2. YES!

Club Fed is going to be really full of old friends

"Old friends
Memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fear"

[maxsolomon]

3. Stone will go to prison rather than tell the truth

He'll bank on a pardon, and he'll get it.

[pbmus]

4. Yes, but lots of states attorney generals watching...

[maxsolomon]

14. yeah, they do a lot of watching

and very little acting.

[Wednesdays]

31. And all he has to do is avoid those states

[RandomAccess]

5. Of all the repulsive characters around Trump

Stone is, without any doubt, THE most repulsive to me. He tops Bannon by a lot, and Bannon ought to repulse anyone. Slimy, smarmy, ugly, dark, evil creature. I don't have enough words to describe him.

I'm appalled and disgusted by Mulvaney -- big time! But of all of them, Stone just does me in. I feel like I need a shower just having THOUGHT or read about him.

6. Stone is an old ratf*cker from the Nixon era.

He learned his trade from the Watergate gang.

[RandomAccess]

13. I know, and that's the BEST thing you can say about him.

Seriously, I get the most horrid vibes about him -- akin to syphillis, and all kinds of evildoing. I'm not saying he HAS or ever had syphillis, just that that's the level of really ugly stuff on the level of existence he occupies. If that makes any sense.

19. He is definitely worse than flea shit

The Dirty Trickster

When I asked why he moved to Miami, Stone quoted a Somerset Maugham line: “It’s a sunny place for shady people. I fit right in.” After leaving Black, Manafort, in the mid-nineties, Stone had operated on his own, hopping from project to project. He ran one of the quixotic independent bids for New York governor of the billionaire Tom Golisano; helped defeat a pro-environment voter initiative in Florida, in 1996; and ran a political campaign in Ukraine. (“I’m the father of the yard sign in Ukraine,” Stone told me. “They say, ‘Comrade is genius.’ ”) He realized that he could establish his base anywhere he wanted. “I could see the smoke billowing from the Pentagon on 9/11, and after that I decided to get the hell out of Washington,” Stone said at lunch. “That’s when I cut my last ties there.”

Hmmmm ... Manafort ... Ukraine .....

7. The photo creeped me out. no text

[Sneederbunk]

17. Some character out of a Bond movie.

[sprinkleeninow]

22. Yes. Or worse, 'The Joker' (is that 'Batman'?)

[PJMcK]

8. I wonder if Stone is in any danger (n/t)

[Leghorn21]

9. Well, GOOD

[Poiuyt]

[malaise]

10. H2OMan saw this coming

Rec

[suffragette]

28. Yep, and its way past due for Stone, decades old scumbag that he is.

[Me.]

29. Yep

[mcar]

11. What a ridiculous cast of characters!

It's just so wonderful we have a businessman and all his "best people" in charge.

[UpInArms]

12. When that lowlife fucktard is wearing orange and shackles

I shall do the merry jig

[pbmus]

15. AMEN....should have been behind bars way before this...

[sprinkleeninow]

24. And I shall do a Slovak Korobushko or a Greek Kalamatianos.

[Thekaspervote]

16. Theres something wrong with him! He looks like a cone head from SNL

Some kind of weird cretin

[callous taoboy]

18. Or Zippy the Pinhead

[BigmanPigman]

36. Ditto!

[slumcamper]

35. Hmmmm....he bears resemblance to McConnell, uno? n/y

[magicarpet]

20. And these Fascist fucks should be permanently...

Barred from ever serving in any capacity in government again. Be it federal, state, or municipal. No consultant work, no adviser, no lobbyist work, no running as a candidate... keep the hell out of the entire process.

[NCTraveler]

23. His attachment to Nevins needs to be looked at further.

At least his actions after info was given. I’m sure that is being looked at by Mueller. It was one of the earliest red flags we saw.

[Sunsky]

25. K&R

Awesome! Get him out of S. Florida, please.

[dhol82]

26. That would be too cool!

This particular rat needs to be taken down.
Such an abominable person. He is a waste of oxygen.

[Initech]

27. These assholes are literally getting away with all the crimes they accused Obama and Clinton of.

I really hope something takes them down, and I hope Roger Stone rots in prison. He needs to be made an example of.

[UTUSN]

30. There're far *worse* things he's guilty of, plus a Swinger/he would LIKE prison!1

[QED]

32. He really really loved Nixon

[ProudLib72]

33. Even Alex is surprised

And it takes a lot to surprise that shitbag. (I want to punch him. Oh yes, I do)

[JDC]

34. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy

[missingm]

37. For lying to Congress? I would love for it to happen but....

... no one goes to prison for that. The Committee would have to hold in in Contempt then the full body would have to vote to convict. Even then it rarely happens.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

38. Oh GOOD!! n/t

[BoneyardDem]

39. Y-E-A-H Stone looks like he could hold out under the expertise of Mueller Pressure

...or not.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

40. Stone may be too late. If Mueller has what he needs he could just throw the book at Stone. . . . nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

41. Please do.

Please, please, please do.
