- The special counsel’s office reportedly interviewed former White House strategist Steve Bannon on Friday.
- Mueller’s team asked Bannon about any contacts between Roger Stone and the Trump campaign, according to The Washington Post.
- The report indicates that Mueller is speeding up his investigation of Stone.
The special counsel’s office interviewed former White House strategist Steve Bannon for the second time on Friday, this time about any interactions between the Trump campaign and Roger Stone, according to a report.
The interview with Bannon, first reported by The Washington Post, is the latest indication that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is speeding up an investigation into Stone.
Mueller and his team are interested in finding out whether Stone, a longtime friend of President Donald Trump’s, had advance knowledge of WikiLeaks’ plans to release emails stolen from the DNC and Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.
Stone has denied wrongdoing and claims he did not know about email hacks before they occurred. He has also denied having direct contact with Wikileaks or its founder, Julian Assange.
Mueller indicted 12 Russian nationals on July 13 who were allegedly involved in hacking the emails and disseminating them through WikiLeaks.
“Mueller’s team has been very professional and courteous,” Bannon told The Post. “Out of respect for the process, I will not discuss my interviews with them, but people shouldn’t believe everything they read.”
The former Breitbart News chairman did not respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
The prosecutors from the special counsel’s office previously met with Bannon for more than 20 hours in February and was reportedly interviewed at length about Trump’s decision to fire James Comey as FBI director. In addition to investigating whether the campaign colluded with Russians, Mueller is investigating whether Trump obstructed justice by firing Comey.
Mueller’s focus on Stone has been apparent for months. At least several associates of the Republican political operative have been interviewed or subpoenaed by Mueller.
Stone’s former social media adviser, Jason Sullivan, told The Wall Street Journal that Mueller’s team contacted his attorneys in recent days following up on questions about whether he had any information regarding Stone’s contacts with Wikileaks.
Sullivan, who appeared before a grand jury on June 1, said that Mueller’s team appears focused “pretty much fixed” on investigating whether Stone cooperated with Assange.
“They keep asking me in 100 different ways, did you ever hear anything at any point?” Sullivan told The Journal.
Stone, who has known Trump for nearly four decades, claimed during the campaign to have had contact with Assange, who lives under asylum at the Ecuadoran embassy in London.
Stone has backed away from those claims since ending up on the radar of investigators. He has said he had no advance knowledge of the hacks and that he heard of plans to release the documents through intermediaries.
Stone claims he was told of Assange’s plans by Randy Credico, a left-leaning comedian who had contact with Assange during the campaign.
Stone also recently provided The Daily Caller with an email he received on July 25, 2016, that he says was the source for some of his claims about forthcoming releases of Clinton-related documents.
Soon after receiving that email, Stone began claiming publicly that he had knowledge of Assange’s plans.
WikiLeaks has denied ever meeting with Stone or coordinating with him.
Why have they allowed this Master Criminal, along with all the other criminal players in this illegal investigation to continue? After all we know regarding their deception with the FISA COURT, commonsense dictates that these characters are the ones who should be investigated because they are all clearly guilty. Obama, Hillary, Holder, Lynch, Comey, Mueller, Rosenstein, Clapper, Podesta and the list goes on and on because there are so many DEEP STATE ACTORS involved there’s just not enough room to list them all here. Uranium One is the real Russian Collusion story. Needless to say, these are the people who have made themselves the enemy of this nation and its people.
Just a quick mention about the Central Bankers, The Federal Reserve and the Globalist Elite, they are all serious traitors to this nation. Together they’re as big a criminal enterprise as you could possibly imagine they are. Wars, Refugee Migration, Economic Manipulation, Banker Bailouts, Currency Control and Debt Slavery to the Fed. These are the real puppeteers controlling the worlds political institutions and governmental finances and they could care less who they destroy in the process

Proof of Mueller being on a witch hunt to destroy President Trump is the fact that he is not investigating the real colluders (Hillary Clinton and Podesta). It would be nice if we had an honest media, so all of this would come out. But that will never happen because the media are all left-wing socialists who are out to destroy President Trump. Hope everyone voted all “Red” this election cycle as I voted “absentee” and it was solid red.

This has gone on long enouigh. If Mueller doesn’t have anything by now, he’s just dragging it out to get richer. His hate for Trump is quite evident. Close him down now!!!!

They were Indicted because he knew Russia wouldn’t allow their return to America.

Looks like Mueller is part of the political game.
Can’t this John Kerry look-alike finish this fishing expedition in two years—It should have taken six weeks—with his squandering of our money—It must be near 20 million— with no results about Trump collusion. It’s like he’s found his calling in life—a permanent career position. I say there should be term limits for this fiasco. Let lawyers of all stripes run for this position every four years.

Immediately right after the midterms Donald should fire Sessions, Rosenstein, and Wray. Replace Sessions with a real AG. That real AG can then fire Mueller. End of this BS. Let the imbeciles on the left stamp their feet and bite their fingernails. Actually nothing can be done to the president as he has the authority to hire and fire whomever he wants in the Executive Branch. Ba Bye worthless ones.

According to the Müeller Inquisition, Trump is not the target. That is if you trust a prosecutor that convicted Louie Greco, Henry Tameleo, Peter Limone and Joe Salvati (2, Louie Greco, Henry Tameleo, died in prison and cost the taxpayers an eventual settlement of more than $100 million for false imprisonment) he knew they were innocent. Looks like he’s at it again.
How many more Millions this worthless Democrat going to waste! They said once was allowed 12 Million Dollars for What? Now they say he has wasted over 14 Million for nothing! Sex crimes against him? Was it dogs?
