He's technically right but that's just legal wonk. The DOJ could still bring additional indictments to Stone, or they might think the charges against Stone for conspiracy may not be strong enough for a grand jury but the obstruction and false statements are. Regardless it seems like he has a lot of lying to be accountable for.

And here's another sincere question. If Trump colluded with the Russians to get dirt on the Hilary campaign (and that's looking like less and less of a huge 'if'), how different is that, from the DOJ using the Clinton-funded Steele dossier to get FISA warrants on an American citizen?
You're comparing apples and tractor tires. Regardless the FISA warrant for Page was based on a lot of intel that had nothing to do with the Dossier. Even with that, there are no rules that state info like the Dossier can't be used for the warrant, it's up for the judge to decide, and 4 republican appointed federal judges agreed with the surveillance.
