Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, former DNC Chief and controversial political figure, blasted Roger Stone last week over his indictment and arrest.

At the end of last week, she spoke at an event in Miami, Florida, and she explained that “the Mueller indictment really clearly shows that the funnel is narrowing and the cinch is tightening around the necks and getting closer and closer to the highest levels of the Trump campaign."

Stone, a longtime friend and confidante to President Trump, maintains his innocence and has continued to blast the “Fake News” media over pushing stories that are biased or altogether not true.

Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz went on to assert the involvement of Russia in the 2016 Presidential election, saying that “this is the clearest evidence yet and most specific arrow pointing directly at the highest levels of the Trump campaign that they colluded with Russia to elect Donald Trump. This is why we needed the Mueller investigation and needed to continue to work its work through the process because we must get to the bottom of how Russia got fully involved in influencing the outcome of the election.”

She further explained that because of Russia’s involvement, “I certainly was the victim of that, as well as my staff, and the people of the United States of America.”

During the election, on the eve of the Democratic National Convention, Wikileaks released a series of private emails obtained targeting several Democratic Party members, and it forced the congresswoman to resign as party chair after it was implied that a move within the party was being orchestrated to give the nomination to Hillary Clinton.

The Congresswoman noted, "The Mueller indictment shows that Roger Stone, at the direction of senior Trump campaign officials, willingly weaponized information stolen by WikiLeaks on behalf of Russia to help Donald Trump get elected President."
