Why Trump's denials about his Roger Stone involvement are meaningless
President Donald Trump denied Tuesday afternoon that he had anything to do with the Justice Department's decision to reconsider its sentencing guidelines for onetime Trump adviser Roger Stone, a move that led to the withdrawal of all four federal prosecutors involved in the case.
"I stay out of things to a degree that people wouldn't believe," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, adding of DOJ: "I did not speak to them."
Buuuuuut, here's the thing: Trump did send a tweet on Monday night that made very clear what he thought about Stone's sentencing. (Stone was convicted of seven counts related to his involvement in Russia's attempt to meddle in the 2016 election.)
"This is a horrible and very unfair situation," wrote Trump. "The real crimes were on the other side, as nothing happens to them. Cannot allow this miscarriage of justice."
