'(Stone) remains a convicted felon, and rightly so,' Mueller said in a column published Saturday in The Washington Post.
Stone was the last person charged by the Mueller team during the nearly two-year Russia investigation.
"Stone became a central figure in our investigation for two key reasons: He communicated in 2016 with individuals known to us to be Russian intelligence officers, and he claimed advance knowledge of WikiLeaks’ release of emails stolen by those Russian intelligence officers," Mueller wrote. "The jury ultimately convicted Stone of obstruction of a congressional investigation, five counts of making false statements to Congress and tampering with a witness," Mueller wrote."Because his sentence has been commuted, he will not go to prison. But his conviction stands."
"We made every decision in Stone’s case, as in all our cases, based solely on the facts and the law and in accordance with the rule of law. The women and men who conducted these investigations and prosecutions acted with the highest integrity. Claims to the contrary are false," he said. "Unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president," Romney wrote on Twitter Saturday morning.Trump granted Stone clemency days before he was to report to a Georgia prison to begin serving his sentence.
