https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/01/25/politics/nixon-foundation-distances-stone/index.html*SNIP*
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.
*SNIP*
I mean, even Dicky said "Too tricky."

(14,972 posts)1. And yet there are pictures of Nixon and Stone together...
and whilst it is true that Presidents take pictures with probably tens of thousands of people in the course of their presidency, Stone was recognized sufficiently for whatever work he *did* do to warrant, at minimum, being included in a presidential meet-and-greet event.
