A newly freed Roger Stone is a walking reminder of the president’s perversion of the U.S. justice system
To understand this, it’s necessary to go back to one of the lingering mysteries of the 2016 campaign: What did Trump and his campaign aides know about WikiLeaks’ release of stolen Democratic emails, and when did they know it? An early adviser to Trump’s campaign, Stone later became an intermediary of sorts between the campaign and WikiLeaks.
Mueller’s final report says that it’s possible Trump no longer remembered his interactions with Stone, but his answers “could also be viewed as reflecting his awareness that Stone could provide evidence that would run counter to the President’s denials and would link the President to Stone’s efforts to reach out to WikiLeaks.” In other words, there was good reason to believe Trump had lied to them — and the person who could prove it was Roger Stone.
