Roger Stone arrest will turn out to be a major turning point I expect. It may lead to evidence that Seth Rich, and not the Russians, was the source of the leaked Podesta emails. That is what Assange said at the time of Rich's death.

Seth Rich?

Conspiracy theorists are still flogging that decaying equine?

His family has asked the wack-a-doodle-doos to stop this crap repeatedly.

Ummm, I believe Assange may be another arrest, and soon, and deservedly so! Every week, "next week i will release info that will bury Hillary".....for How many weeks straight? And....nothing.........

The Shits getting real.

He did the Nixon double deuce sky point when he walked out after making the 250K bail.

I heard today that he has a tattoo of Nixon on his back.
But I haven't confirmed this.

It's a Tramp Stamp.
I just made that up.
But we could repeat it ceaselessly, because hat would be fun.

Surprise, surprise, surprise!

He, his wife and the neighbors were.

Oh happy day

I did the best happy dance I could do while seated.

Trump will soon be hiding under his bed.

That would have to be a very tall bed.

And Huckasanders is on CNN, right now, lying about it.
The woman is absolutely shameless with her lying.

It appears that lying is the only thing she's good at. Her lies are all bullshit, but boy can she throw those lies out there!!!

@Redheadedgammy She's really not that good at it. Just like with 45, you can always tell when she's lying. Her lips are moving.
I can't even get through a soundbite without picking out at least 3 lies, from either of them.

@KKGator Yes, we know this, but "the base" loves her and believes everything out of her mouth. She will be gone soon, and hopefully we won't ever have to see or hear from her again.

@TheAstroChuck Of course, you may. It's an old line, and I do not claim ownership.

the f ing Huckabitch. Lies and stupidity. Was it yesterday or the day before...……….let god decide about global warming, Sure, all humans will die a horrible death. But hey, it is god's will.

@Beowulfsfriend She's vile. Another one for the volcano.

At least it was entertaining to watch Sean Spicer squirm every day.
That man was the worst liar I have ever seen.

@BufftonBeotch I found Spicer every bit as appalling as I do his replacement, and every other member of that "administration".
He was just another obsequious little toady. No better than any of
the rest of that nest of vipers.

Blindfold and cigarette next hopefully!

That's the fate treason used to earn you.

The Rosenberg's got the electric chair for being traitors and there was actually NO evidence that they had done so.

They were executed because Roy Cohn hated liberals and wanted to kill them.

But what will he wear for his arraignment??

tar and feathers?

I'd like to think that professional fop hated having to be seen on TV in a plain polo shirt.

Who is Roger Stone?

[bfy.tw]

He's Sharon Stone's brother. (Just kidding. Please don't believe my sarcastic jokes.)

@Bierbasstard But Roger Stone HAS been arrested. It's completely inescapable in the media today and you ARE on the Internet.

What You Need To Know: Roger Stone
Mueller investigation: Who is Roger Stone, what links him to Trump?

By Natalie Dreier, Cox Media Group National Content Desk

But who is he and what connection does he have to the investigation?

Who is Roger Stone?
Stone was born in 1952 and was raised in Lewisboro, New York. His mother was a newspaper writer and his father was a well digger.

Stone started his conservative leanings when a neighbor gave him a book, “The Conscience of a Conservative,” written by Barry Goldwater. It was given to him before he turned 13. Shortly after, he started working on the mayoral campaign for William F. Buckley Jr. in New York on weekends in 1965, The New Yorker uncovered in an article published in 2008.

He attended George Washington University but didn’t graduate because he got into politics, working with Republican candidates for more than 40 years, according to The New Yorker.

He was only 19 when Watergate happened, and he, under the name Jason Rainier, made contributions to Pete McCloskey, who was challenging President Richard Nixon for the Republican nomination. Stone, as Rainier, made the contributions through the Young Socialist Alliance and then released the receipt to a newspaper to show that McCloskey was a left-wing candidate, according to The New Yorker.

Stone also hired another person to work in George McGovern’s Democratic presidential campaign. Both events were uncovered during the Watergate hearings in 1973. He lost a job on the staff of Republican Bob Dole because of the hearings and started the National Conservative Political Action Committee, which backed Republicans Chuck Grassley in Iowa and Dan Quayle in Indiana.

Stone also worked twice on the Republican presidential campaigns of Ronald Reagan -- once in 1976, when Reagan didn’t win, and again in 1980, when he did -- then as political director for New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, The New Yorker reported.

After Reagan took office, Stone stayed in the private sector, creating a political consulting and lobbying firm that went under different names, including Black, Manafort, Stone & Atwater.

