By hook or crook.
Republican consultant Roger Stone, a longtime adviser to President Trump, said that special counsel Robert Mueller is determined to topple President Trump.
“His target is undoing the results of the last election and removing this president,” he told the Washington Examiner. When asked if he thinks Trump would be forced out of the White House, Stone replied, “Well, certainly not on the basis of Russian collusion because I believe there is none.”
In an extended and profane tirade, Stone slammed former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen as the “single dumbest f–k” he’d ever met and “dumb as a box of rocks.”
Cohen has given more than 70 hours of testimony as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia collusion investigation. “Don’t you think he’s being used by his new attorney and by the Clintonistas as a bludgeon to attack Donald Trump? I mean, first of all, let me say on the record, he’s the single dumbest f–k I’ve ever met in my entire life. I mean, he’s as dumb as a box of rocks,” Stone told the Washington Examiner after his speech at the American Priority Conference on Thursday.
“I still don’t think he has any evidence of wrongdoing by the president. He wasn’t involved in the campaign. He wasn’t involved in the White House. I mean, I think at this point he’s composing,” he added. Stone argued that Cohen is “flipping” on Trump because of his rising personal legal fees.
“He’s flipping because he’s angry that the Trump family has not helped him with his enormous legal expenses, but he hired a law firm and he paid them $5 million to read all of his emails and review what they meant,” Stone told the Washington Examiner. “I mean, I have 1 million emails too, but I’m not paying anybody $5 million to read them.”
In January of next year, Sam Nunberg, a former political aide for Trump, is reportedly scheduled to meet with the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Investigators on Mueller’s team have already interviewed Nunberg.
