Hillary Clinton: "Trump Revealed The 1 Thing He's Fearful About With Roger Stone Clemency"

Hillary Clinton: Trump Revealed The 1 Thing He’s Fearful About With Roger Stone Clemency
Roger Stone was in the middle of it all,” she said. “And that’s why Trump had to cover it up.”

https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5f0d31f3c5b648c301eea9ed/amp


It’s to block the one thing he fears most
.

Stone was convicted last year on seven counts related to the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, including witness tampering, lying to Congress and obstruction. But last week, Trump commuted Stone’s 40-month sentence.

It’s a continuation of the cover-up,” Clinton said on “The Daily Show” on Monday. “Because the one thing that Trump is fearful of when it comes to his being president is that finally we will see how illegitimate his victory actually was.

Clinton said that Trump fears that people will see that he was involved in the effort to obtain and use foreign help to win the presidency, and Stone, she said, was critical to that effort.
---------

And THIS is the reason for Barr's firing of the prosecutors as well.
To cover-up the massive international & criminally orchestrated illegitimacy of Trump's election.

The coordination of the campaign with the Russians, which is what Mueller should have been able to prove, was Trump to Stone, to Assange, to Putin, to Assange, to Stone, and back to Trump.

11. "Russia, If You're Listening..." Trump Asked For Russian Help Right Out in the Open
Tue Jul 14, 2020, 01:20 PM
Jul 2020

Within five hours, Russia obliged. Really, that nails it right there - all the rest is merely details and minutiae. It's really not that hard to conclude that someone who has lied and cheated all his life would try to lie and cheat his way into the White House in an illegitimate win. But this POS Donald Trump has such a hold over so many voters in this country that they refuse to see the obvious unless they see every little dot connected as well. Trump, being a liar and a cheat all his life who never got anything legitimately, is now deathly afraid of being seen as illegitimate - it's like he's deathly afraid of his own f-ing shadow.

That's always Trump's plan. "Don't look over here, look over there!" which gives him room to cheat.

to go along with the more realistic reasons for the commutation.

That is, I believe that Trump needed Stone to be his campaign manager - albeit behind the scenes, but in my CT it will be Stone calling the shots, not who we're told it is.

Trump can only fight dirty at this point with literally nothing whatsoever to actually run for a second term on, and Stone is the King of Filth - running the campaign from a prison cell would have been impossible...so, commutation.

Even when the press & social media was pushing hard & relentless against her, she sounded the alarm for her country.

That is the shame they all carry forward.
How we got here is on their shoulders.

The demise of America will never be hers to carry.
She did her part to save it.

We will forever know who eagerly took part in the slow death of America.

And it wasn't Hillary Clinton!

Much of what Biden proposes to advance America into the future was a part of her policy platform.
She was indeed ahead of her time but spot on with her vision, on many fronts.
Media should have listened to her. We would have been spared the condition of our country we live with today.

Proud he stepped in & grabbed back that torch..thank you VP Biden.💙

The only solace I have that Hillary didn't get the Electoral College vote is that she did not have to endure the multiple upon multiple investigations that the Republicans had prepared in advance.

Want to talk about a witch hunt. There would have been several. Unlike Donald, she would have complied with subpoenas, and House/Senate Committee hearings. Unlike Donald, she has nothing to hide or which to be fearful.

I've often thought that many in the GOP were unhappy Donald won because of their disappointment in not being able to harass Hillary. They worked hard to put their investigations together. I forget who it was that said they had 5 years worth of investigations, meaning it would go on into her second term. Assholes!

Anyway, that's my only solace.
