Roger Stone, a longtime adviser and confidant to Donald Trump who has been named in news reports as one of at least four individuals under FBI observation over alleged contacts with Russian intelligence, has called for an official inquiry into the swirling crisis.

Stone has called on the White House to order an immediate investigation through the Department of Justice over alleged improper links between members of the Trump inner circle and the Kremlin during the course of the 2016 presidential campaign. His request adds to a mounting chorus of demands from senior congressional members and outside advocacy groups for an official inquiry into the affair.

In an interview with the Guardian, Stone appealed to Trump, whom he has been close to for almost 40 years, to convene an inquiry through Jeff Sessions, the newly appointed US attorney general. “The president should tell his attorney general that either he finds proof of this, or he puts it to bed and announces none of it happened.”

The crisis of Russian contacts is threatening to derail the Trump administration within its first month. On Monday, the president’s national security adviser, Michael Flynn, was forced to resign over secret discussions with the Russian ambassador to Washington.

1. "...convene an inquiry through Jeff Sessions."

[global1]

3. Whitewash - Sweep It Under The Rug.....

nothing to see here. Move on!!!!!!

[50 Shades Of Blue]

9. Exactly!

[BannonsLiver]

2. Fuck you, Roger

[Qutzupalotl]

4. ...he said, knowing the AG is hyperpartisan and willing to whitewash.

I'd be more impressed if Stone called for an independent investigation.

[Lint Head]

5. Stone is guilty as HELL. He wants a white wash because he's cowering in the dark corner where

vermin and roaches hide.

[anneboleyn]

6. They are trying DESPERATELY to blame "leaks" while ignoring the treasonous behavior of

the Trump team, which is obviously a much, much bigger issue. It seems that the intel community think Trump is a threat to national security, and that is fucking scary. Roger Stone has a massive tattoo of Nixon on his back (I am not joking)

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Leaks Of Wrongdoing Do Not Excuse The Wrongdoing

That's why is such a stupid defense. If these things happened, it doesn't matter how everybody found it. The leaks are only a problem for the wrongdoers because then they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar. But, it doesn't defend the illicit behavior.

7. The DOJ?

......... .........

[Freethinker65]

8. Hahahaha. Stone wants Sessions in charge. I wonder why???

[NCjack]

10. Lock'em up. Trump and Stone in same cell. nt

[kentuck]

11. Roger is waving from afar...

"Hey guys! I'm willing to cooperate!"

[SticksnStones]

12. This is the same roger stone who has a rather large tattoo of Nixon on his back?

That guy wants to be voice of rooting out leaks?


Yeah, uh huh, nope.

[anneboleyn]

15. That guy. He also did an interview in The Russian Tea Room (in NY) for the Showtime documentary

about the election ("Trumped&quot -- during which he was dressed like a 1920s Capone-like gangster and played cute about the wikileaks/Russian connections (while of course acting like he knew nothing at all about it...). The Russian Tea Room? Of all the restaurants in New York?

[SticksnStones]

18. Haha. Didn't know that!

What a ginormous piece of work.

[suffragette]

13. "Puts it to bed." That's all Stone wants, is to have the appearance of an investigation and make

it harder to have a genuine full investigation of the extent of collusion.

[blm]

14. IOW - Stone is counting on Sessions to sweep it all under the rug for him and the WH.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

16. Syphilitic pedophile Roger Stone? nt

[Cognitive_Resonance]

17. Sounds like an admission of guilt. nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

20. Oh, Roger, Roger, Roger. You not-so-sly fox, you.

Sure, have an investigation of you and your friends cavorting with Russia during and after the election. Just make sure it's Jeff Sessions conducting the investigation and not anyone who might not have a conflict of interest.

Roger, I mean this in the nicest way possible.....go fuck yourself, you sleazy traitor.
