re: #261 lawhawk

Jacob Wohl’s dad has evidence or information that helps Stone? What exactly does he mean by volunteer?

These people are bugnuts insane.

Thing is that Mueller doesn’t need Stone to cut a deal. A deal just is expedient way to close out a case that is made based on the evidence Mueller gathered in the course of the ongoing investigations. Mueller doesn’t need Stone to turn on anyone. So, Stone doesn’t have any leverage here either. Stone may play like he’s done nothing wrong, but the indictments show otherwise.

stone is toast

from the NYT via politicalwire.com today

Yet there were also several indications that the probe may not be as near its conclusion as many observers assume — and that the true target of Friday’s F.B.I. actions was not Mr. Stone himself, but his electronic devices.”

and dailybeast yesterday

“This is as close to a slam-dunk case as a prosecutor will ever bring… Do not expect to see special counsel Robert Mueller make any attempt to flip Stone and have him cooperate. A defendant like Stone is far more trouble than he is worth to a prosecutor. Stone is too untrustworthy for a prosecutor to ever rely upon.”

“Mueller does not need Stone to get to someone else and, even if he did, he could not rely on whatever Stone told him. Stone has nothing to sell that Mueller would be interested in buying.”
