him to compose?
Perhaps they expect him to confess to something that he is not guilty of.
I don’t trust Mueller not to do something right before the election. We will see.
After the election, whatever happens, he needs to be gone.
What piece of information would Stone have that he would “crack” about?
Mueller is playing with all our heads. What a hateful person.
Stone is the dirtiest player in the game. Mueller has to ask if he REALLY wants to mess with Stone. My guess is that Stone will probably leak his files on Mueller.
Mueller needs to suffer the same way he’s forced innocent people to suffer. What goes around, comes around...sooner or later. His day is coming.
Just wait...I don’t trust him as far as I could throw Hillary.
The obvious desperation (and lack of leaks) shows Mueller and the Deep state has squat, bupkus, nada.
F’em.

The sooner the better.
Wow! I guess Nixon is really in trouble now!
Michael Cohen is a unique case.
Apparently, he borrowed tens of millions using NY taxi cab medallions as collateral - which were worth as much as $1.3 million apiece at the time. Then along comes Uber and Lift, driving the medallions’ market value down to 1/12th of their former value.
He was in so much financial trouble he resort to some outright white collar crime (I don’t know the specifics) and got caught when the FBI raided his offices.
So, while it may be unfair that his association with Trump made him a target, they seem to have him dead to rights.
Meanwhile, they expose recordings of his conversations with Trump that suggest he was prepared to betray or blackmail Trump if need be - so a Presidential pardon from Trump is probably off the table. It’s no wonder he’s trying to cozy up to whomever is the next Democrat president.
Cohen is a first rate sleaze.
I don’t think Manafort or Stone are in the same (low) class. While it is very likely that there will be the usual allegations of money laundering, tax evasions, etc., and perhaps even convictions, it is also likely that any convictions will be arguably tainted by political motivation - and therefore deserving of presidential pardons.
Mueller will accuse him of a process crime and threaten him with years in prison.
Mueller will threaten to bankrupt him with legal fees.
Mueller will then offer him a deal if he makes up false charges against Trump.
