Donald Trump's campaign said Saturday it has fired top political adviser Roger Stone -- who promptly denied being let go and insisted he had quit.
Stone's disassociation from the Trump operation highlights the campaign's seeming lack of veteran political advisers, even as the 2016 season is ramping up in earnest.

The problem with that statement is that Roger Stone was never within the Trump Administration.... He was fired more than 15 months before the election during the primaries.

STONE testified falsely that he had never discussed his conversations with the person he referred to as his “go-between,” “mutual friend,” and “intermediary” with anyone involved in the Trump Campaign.

STONE’s False and Misleading Testimony About Communications with the Trump Campaign


During his HPSCI testimony, STONE was asked, “did you discuss your conversations with the intermediary with anyone involved in the Trump campaign?” STONE falsely and misleadingly answered, “I did not.” In truth and in fact, and as described above, STONE spoke to multiple individuals involved in the Trump Campaign about what he claimed to have learned from his intermediary to Organization 1, including the following:

a. On multiple occasions, STONE told senior Trump Campaign officials about materials possessed by Organization 1 and the timing of future releases.

b. On or about October 3, 2016, STONE wrote to a supporter involved with the Trump Campaign, “Spoke to my friend in London last night. The payload is still coming.”

c. On or about October 4, 2016, STONE told a high-ranking Trump Campaign official that the head of Organization 1 had a “erious security concern” but would release “a load every week going forward.”

It's so strange how everyone close to Trump eventually ends up in prison. I mean, what are the odds?

This is also a warning to anyone who might want to lie to Congress in any upcoming Ukrainian congressional testimony.

Do any of the articles on this have a picture of Stone after his ****-eating grin was wiped off his face? You know the one I'm talking about, ie, showing up for the verdict:

**** you Stone, and let us all join our voices in harmony: **** Trump!
