Treat Stone like Capone

By Solomon Jones
January 28, 2019

... For Trump’s defenders, Stone is just a strange man with a tattoo of Richard Nixon on his back; a man who talks too much and tries too hard to take credit for things he didn’t do. If you ask Stone himself, he’s a master of political chicanery who’s been influential since the 70s ...

... if you ask me, Roger Stone is just another entitled rich guy who’s too weak to take the heat ...

Stone, according to Robert Mueller’s indictment, is the kind of man who would threaten to hurt a potential witness’s dog if that witness testified against Trump. But Stone is also the kind of man who would complain that the FBI scared Stone’s dog when they banged on his door to arrest him ...

... while Stone might believe he’s entitled to better treatment than the rest of us, in my view, he’s entitled to go to jail.
