Special counsel examines conflicting accounts as scrutiny of Roger Stone and WikiLeaks deepens
Washington Post ^ | Oct 21, 2018 | Carol Leonig

In recent weeks, a grand jury in Washington has listened to more than a dozen hours of testimony and FBI technicians have pored over gigabytes of electronic messages as part of the special counsel’s quest to solve one burning mystery: Did longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone — or any other associate of the president — have advance knowledge of WikiLeaks’ plans to release hacked Democratic emails in 2016?

While outwardly quiet for the last month, Robert S. Mueller III’s investigators have been aggressively pursuing leads behind the scenes about whether Stone was in communication with the online group, whose disclosures of emails believed to have been hacked by Russian operatives disrupted the 2016 presidential campaign, according to people familiar with the special counsel probe.

Yet more leaks from "impeccable" Mueller.

Mueller and his gang of corrupt prosecutors trying their best to influence the election by illegally leaking what little they have.

Including leaks of Grand Jury testimony.

I know Rod Rosenstein can see this, and I know that he must know where all these leaks are coming from.

If he really is a rule of law guy, he needs to act against this, and stop pretending that the Mueller operation is legitimate and independent.

RR is part of the original plot. He’s only trying to save his own skin.

If Mueller didn’t have an October surprise press release smear of some sort ready to go, I’d be surprised.

It certainly seems that way. I have no trust in the FBI now, and am increasingly thinking that the corruption in government is so deep such that it’s beyond our imagination.

Prof Ford has the complete details!

Once again. Not a shred of PROOF!

“I have no trust in the FBI now, and am increasingly thinking that the corruption in government is so deep such that it’s beyond our imagination.”

The whole FBI, and maybe the whole DOJ, needs to be torn down and rebuilt the way the Army was after Vietnam.

So what if Roger Stone did know. The charge is collusion with Russia. Putting aside no crime has been identified, Wikileaks isn’t Russia nor is knowing that they are going to leak things hacking or encouraging someone to hack.

They keep getting further and further from what they originally alleged until we are at the point of: “did you hear rumors that someone may do something in the way of publishing e-mails that may or may not have been hacked from the DNC?”

Who cares if anyone knew Wikileaks would leak? It’s not any sort of crime to know that.

They ignore the CONTENTS of the emails: that the DNC colluded with Hillary to rig the election... that Hillary used the DNC to launder millions in donation money to get around federal election laws...

And the Russians hacked nothing. The emails were handed to Wikileaks by Seth Rich because he was a Bernie Bro.

When Hillary & Company found out about it they had Seth murdered.

It’s looking like the left is going to have a multi-pronged attack for October. Between the border invasion, Muellar’s manufactured bombshell, and likely some scandal concerning Trump, and then throw in a stock market crash, the Democrats would rather have control of a destroyed America than have no control at all.

WaPo/Leonig - they are ok with all this garbage. they don’t care how many lives are ruined, simply because they campaigned for someone from outside the Deep State.

embarrassing.

Absolute Horse carp from the Washington ComPost.

The Russians did not leak the emails.

Just more ComDem Lies.

#8. You just did a psychoanalysis of Mueller’s mindset, aided and abetted by Rosenweasel and company.

If “Russian collusion” is not a crime, then knowing anything about WikiLeaks plans is also not a crime. The same for knowing if WL had or did not have any of Hillary’s/DNC emails even if they might been proved to WL by the Russians.

In other words, Mueller is full of shit as are his top aided.

Just wait till Carter Page’s lawyers start sending out Interrogatories, followed up by the most painful Depositions since the Inquisition.

That is going to be one “pleasure” to watch. And when Roger Stone gets through with Mueller and his criminal gang, the sale of Preparation H is going through the roof.

Revenge is sweet and Mueller deserves everything that is legally coming his way.

Mueller is spending billions draining another anthrax pond, looking at how so and so said what not, but no investigation is launched on the real collusion meantime.

Session must really be tainted somewhere to be so afraid of connections if such investigations came up with something.

No investigation should undermine the other. So why is the Mueller investigation allowed to impede an investigation into Obama/Hillary?

He basically did the same thing as Podesta, but for some reason this investigation should not be interfered with an investigation into Podesta...
