The political lies about Trump /Russian collusion is what drove the Congressional inquires and public demand for the scalp of anyone associated with Trump. Democrats across the board hammered on the lies for years.
Stone was convicted of obstructing Congress' investigation of something that the Dems lied weekly that they had "evidence in plain sight" of events and actions that DID NOT OCCUR . . . Now we know they knew they did not occur and that they said so under oath (which Schiff kept under lock and key in the Democrat hoax vault until Grenell pried it loose).
