From Politico...
“Credico was interviewed by former special counsel Robert Mueller's team on several occasions in 2018. He went on to appear at Stone's trial, which revealed a series of hostile and vulgar text messages Stone sent to Credico in an alleged effort to intimidate him into repeating Stone's version of events in testimony before Congress.
Although Stone has claimed his comments were in jest, prosecutors pointed to the messages to justify the bulk of his suggested prison time. "Prepare to die, cocksucker," Stone wrote to Credico in one instance. He also told Credico, who has a therapy dog, that he would "take that dog away from you."
Credico recently wrote to the court saying he did not think Stone was threatening him physically, but prosecutors noted that during the trial, Credico said he was concerned that Stone's statements could encourage others to become violent.”
You can lie to yourself WB but Stone didn’t send his threats as a joke to someone that was cooperating with an investigation and Credico was worried that others might carry out Stone’s threats. Barr shredded any credibility his DOJ had. It’s all about protecting Trump’s corruption.
