In the very unlikely event that Trump doesn't pardon Stone, will he miss swinging in prison? On the bright side, there should be enough muscle types to keep his dance card full:

.... the Stones had apparently run personal ads in a magazine calledLocal Swing Feverand on a Web site that had been set up with Nydia’s credit card. “Hot, insatiable lady and her handsome body builder husband, experienced swingers, seek similar couples or exceptional muscular . . . single men,” the ad on the Web site stated. The ads sought athletes and military men, while discouraging overweight candidates, and included photographs of the Stones. At the time, Stone claimed that he had been set up by a “very sick individual,” but he was forced to resign from Dole’s campaign. Stone acknowledged to me that the ads were authentic. “When that whole thing hit the fan in 1996, the reason I gave a blanket denial was that my grandparents were still alive,” he said. “I’m not guilty of hypocrisy. I’m a libertarian and alibertine.”

A sign inside the front door of Miami Velvet, a night club of sorts in a warehouse-style building a few minutes from the airport, states, “If sexual activity offends you in any way, do not enter the premises.” At first glance, though, the scene inside looks like a nineteen-eighties disco, with a bar, Madonna at high volume, flashing lights, a stripper’s pole, and a dancer’s cage. But a flat-screen television on the wall plays porn videos, and many clubgoers disappear into locker rooms and emerge wearing towels. From there, some of them go into a lounge, a Jacuzzi room, or one of about half a dozen private rooms to have sex—with their dates or with new acquaintances. Miami Velvet is the leading “swingers’ club” in Miami, and Roger Stone took me there ...

In my ../Politics/Donald Trump/Russia Investigaton folder, the first subfolder I created was for Roger Stone. That article was one of the first I bookmarked in that folder. It wasn't until March of 2017 that I first read it. I doubt I would've remembered it if I'd read it almost a decade earlier when it was first published. 

Here's another article I bookmarked at around the same time. What a walk down memory lane. We all knew this day was coming eventually.

From your link, the timing and veracity of Trump publicly accusing the DNC of hacking itself to deflect from the Russian operation involving Stone and Guccifer2.0 (GRU) looks so scripted in retrospect.

Like those folks in that Qanon thread I, too, have a lowly opinion of law enforcement officers, and have had ever since they caught me with three .lbs of heroin and sent me to prison for 17 years. 

If it wasn’t for bad luck, you wouldn’t have none at all.

CNN stealing material from the Onion? 

No, it's real.

 

Nixon Foundation distances itself from Roger Stone after Mueller indictment

https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/25/politics/nixon-foundation-distances-stone/index.html    

 

Spoiler

On the day of his indictment by special counsel Robert Mueller, former Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone seems to have lost the support of one of his greatest heroes, former President Richard Nixon -- or at least Nixon's foundation.

The Nixon Foundation sought to distance itself Friday from Stone after the political provocateur emerged from a Florida federal courthouse flashing the signature double V hand signal, usually used to symbolize "victory" or "peace," that Nixon made when he departed the White House after his resignation. Stone, who has a tattoo of the former president on his back, has long cited Nixon as a key political icon and influence.
 
"This morning's widely-circulated characterization of Roger Stone as a Nixon campaign aide or adviser is a gross misstatement. Mr. Stone was 16 years old during the Nixon presidential campaign of 1968 and 20 years old during the reelection campaign of 1972," the Nixon Foundation tweeted.
 
The foundation added, "Mr. Stone, during his time as a student at George Washington University, was a junior scheduler on the Nixon reelection committee. Mr. Stone was not a campaign aide or adviser. Nowhere in the Presidential Daily Diaries from 1972 to 1974 does the name 'Roger Stone' appear."

Trump and His Associates Had
More Than 100 Contacts With
Russians Before the Inauguration

By KAREN YOURISH and LARRY BUCHANAN JAN. 26, 2019

During the 2016 presidential campaign and transition, Donald J. Trump and at least 17 campaign officials and advisers had contacts with Russian nationals and WikiLeaks, or their intermediaries, a New York Times analysis has found. At least 10 other associates were told about interactions but did not have any themselves.

Knowledge of these interactions is based on New York Times reporting, documents submitted to Congress, and court records and accusations related to the special counsel investigating foreign interference in the election.

Among these contacts are more than 100 in-person meetings, phone calls, text messages, emails and private messages on Twitter. Mr. Trump and his campaign repeatedly denied having such contacts with Russians during the 2016 election.

Maddow brought up an interesting question about the Stone indictment that keeps bugging me.

Why was Stone so determined to perpetuate the lie that his Wikileaks connection was Credico and not Jerome Corsi.

Why did Roger Stone want to lead the trail away from Corsi? 

I have no idea but it got me looking at another (probably unrelated) angle between InfoWars, the NRA, and Russia.

Like what if the Russians were financing InfoWars with laundered money through the NRA?

This would be something the Russians would absolutely do but I don’t know if it can be proven.

Anyway, I hope someone investigates.

