Roger Stone surfaces

[DeminPennswoods]

Chris Hayes retweeted that Stone will be on CBS This Morning.

Also Stone talked to the NYT. Link: https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/03/21/us/roger-stone-donald-trump-russia.html?_r=0&referer=https://www.google.com/

Stone's on the FBI's radar in the Trump-Russia investigation. Given Comey's testimony that Russia used 3rd party cut-outs and Stone's interaction with guccifer2.0 and Assange, figure the FBI is about ready to start putting the squeeze on ol' Roger.

1. How's this for an idea?

Stop giving these traitors air time.

[CincyDem]

2. Maybe. But consider that this air time actually hurts their case.

IIRC, Rudy G's bragging about how Trump brought him in "to help make the muslim ban work with the courts" is being used, in part, by the courts as a statement of intent by judges willing to examine the context of both Muslim Ban 1.0 and 2.0.

Flynn's interview with Michael Isakof at the Republican National Convention where he said he never took any money from Russia is also showing up as part of the questions.

Nothing said in these interviews is under oath but it seems like the perfect environment for a potential target and/or witness to inadvertently drop a nugget that turns into a line of investigation that turns into questions under oath that turn into a shit sandwich for the target.

Unfortunately, I've had the opportunity to be on the receiving end of more than a few depositions. Best advice I ever got - never (that's NEVER) try to convince the inquisitor who smart you are. Friend or foe, when you try to impress someone, you ALWAYS end up saying something that'll come back to bite you. Answer the question asked. Try to use yes/no. Make sure you're answering an actual question vs. defending some kind of attack.

In a media interview, all that goes out the window.

So my vote, given that this guy is circling the drain, give him the airtime to weave the rope he'll hang with.

IMHO.

9. Good point. The more scared they are, the more air time they should get.

3. Stone is now newsworthy as the subject of an FBI criminal

investigation. Surprised his attorney is letting him speak publicly.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

10. Roger Stone is the type of guy to bring his own rope.

So I'm going to let the guy talk, if you know what I mean.

[Yavin4]

11. Let Stone talk.

and implicate himself on national TV.

[DeminPennswoods]

12. Exactly

Stone is all about denial right now. I doubt he knows what the investigators have/don't have on him. He can only hurt himself by going on the air and talking.

4. He has survived two assassins in the past month

What a story! Worthy of airtime ( on Alex Jones )

[Scarsdale]

5. Yeah, right!

In his own mind. He is a strange dude.

[L. Coyote]

7. According to the paranoid voices in his crazy brain.

Perfect for broadcasting to all the paranoid lunatics because it so fits their world view.

6. We are going to know way more about roger stone than we ever planned on or wanted to know.

Then we will watch him be frog marched off to prison or maybe even a firing squad.
