    Roger Stone arrested---another trumpy goes down

    From this morning's WSJ:

    WASHINGTON—A longtime political adviser to President Trump, Roger Stone, was arrested in Florida early Friday on charges of lying to Congress about his contacts with the website WikiLeaks during the 2016 campaign, in the latest indictment from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

    In an indictment returned in Washington on Thursday, Mr. Stone was also charged with obstructing an official proceeding and trying to persuade a witness to lie to investigators.

    Mr. Stone was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, and will make an initial appearance in federal court there on Friday, the special counsel’s office said.

    Friday’s indictment depicts the strongest ties known to date between the Trump campaign and an organization that U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded was publishing emails stolen by Russian hackers.
    The above is only the beginning of the article---which goes into great detail to the point that that one might think Bannon could be the next lackey to take the fall.

    Never ever seen so many "close to" any President get arrested. Sure it's the old lying to Congress thing again.

    Does bode well for the guy in the White House, but then Rudy hasn't tossed in his spin cycle yet.

    Just for giggles, there have been more Russians indited in this investigation than Americans.

    Another Mueller “Show Indictment” signifying absolutely nothing other than he and his merry band of Hillary supporters is grasping at straws. O.K., Mueller ferreted out that Roger Stone was full of ballyhoo & BS and lied about his sources. Big F’ing Deal. The guy has a tattoo of Dick Nixon on his back. You think he is important. Everything he did here was after WikiLeaks dropped the perloined emails on the public, and that someone in the Trump Campaign was allegedly then sent to try to find out if Stone had contacts to tell what would drop next is proof that the Trumpsters did not have a part in the email drop or they would already know what there was. Mueller’s indictments obviate a Trump/Russia conspiracy.

    The bad part is that Trump consulted at all with this goof.

    You should expect nothing less. These goofs mirror trump's character, they are most comfy with one and other.
