Roger Stone has acquired two attorneys.

Josh Marshall (TPM) has reported that Roger Stone, friend of Trump, thinks he may have been picked up on FISA warrant phonecall with 2 or 3 Russian operatives, including Guccifer 2.0.

He has retained two lawyers to assist him with any future questions or investigations. More to come on this story.

did not know he had one on his ass.
Be cool if he did...then every time his ass got kicked, it would be doubly fun.

Stone is about 1 level below Bannon for sleaze factor. More of an opportunist, more shallow.
but apparently has whatever attractions that Trump likes in guys like him.

I think he's guilty as hell but merely hiring an attorney if the feds are looking into your records is simply smart.

of course for Stone, it could not be any ordinary car smashing into his, it was an "attempted assassination" 'cause he is sooo important, don'tcha know.

CAN say that he doesn't know TWO--his entire English vocabulary seems to be limited to one *four-letter* word.....What a classless douchebag.

I believe the hideously misnamed USA PATRIOT Act has made it so that the intelligence community can monitor telephone and internet communications outside the United States pretty much at will. So if Roger Stone is taking a break from his swinger club activities (I know, ewwwww!) to chat with foreign rat-fuckers, then he did it bareback, and exposed himself in an area where he doesn't have any constitutional protections.

All the crap he brags about...

And he is in with Manafort...

He was working both ends during day Bush's campaign..

And Nixon..wow.

He is the king of the dirty tricksters.

Steaming turds like Stone will give up friends and family to save themselves. Should be interesting when he starts pointing a finger.
