Roger Stone warns Trump's presidency is in peril
CNN Politics ^ | January 30, 2019 | Stephen Collinson

Roger Stone is known for hyperbole, but his latest graphic warning should worry Donald Trump.

The political trickster said Tuesday, a day he pleaded not guilty to seven charges laid by special counsel Robert Mueller, that Trump's presidency is in mortal peril because the Russia investigation amounts to a "speeding bullet heading for his head."

Stone's comment, to "Breitbart News Daily" on Sirius XM radio, added to soaring anticipation, fueled by a remark by acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker on Monday, that the probe could soon end with Mueller's final report.

And it raised the question of whether Trump's repeated claim of "no collusion" fired off in scores of tweets and comments to the press, is a sufficiently broad defense to the existential threat that Stone perceives from Mueller's work.

The indictment of Stone, Trump's longest serving political adviser, refocused attention on whether Trump and his team crossed legal and ethical lines during an effort to defeat Hillary Clinton in an election that featured a simultaneous Russian meddling operation.

The key question for Mueller has always been whether there was a criminal conspiracy by members of Trump's team to cooperate with Moscow's bid to make him President.

So far, he has offered no proof of such a bombshell finding, in a forest of indictments, court filings, one trial and convictions of people around the President in a probe that appears to be getting ever closer to the Oval Office.

If Mueller does establish such behavior, it would answer the puzzling question: Why have so many people around Trump -- at great costs to themselves -- repeatedly lied about ties to Russians?

I can remember when you had to go to “The Weekly World News” to get “journalism” of this caliber.

Steve Bannon once said that Trump has a 70% probability that he doesn’t finish his term.

"The President’s base will stick with him and hopefully the country will pay attention to the totalitarian rhetoric of the democrat candidates."

Because compared to Hillary anything the MSM dreams up about Trump makes us shake our heads and think, "What an amateur...."

This type of writing by CNN is called “wishful inking”.

Stone has made a living shooting off his mouth over things he knows little about.

President Trump’s new AG will appoint a 2nd special counsel but I doubt it. The deep state tentacles have a long reach.

William Barr is currently being vilified as extremely anti-gun by some 2nd amendment advocate organizations
