Roger Stone Is A Liar – Part 3
Roger Stone was on Meet The Press this morning attempting to thwart the effects of Mueller's tightening noose. It did not go so well.

Mueller Closing In On Trump/Russia Collusion
In a poorly named (by the PPH editorial team) op-ed to the Portland Press Herald last month, I said: "If The Times does not beat him to it with an inside scoop, I suspect there is one final Mueller report to come that officially confirms a Trump campaign-coordinated handoff of Russian-hacked DNC-Clinton emails from Russia … Continue reading Mueller Closing In On Trump/Russia Collusion

The New York Times, of course, is hyperventilating about the Michael Flynn news, because, well: Trump, Russia, Trump, Russia.
