Trump crony Roger Stone arrested

I’m thinking a cross between that guy and Edgar the Bug from Men in Black.

You shouldn’t have threatened the dog, Roger.

It would ruin your TV, for sure. Also anything breakable within easy reach of your couch…

Wait…his charges are not directly related to meddling. His charges are about obstruction of justice and lying under oath. Does mean that he didn’t meddle, but that is something different.

Looks like this is going to lead to Assange.

Now would be a great time for the Ecuadorian Embassy to toss Assange out the door.

I’m not surprised Linda Tirado is on it so well. She’s the shit!

The indictment relies directly on the election meddling investigations. That’s a direct connection. It doesn’t mean the charges on the first indictment are for meddling, but it means that uncovered meddling will be part of given evidence.

Manafort’s didn’t rely on the meddling activities. This one does and @anon15383236 is right here.

There’s more about the connections to Russian Interference throughout the indictment, but here is an example of one of the things the charges will rely on:

  1. After the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the U.S. House of Representatives Permanent
    Select Committee on Intelligence (“HPSCI”), the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
    (“SSCI”), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) opened or announced their respective investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, which included
    investigating STONE’s claims of contact with Organization 1.

Maybe…

The head of Organization 1 was located at all relevant times
at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, United Kingdom.

I always though of Trump as a racist asshole Chauncey Gardner.

For decades, I had to have round or roundish frames, because my myopia was SO bad that it was better than having inch-thick plastic at the corners of anything more squarish.

Thank goddess for vision-correcting IOLs. But I still have roundish ones because I grew to like them.

With much less Jesus at the end. Zero.

The “I’m not touching you” degree of specificity in these charging documents for unindicted associates that leaves absolutely no question about who they’re referring to is one of my greatest delights.
