Stan Twardy appeared on the RNN-TV program "Richard French Live," a nightly news talk show. The segment focuses special counsel Robert Mueller's report on his inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Twardy first discussed the issue of obstruction of justice and the lack of evidence to prove the matter criminally. Regarding the legitimacy of the investigation itself, he commented it was in fact warranted under the circumstances.
Further, Twardy pointed out that in Mueller's report, the findings show there was Russian involvement in the election, both in terms of the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and social media. Regarding the release of the complete report, Twardy's view is that most of the report will be released but noted there will be restrictions in that certain information may endanger other pending investigations and intelligence sources will stay sacrosanct.
A white collar partner at Day Pitney LLP, Twardy is a former federal prosecutor, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut under Presidents Reagan and Bush and Chief of Staff to Connecticut Governor Lowell P. Weicker, Jr.
