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?

The special counsel was designed to take down the President. Mueller will cite the President as an un-indicted co-conspirator and make claims of obstruction of justice and conspiracy. Mueller will claim that he cannot indict the President but that there is evidence that is indictable.

The New York lead investigation will conclude prior to the 2020 election and claim that the President has committed a variety of crimes to include tax evasion and conspiracy.

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

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

Two clues to the validity of this story: 1 - it’s CNN, 2 - it’s CNN.

No shiite Sherlock, it’s been in peril since before Inauguration Day.

Neither party wants us to stop the illegal alien inundation.
They are doing their best to block President Trump.

This is such a stupid comment; such a joke!

How?

What was the "bid" CNN?

Even Obama said there was no way, no how, for the Russians to cause the election to go one way or the other.

50 SEPARATE state elections.

Hillary didn't even go to Wisconsin as she THOUGHT it was in the bag.

Calling half the country deplorables.

The idea that the Russians affected the election outcome in ANY way is just...

Preposterous.

As long as Americans still have the Second Amendment, President Trump will be fine. There will be blood.
