Roger Stone guilty of lying to Congress to protect Trump and his campaign

Roger Stone was not a member of the President's administration.
Stone officially left the Trump campaign on August 8, 2015 at the campaign's request.

Carry on...

Roger Stone was listed on FEC filings as being on the Trump campaign payroll for 2016.
 
Why does anything Stone did prior to November 2016 matter? Surrounding himself with crooks? The results don't show that

as for the worst recovery in U.S. history

Obama Wins The Gold For Worst Economic Recovery Ever

Yes, this is the slowest U.S. recovery since WWII

I could go on but it is a waste of time as results don't resonate with you. Think about how bad the recession was, and what was the actual recovery? Compare this recession with the 81-82 recession and you will find that your argument is moot

Well, you've at least found someone who agrees with you and who wrote an op ed on the subject about it. None of the economic statistics show that the recovery was anywhere to the worst ever.

If it really was, nothing much changed when Trump was elected. I know you think it did, but none of the actual figures back that up.

As fore Roger Stone and Trump:

Trump associate Roger Stone found guilty of lies that protected Trump
 
Do you have a link? I'm going by the Aug. '15 quit/fire date I originally posted above. Though the article below mentions Stone was on the FEC filings it didn't say for 2016.
https://www.nytimes.com/politics/fi...ne-jump-or-was-he-pushed-from-trump-campaign/

Sources: Roger Stone quit, wasn't fired by Trump in campaign shakeup - POLITICO

Of course I have a link.

https://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/08/08/did-roger-stone-jump-or-was-he-pushed-from-trump-campaign/

Mr. Stone would not comment on his departure. Mr. Trump, in an interview, said it was “totally false” that Mr. Stone had resigned.

“I hardly ever spoke to the guy; he was just there. He played no role of any kind,” Mr. Trump said.

But Mr. Stone showed up in the Trump campaign’s filings with the Federal Election Commission as being on its payroll, and he frequently defended Mr. Trump on Twitter and on television
 
That's also my link above which I thoroughly read.
Can you point out where it said Stone was on the payroll in 2016 because I sure didn't read that.

It's right there in the quote in my post. I think maybe you mean to say that you can't read.

Not to worry... I can read and it does not say what you wrote above. It gave no date.


Go ahead and copy and paste, quote the part of the article that says what you alleged about Stone showing up in the Trump campaign’s filings with the Federal Election Commission as being on its payroll in 2016, or retract your claim.

Don't run away now...

Do you really think it really had to include a date? In what other campaigns do you know of run by the Donald Trump that there was a controversy about whether Stone was fired by or resigned from than other 2016? I thought the article made that pretty clear. You need a remedial reading class.

No, I am claiming that is what Russia wanted, NOT Trump in the WH and you are giving him that, chaos because you hate the change happening that puts American first

The American people are benefiting from Trump which is why there is such anger on your part due to a belief in the failed liberal ideology, why is that? Do you understand the reality of an economy that is based on the private sector? Apparently not,

Enemies of American freedom and righteousness will find all sorts of evil things to say about their opponents as they lie their way into power for their own benefit at great cost to the American people.

Democrats don't hate evil so much as they are evil and will pretend to be holy only so far as to bring down better men and women than themselves.
 
Facts is what I gave you. The actual DJI.

What is it about tRUMPism that makes people not know what a simple fact is? Is tRUMPs lies contagious to tRUMPrs?

Please explain to us all how Obama generated a 20k stock market that you claim he generated? You don't seem to understand the private sector at all and what drives it, let me help you, pro growth economic policies, lower taxes spur the largest component of GDP which is consumer spending, reduction in EPA regulations and the elimination of all the Obama anti growth Executive Orders. Please try to show a little objectivity in your posts
 
Apparently simple reading comprehension gets in your way in being able to understand facts.

Why don't you post some facts to let the forum see your definition and let's not forget context!

As fore Roger Stone and Trump:

Then reading comprehension isn't your strong suit because you called this the worst recession in history so why don't you define the recovery from that recession. Huge negative GDP growth in 2009 AND 2009, what was the largest percentage annual growth Obama was able to generate? If that is a true success then no wonder your state is in such poor shape, very low standards and expectations

Trump associate? What does that have to do with Trump's performance as President? When did Stone leave Trump?

Just another typical liberal who doesn't understand state and local responsibilities on the issues you claim. First Trump took office in January 2017 and his performance and responsibilities began at that time

Second, each state has its own EPA department that controls the activities in the state, that isn't a federal responsibility and never has been. If you are truly worried about pollution in the air then shut down the Democratic Hot air!

Third Trump has stopped making this country the world's policemen and I thought liberals hated war. You believe he abandoned the Kurds which now seems to bother you a lot when it bothered you before that we were even in the area. Your double standards is staggering. Let's not forget that the leader of ISIS was taken out by Trump military action IN SYRIA!!

Once again, in case you missed it: Obama didn't generate the recovery. The president does not control the economy. Trump didn't generate the recovery. The president does not control the economy. The economy is growing at about the same rate now that it was during the years Obama was in office. There was no massive sudden increase in the economy when Trump was elected.

I'm sure Trump doesn't have any idea who Stone is, never heard of him... well, he may have been hired to bring us coffee or something, maybe. Trump never seems to remember the scoundrels he's hired once they're caught.

Trump said he was going to stop making this country the world's policeman.

Why, then, did he veto the bill to take us out of Saudi Arabia's war with Yemen?
Why, then, did he send troops to Saudi Arabia?

Once in a while Trump does say something that makes sense. Stop making this country the world's policeman. Outlaw bubble gum flavored vaping stuff that appeals to kids. Craft a health care system that covers everyone. Great examples. I could get behind any and all of the above.

But he didn't mean any of it.

#45 was a criminal when he took office and he still is. Why is he so desperate to hide his finances?
The constitution gives all power that is not enforced by the federal government to the states.
However, if a state law and a federal one are different, the federal law will supercede the law of the state. . .
And then the narcissistic braggart compromised military security by revealing classified information about the operation methods.

He already folded on the candy flavored vaping ban.

Obama like you have no understanding of the private sector economy that this country operates under. Of course he create the recovery, his economic policies focused on the PUBLIC SECTOR not the Private Sector which is why it was the worst recovery in history

I am sure you love living in the past as Stone left the Trump campaign in 2015 and even it it was 2016 why does that matter? The election is over, Hillary lost, get over it! That is ancient history so stop trying to overturn the results

LOL, there isn't anything Trump can do to earn your support thus a waste of time. What doesn't make sense is what you expect from a President, someone you can like, a politician who tells you what you want to hear, and someone who looks good in public. Stunning how poorly informed you are as you are an indictment of the California education system

He was duly elected and has done nothing while in office to warrant this hatred. your opinion is based upon indoctrination by the media and the left as you have zero credibility. The only thing that matters now are his actions IN the WH. The Constitution gives both federal and state power, if it isn't in the Constitution it belongs to the states, show me marriage and environmental issues in the Constitution?

You like far too many liberals have no understanding of the Constitution, how our economy works, the role of the President and the Congress. Suggest a civics class
