Walkin' And Talkin'

If you talk like a crook and you walk like a crook, and in practically every other way you act like a crook - then you're prob'ly a fuckin' crook.

WaPo:

Roger J. Stone Jr., a longtime informal adviser to President Trump, was arrested by the FBI on Friday after being indicted in the investigation by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.

Stone was charged with seven counts, including one count of obstruction of an official proceeding, five counts of false statements and one count of witness tampering, according to Mueller’s office.

With Stone’s indictment, Mueller has struck deep inside Trump’s inner circle, charging a long-standing friend of the president and one of the first people to promote Trump for the White House.

Stone, 66, who has been friends with Trump for three decades, served briefly as a formal adviser to his presidential campaign in 2015 and then remained in contact with him and top advisers through the election.

The GOP operative has been a key focus of the special counsel for months as Mueller has investigated whether anyone in Trump’s orbit conspired with Russia to interfere in the 2016 presidential campaign.

Read the indictment
I suppose the dangling of pardons will likely come back into play now - preceded of course by more of the usual flip-floppy double-speak:

  • Yes, Roger's a friend
  • No, I never really knew him
  • Yes, he was an integral part of the operation
  • No, he did a few things for us around the edges
  • blah blah fuckin' blah

And Stone will most likely stay in the mode he helped establish for GOP Rat-Fuckery:

  1. Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back! What a freak. Snopes said so, the tattoo, not the freak part.
