Reminder that Hillary’s top line message in 2016 was to

“build an economy that works for everyone not just those at the top”

but we always pretend that Hillary has no msg and then praise 2020 folks saying almost verbatim the same thing.

why no conspiracy

Why didn’t Mueller charge Stone with conspiracy? The rules in federal cases require that prosecutors provide defendants with broad discovery. By indicting Stone on a fairly narrow set of charges, Mueller limits what has to be disclosed & can protect ongoing investigation.
