Russian Probe
This had put Stone in the limelight since the exposing of emails was part of the issue regarding the Russian probe.
Shortly after the election was finished Trump wanted an inquiry into the claims made against Hillary Clinton.
It wasn’t long before those close to Trump were facing the gauntlet as well. Claims arose that embers of Trump’s cabinet met with Russians.
This saw the entrance of Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Almost one year later the probe still continued with many casualties along the way.
Stone made himself a target by what he said and even if what he claimed before was a joke, there would be a thorough investigation into the matter.
Anything related to Russian interference would certainly be assessed fully. There was a dire need to see this inquiry come to an end.
At this time the results seemed far from what investigators seek, whatever the motive may be, if any it was a long way from being finished.
