WASHINGTON — The conviction of Roger Stone Friday on seven felony counts of lying to Congress, obstruction and witness tampering represents a capstone to special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, establishing that one of President Trump’s longtime political advisers did everything he could to conceal the truth from congressional investigators.
“I hate to see the guy go to jail because of me,” Credico said in a phone interview minutes after the verdict. “I feel horrible that this happened. This is not a day to rejoice.” “Those threats about my dog were not anything I took seriously,” Credico said. “I only put [the emails and texts] out there as a brushback pitch….This was a fender bender that spun into a 21 pile up. All he had to do was tell the truth and this would not have spun out of control.”
But the verdict — which is likely to lead to a prison term for Stone when he is sentenced next Feb. 6 — is unlikely to settle the question of whether Stone or anybody else in the campaign actually coordinated with WikiLeaks or the Russian government during the 2016 campaign.

Roger Stone jurors reach no verdict after first day of deliberationsThe only indication of how the jury was leaning came via two notes passed to the judge expressing confusion about ambiguous language in the charges. Sounds like the House yesterday trying to appear to have a 'impeachment hearing'. Nothing......... How can this complete criminal be not responsible for his charges against him how as he intimidated these jurors gailgirl66 Man. Here I figured he’d get 6 months. He’ll probably walk away or get 6 hours.
