$450,000
Roger Stone, a longtime adviser to President Donald Trump, blasted out a 1,600-word statement this week asking for help paying the nearly $460,000 in legal fees he says he has incurred since landing in the crosshairs of the federal and congressional investigations into Russia's interference in the 2016 US election.

Stone , whose contact with the Russia-linked hacker Guccifer 2.0 and the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange before the election has come under scrutiny as part of the investigations, said it cost him $400,000 in legal fees to prepare for his testimony before the House Intelligence Committee in September.

J.D. Gordon, a national security official for the Trump campaign, told Business Insider that while Trump's reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee were "taking care" of the president and his son Donald Trump Jr., "the rest of us who aren't billionaires must fend for ourselves."

Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, who is chummy with Stone, last week introduced legislation pressuring Mueller to resign. Speaking from the House floor on Tuesday night, Gaetz said, "We are at risk of a coup d'etat in this country."

I can only hope they all go down together.
Roger Stone has bragged for years that he was the architect of the Brooks Brothers Riot at the Miami Dade Courthouse in 2000. I have a very special wish for him to be wearing orange.

Yeah well the coup has already taken place, Gaetz. It happened last year, where were you?
Yes they should ALL go down, starting with Stone.

Of course, if you did nothing wrong, and you will be testifying honestly, maybe you don't need $400,000 worth of legal fees before testifying. Maybe you should also choose lawyers with more reasonable rates. Just like the public has to choose doctors whose rates are reasonable.

And for Stone and co....why are you not asking Trump for money, you did his dirty work, didn't you? Now you will know who your friends are, and you are going to find out that the orange-man is not one of them.

Oh wait, we have no idea because she hasn't gone whining to the press about it.

(1,222 posts)I especially love this bit of lying and hypocrisy near the end:
"I am not a wealthy man, by any means," Stone said in his emailed appeal. "Such a crushing expense, with nothing to show for it except my vindication against a juggernaut of political dirty tricks and lies, threatens to destroy me and my family financially all because I fought to elect Donald Trump. All because the deep state partisans know I will continue fighting for his agenda.
The guy is worth $20 million per Forbes, and that probably doesnt even include his paradise accounts.
These are the deplorables
