mueller s investigators, at this point, is your best defense to tell them i lied about everything? there s no record mueller s team brought stone in for questioning. instead indicting him for, yes, lies, alleging he corresponded with associates to get e-mails damaging to clinton. this is key. anyone can criticize stone, but mueller needs evidence. the indictment is built on evidence from two stone associates, person one and person two, who we can identify as the mueller witnesses, jerome and randy. mueller cites the two more dumps. was that collusion? of course he told his side here on the beat. you wrote to stone, quote, word is friend of the embassy plans two more. word is sounds like a reference to the word on the
roger stone indictment. i asked about the evidence mueller has about stone in the indictment. corsi, a one-time ally of stone said if i was going into a casino and mueller said he had the evidence, i d bet on mueller. i m joined by morgan who was embedded by stone and jason johnson from theroot.com. back with us, jill winebanks. jill, what do you think when you look at the stone associates and person one and person two and how much we learned in realtime now that mueller is charging. i believe mueller completely. the indictment is detailed and specific. it quotes from e-mails that make a very clear and compelling case there was coordination. there was a conspiracy to get these documents. we don t know that they originally stole the documents. there s no evidence of that. there s no allegation of that. they used them.
evidence, i think that you needed the fbi to go in unannounced because destruction of evidence. he might not flee. he may enjoy the attention he is getting. but, he s charming. he would not be above destroying the evidence. right. he knew there was evidence. you have to go in there without saying i m coming in tomorrow. right. we are going to bring in a member of the house intelligence. sam, thank you for coming on the beat on this breaking news day. many of the charges stone is facing relate to his testimony before this house intelligence committee in september, 2017. i am falsely accused of maki making false statements during my testimony to the house intelligence committee. that is incorrect. any error i made in my testimony would be both immaterial and without intent. lock him up! i will plead not guilty to
proquo and dirt on hillary clinton and the promise to reduce sanctions, the way prosecutors look at this is this is additional and furtherance of it. the trump team and others distanced themselves and didn t want their fingerprints on it. that s the way prosecutors look at this. it could be evidence of conscious guilt. they have the ability to send out e-mails and trump or a colleague could have called them and said why not get it out into the public. that could be consciousness of guilt or a con speernsy. i wonder what you think of the passage that mueller includes and emphasizes that stone wasn t just gossiping or
you? the only person i advocated a pardon for is marcus. i am one of his oldest friends. i m a supporter of the president. how much? consider the chair of donald trump s campaign, paul manafort, a former business manager of roger stone, has never spoken after his ensbitment, let alone praise trump on the court steps. manafort was back in court quietly. they tell a different story of anyone else charged by mueller. stone has seven counts on obstruction, lying, and witness tampering. the things he lied about and tried to obstruct and keep other witnesses from talking about tell a very powerful story. it s one that bob mueller wants you to know tonight. unlike any trump associate, the lies relate directly to e-mails that mueller says the russians stole. let me show you why this