Isn't that picture old?  I think from when people were protesting in front of Javanka's house on a Saturday night.   A neighbor left a party with the champagne to watch the protest.

I can’t find anybody else reporting this, but David Shuster is (as at least was) a legitimate journalist.




So Jr gets divorced, pays alimony, child support, and gives up assets only to bang a mannish foxnews anchor, go to jail all while his ex wife gets pounded by other dudes whom his kids will eventually call dad.

Are we sure Eric is the only retard?

Somebody remind me why MSNBC ran Schuster off? Seems like he said something kinda metooish and got caught. 

See what I can find 

Well, he said something to the effect that the Clinton campaign was "pimping" Chelsea out in 2008, but he got fired later for doing a pilot for CNN without MSNBC's permission.

Adam Schiff statement on Roger Stone indictment:

 

Quote

Washington, DC, Jan. 25, 2019 – Today, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, released the following statement:

“The indictment of Roger Stone, released today by the Special Counsel, provides new and important detail about the Trump campaign’s effort to acquire dirt on Hillary Clinton, which Wikileaks possessed in the form of thousands of emails stolen from her campaign by agents of the Kremlin. It also details the extent to which Mr. Stone knew about Wikileaks’ future releases of stolen emails, and lied to our committee about it. Most significant is the allegation that a senior campaign official was ‘directed’ in July 2016 to contact Mr. Stone about additional Wikileaks releases. Our Committee will be eager to learn just who directed a senior campaign official to contact Stone about additional damaging information held by Wikileaks, one of the publishing arms of Russian government hackers.

“It is also significant that this outreach took place days before Donald Trump called on Russia to ‘find the 30,000 emails that are missing’ from Hillary Clinton’s email server. That would mean that at the very time that then-candidate Trump was publicly encouraging Russia’s help in acquiring Clinton-related emails, his campaign was privately receiving information about the planned release of stolen Clinton emails.

“This is now the second witness who has been indicted for or plead guilty to making false statements in testimony before our Committee. These prosecutions should make it abundantly clear that those who appear before congressional investigators and attempt to mislead us will be held to account. Neither we nor the Special Counsel will tolerate efforts by any person to impede any investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, nor to pressure a witness to withhold testimony from or mislead Congress. The first order of business for the Committee will be to release all remaining transcripts to the Special Counsel’s Office, and we will continue to follow the facts wherever they lead.”

 

"Most significant is the allegation that a senior campaign official was ‘directed’ in July 2016 to contact Mr. Stone about additional Wikileaks releases. Our Committee will be eager to learn just who directed a senior campaign official to contact Stone about additional damaging information held by Wikileaks, one of the publishing arms of Russian government hackers."

---> Mueller possesses the evidence to answer that question. 

We're suddenly well past the stage of flipping the small fish swimming on the edges.

Six in 10 Americans in an ABC News/Washington Post poll say the new Democratic majority in the House should make use of its authority to obtain and publicly release Donald Trump’s tax returns, while about as many support other Democratic-led investigations of the president.

Beyond the tax issue, 57 to 61 percent back House investigations into three topics tested in the national survey: possible collusion between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia, Trump’s relationship and communications with Russian President Vladimir Putin and possible financial ties between Trump and foreign governments.

 

Quote

Fewer, 40 percent, support Congress beginning impeachment proceedings against Trump, with 55 percent opposed. That support is down 9 percentage points from August, in a survey conducted shortly after Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, was convicted of fraud and his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations at what he said was Trump’s direction.

This survey, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates, was completed Thursday, a day before special counsel Robert Mueller indicted former Trump adviser Roger Stone on charges of obstruction, false statements and witness tampering.

 

Quote

Another result shows the politicized nature of Mueller’s work. Just 43 percent of Americans express confidence that his eventual report will be “fair and even-handed,” while 50 percent doubt it. Trust in Mueller reach 62 percent among Democrats, but slide to 40 percent among political independents and just 22 percent among Republicans.

We’re also past the stage where Trump and Congressional Republicans can keep this info away from the public.  If Schiff wants it out, they can’t stop him.

Can’t imagine how this matters.

So a population entirely ignorant of all the facts that have been gathered and only exposed to relentless media rebuttals is not sure what to believe? No wai.

I feel that’s more of a indication of how the trust in media has been systematically eroded over the last 10 years, rather than a highly decorated FBI agent and several of the beast lawyers in the world fabricating libraries worth of overwhelming and undeniable evidence trying to snowball our Glorious Leader. 

The thing with fed prosecutors is that if they have the evidence, they will fucking bury you.

Muller is on our side. Trump is not. Support for Trump is starting to require some real and actual delusion.

Also he admits it’s true. 

And of course, he admitted it right away.

LOL, jk.  Stone denied the allegations, railed against “anonymous sources” and their “lies,” and accused innocent people of slandering him.  Sound familiar?

I watched Get Me Roger Stone the other night. Watching him talk about the value of misinformation was amazing. Trump voters: "he tells it like it is!".
