roger stone has not been, to our knowledge, interviewed by mueller s team at all. and that can indicate, right, you talked to a target last, right? yes. it doesn t mean that, but what does it tell you? it tells me first of all that stone may be refusing to talk. lawyers representing roger stone and he is a target, it is generally not a good idea to put a target in front of the prosecutor at this late stage in the investigation because you may be giving away things that will incriminate you. so that s one possibility. but of course we re speculating here. it s really hard to say. we don t know. this is always reading tea leafs because i say the mueller investigation is a black box. but based on what you re seeing here and still talking to bannon, has not sat down with stone. is this evidence that the probe is coming to an end or that he still has work to do?
and being president, you are better tan me, because i don t have those powers of packingation. you make this point in the article the mind is brought up short before one can get to the common factual of a tape leaking a barack obama saying, you grab them by the, you let them do them because are you are a star. he would never. i mean, c mon. it s not even possible. you know what i mean? it s is notion that, oh. to get back to those voters and mode tell minds of those orders for me, that s the thing, right? people want to say, but they voted for a plaque man. they did it. racism isn t global. it doesn t mean that, you know, in all cases i will go for the white person. that s no what it means. it doesn t mean that in no case can no black person ever convince me of anything. it s like giving ice to somebody, which is difficult. it isn t what you want to hear from any plaque person. entirely despottic on the
randomly look on twitter on any day and say, what would happen if barack obama had said that? just ask yourself. if you can construct a world in which barack obama can get away with saying all of those things and being president, you are better tan me, because i don t have those powers of packingation. you make this point in the article the mind is brought up short before one can get to the common factual of a tape leaking a barack obama saying, you grab them by the, you let them do them because are you are a star. he would never. i mean, c mon. it s not even possible. you know what i mean? it s is notion that, oh. to get back to those voters and mode tell minds of those orders for me, that s the thing, right? people want to say, but they voted for a plaque man. they did it. racism isn t global. it doesn t mean that, you know, in all cases i will go for the white person. that s no what it means. it doesn t mean that in no case can no black person ever convince me of any
