## Resource

Roger Stone and Michael Caputo discuss their shared history as political advisors and their experiences as targets of the Russia investigation, which they characterize as a politically motivated "witch hunt" designed to destroy Donald Trump. The conversation centers on themes of accountability and justice, with both men describing the personal and legal hardships they faced during the Mueller probe, including Stone’s conviction and Caputo’s struggle with cancer. A significant portion of the dialogue is dedicated to criticizing Michael Cohen, whom they portray as a jealous and dishonest figure who provided false testimony to federal investigators. They further allege that the FBI used entrapment tactics, specifically citing a meeting with an informant named Henry Greenberg as an attempted setup by the government.
