the answer is yes. once he bites on to an idea it s hard to get him to loose that idea at all. is it out of the realm that he would put russia into the equation i don t think he s a traitor but people are doing things that are so outrageous and crazy in the interesti inof getting power do i think roger is silly enough to get himself in that kind of jam? if he did, he won t go down easily and he won t walk away in defeat if he can. there s a new yorker profile about roger stone back in 2008, jeffrey toobin wrote it and said that stone worked for donald trump as an occasional lobbyist around adviser when trump considered running for president in 2000. quote, roger is a stone cold loser, trump told me he always tries taking credit for things he never did. do you think that could play into some defense for stone with his legal troubles currently . i m not kpe tonight make legal judgments only political
