Closing arguments in Roger Stone's case provided an opportunity for prosecutors to remind the jury of evidence they said proved that Stone had lied to Congress in September 2017

Prosecutor Jonathan Kravis, who delivered a closing argument for the prosecution, told the jury that if the truth about Stone's activities on Trump's behalf had come out in 2016,"it would look terrible." Emails and texts showed, Kravis said, that Stone sought to learn about documents that WikiLeaks had that could help Trump and spoke to the Trump campaign about it.

"The committee never saw that evidence, and so the committee's report is not accurate." Stone testified to the House Intelligence Committee in September 2017. The charges in this case against him focus on that testimony and on his interactions with another of his associates, Randy Credico, whom he allegedly threatened in an attempt to coerce him to lie to Congress.

Truth matter, Truth matters. When our politicians lie, is that not a misrepresentation? Ant company that misrepresents it’s self is penalized. So should it be with ALL politicians. Representing America and her people the truth matters

I would lie to this Congress in a heartbeat. The most corrupt and evil group of people ever to hold office. Zero respect for them.
