What impresses me about the Mueller investigation is the change in the person being interviewed after the session.
Every person that has been interviewed by the Mueller investigation becomes a far more humble person after their interview. That has been true with all the "Trump Tough Guys," including Paul Manafort. It seems to me these folks have some kind of public/business image to protect and project their best tough guy image at the beginning of their involvement with the Mueller team. After their interview their posture changes and they realize they have been playing with their citizenship in the USA in a way that endangers the country.
Most Americans, with the exception of the members of the US Military, take their citizenship for granted. The USA is a great country. Most Americans don't realize how incredible a country it is when it comes to the rights of it's citizens. That is not to say the USA is exceptional in that reality, most of our allies have similar, if not equal to, freedoms in their country. That reality in many ways is ensured by our military as well. But, when it comes to confronting "the law" it is a real eye-opener. I think that is especially true with the wealthy.
Americans can accumulate wealth without question or exception. That can blind an American to the day to day struggle experienced by so many others. That is their right. It is their right to be comfortable and distant. But, when something becomes evident they have violated a law of one kind or another and take their guilt lightly, there is an awakening that is more than interesting when it finally hits home.
One by one the interviewees of the "Donald Scandals," including those of Southern New York, have their moments when the reality is faced after their lawyers' state everything they can do has been done. The most recent scandal is surfacing with Roger Stone. He is belligerent and hiding in the corner behind lawyers so it will be interesting to realize he may also have that full reality of the weight of "the law" once he faces his interview.
I have no doubt the interview is something to be feared. It is probably very weighty and the reality of it while within it can be alarming.
Read the emails:
November 1, 2018
By Michael S. Schmidt, Mark Mazzetti, Maggie Haberman and Sharon LaFraniere
Newly revealed messages (click here) show how the political operative Roger J. Stone Jr. sold himself to Trump campaign advisers as a potential conduit to WikiLeaks, which published thousands of emails in 2016 damaging to Hillary Clinton’s campaign....
Roger Stone came forward. No one solicited his services. Why? Why would he come forward with an agenda that was to assault the political process of the USA? Why, Russia? I find that an overwhelming character of this investigation, these folks were involved deeply with communists. Why?
