We told you Roger Stone was going down
Earlier this week Palmer Report laid out the case, based entirely on the publicly available evidence that was emerging, for why it had become clear that Roger Stone was going to be arrested in the Trump-Russia scandal. We didn’t think the dots were that difficult to connect, but some skeptics weren’t sure. Now, as of today, we have a new piece to the Stone puzzle that should leave little doubt whatsoever.
Sam Nunberg revealed on cable news this week that he’d been subpoenaed to testify against his pal Roger Stone in a Trump-Russia grand jury. Nunberg insisted that he would refuse to do so and that he was willing to get arrested over it. But the important part was that the grand jury against Stone exists, period. Grand juries nearly always return indictments, because the prosecutor only needs to meet the burden of demonstrating that a trial is warranted, and not any proof of guilt. This means that Roger Stone is going to be indicted.
Once a prosector has an indictment, one of two things happens. Either that person is arrested, or that person is given an opportunity to cut a plea deal in lieu of being hauled off. Roger Stone went on MSNBC and revealed that Robert Mueller hasn’t even so much as attempted to contact him or interview him. That told us that Mueller has no interest in cutting a preemptive deal with Stone. He’ll arrest Stone, and then maybe he’ll offer him a leniecy deal, maybe not. But either way, Stone is going down. That was further cemented today.
For all of Sam Nunberg’s bombastic insistence this week that he would never testify against his mentor Roger Stone, CNN says that Nunberg spent six hours testifying before the grand jury against Stone today. The most surefire way to take anyone down is to get their associates to reluctantly testify against them. Not only will Stone be indicted and arrested, his odds at trial just dropped significantly thanks to Nunberg. Stone is going down.
