Republican operative Roger Stone was found guilty on Friday of all seven counts against him, including witness tampering, making false statements and lying to Congress.
The colorful trial lasted for nearly two weeks and featured references to “The Godfather Part II,” threats of dognapping, complaints of food poisoning and a gag order.
Prosecutors portrayed Stone, 67, as a serial liar who tried to bully witnesses into not cooperating with authorities. They charged Stone with making false statements, obstruction and witness tampering.
The case was one of the offshoots of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation and the last one referred to federal prosecutors before his investigation ended.
Sounds like the typical political "handler" to me. It is all a normal part of politics.
Sad but true.
Washington was against political parties and he was dead on right.