The firm worked for corporations like Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. to lobby former co-workers in the Reagan campaign who held jobs in the administration. It also served clients like Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, The New Yorker found.

Focusing more on political campaigns as a solo entity instead of lobbying as part of a group, Stone worked as a senior consultant for the successful campaign of George H.W. Bush and worked three campaigns for Republican Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter. He also ran unsuccessful campaigns for Dole’s 1996 quest for president.

He was brought in when the 2000 presidential recount started in Florida. He played the political game on radio stations in southern Florida, saying that the recount was Al Gore’s left-wing power grab, The New Yorker reported. His efforts, along with other Republican assets, empowered George W. Bush’s Republican supporters to protest the second recount. Stone wanted, and got, the recount in Miami shut down in what became the “Brooks Brothers riot,” The Washington Post and The New Yorker reported.

Stone also worked on the younger Bush’s re-election campaign. It is believed documents obtained by CBS News that showed that Bush got out of military service for Vietnam were actually fake and that Stone was the person who created the documents, The New Yorker reported.

Stone was one of President Donald Trump’s panel of long-time advisors, The Washington Post reported. He was connected to Trump when the now-president floated the idea of running in 2000.

Then, Trump said, “Roger is a stone-cold loser,” who “always takes credit for things he never did,” according to The New Yorker.

Despite the harsh words then-private sector member Trump had for Stone, he used Stone for his campaign not once, but twice, teaming up in 2011 when Trump toyed with, but eventually decided against a presidential run. They went their different ways in August 2015, the Times reported.
But who pulled the plug on Stone’s tenure on the Trump campaign? Stone said he resigned and Trump’s campaign officials said he had been fired, The New York Times reported.

Trump said of the firing, “I hardly ever spoke to the guy; he was just there. He played no role of any kind,” the Times reported in 2015.

But Stone was listed on Federal Election Commission filings as being on the campaign payroll and he used Twitter to defend Trump during the campaign, according to the Times.

What is his connection to the Mueller investigation?
Stone has been scrutinized for having ties to WikiLeaks by using an associate as an intermediary between himself and people associated with WikiLeaks, CNN reported.

Stone spoke about having “back channel communications” with Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, during the campaign. Stone later said the “back channel” was really a New York radio host, Randy Credico, who allegedly shared only information gleaned from interviews with Assange, CNN reported.

Stone also predicted releases of information by WikiLeaks in the final days of the campaign between Trump and his Democratic challenger, Hillary Clinton, CNN reported.

Stone said in a column for Breitbart, the website run by former Trump campaign adviser Steve Bannon, that it wasn’t the Russians who hacked the servers containing the emails leaked by WikiLeaks, but it was actually a hacker who went by the name Guccifer 2.0.

>>Read: Russian hackers indicted: Who is Guccifer 2.0? Here are 15 things to know

Despite Stone’s assertions in the column, some have linked Guccifer 2.0 to Russian web services, Foreign Policy reported.

In July 2016, the Times reported that intelligence agencies had “high confidence” that the Russian government was behind the email leaks and that Guccifer 2.0 was in reality an agent of the Russian military intelligence service, or GRU.

Mueller’s team is investigating whether there were other connections between Stone and WikiLeaks. That connection could come in the form of Jerome Corsi, another associate of Stone’s who said this week that he expects to be indicted by Mueller for “giving false information to the special counsel or to one of the other grand jury,” CNN reported.

@DeStijl that was funny but not terribly helpful. Some folks still haven't outsourced their brains to Google.

@AmmaRE007. Thank you.

@OpposingOpposum What is your point? Just being arbitrarily oppositional?

@OpposingOpposum just because you look at it.. doesn't mean that its bought lock stock and barrel.. everyone needs to take these with a grain of salt. This is a simple starting point.

@DeStijl no. My point is that your sarcasm, while funny, isn't terribly helpful or productive. Are you here to make people feel bad or are you here to accomplish a goal(other than making people feel bad)?

@OpposingOpposum The person asked "Who is Roger Stone?" and I provided a resource that answered the question. It was an easily clickable link, both helpful and productive. Given that we're all on computers, I honestly do not understand your "haven't outsourced their brains to Google" comment. Google is a research tool.

@DeStijl it was a laughably obvious response. I took it as sarcasm and laughed. My point however is that pointing out someone's "flaws" isn't terribly helpful. Are we here to make people feel dumb or are we here to inform?

@AmmaRE007 Thanks for that, when I'm working I don't get to interact with the outside world much. I did receive an acerbic response pointing me towards Google, but that turned up a hairdresser in southern England. Now thanks to you, I am more enlightened, together with watching Bill Maher - yes we do get him in the UK. Thanks again
