Mueller IIIs Russia investigation Friday, asking a federal judge to dismiss Stones indictment for lying to Congress and obstructing justice and to order that Stone receive a full unredacted copy of Muellers recently completed report.
No other person, Committee, or entity has Stones constitutionally based standing to demand the complete, unredacted Report, Stones attorneys argued on behalf of the longtime confidant of President Trump. Only then can he determine whether the Report contains material which could be critical to his defense, or if he was selectively prosecuted, they wrote in a series of motions.
Prosecutors have until May 3 to answer Stones flurry of legal objections, typical at this stage of a criminal trial, and which included challenges to the funding of Muellers office and to Muellers authorization as special counsel an objection courts have rejected several times when raised previously by other defendants in Muellers probe.

Of course his lawyers are trying everything they can think of.

Roger Stone can see the unredacted Mueller report, but Congress is not allowed to see it? What's wrong with this picture?

(25,250 posts)6. The House Judiciary Committee is also asking for the uncensored Mueller report
I wouldn't put it past the Coverup General to give it to Stone but not those charged with bringing tRUmp to account.
