Here comes that long awaited new Trump-Russia evidence against Roger Stone
When the week began, Palmer Report noted that – after months of underreported Trump-Russia grand jury proceedings against Roger Stone – the mainstream media was suddenly taking a keen interest in the matter. This was despite the fact that nothing new was being reported about the case. We asked if the mainstream media had been tipped off to imminent developments and was softening up the ground in the mean time. Now we’re indeed seeing those developments.
Back in January, Roger Stone was plotting to convince Donald Trump to pardon WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. This is according to text messages that Stone sent in January to his former friend Randy Credico. These text messages were just now uncovered by Mother Jones. So where does this get us?
Trying to secure a pardon for someone is not a crime in and of itself. But there is a legal argument to be made that if you’ve already conspired with someone to commit a crime, and then you try to get that person pardoned in an attempt at preventing that person from flipping on you, then you’re committed obstruction of justice. It’s worth pointing out Stone has since accused Credico of being his WikiLeaks go-between, which Credico denies. Stone also threatened the safety of Credico and his dog if he testified against Stone, but Credico recently testified anyway.
The upshot here is that, because Randy Credico has already testified before the grand jury, Special Counsel Robert Mueller already knows what transpired. This revelation about a Julian Assange pardon is news to us, but it’s not news to Mueller. What stands out instead is that the details are now finally surfacing publicly, which is often a sign that the grand jury is complete, and that the indictment and arrest are imminent. Stay tuned.
