Longtime GOP operative and wearer of custom-made Steve Harvey suits, Roger Stone was arrested early Friday morning. He was charged in special counsel Robert Muellerโs Russia investigation with one count of obstruction, five counts of making false statements, and one count of witness tampering.
Suggested Reading
Stone posted $250,000 bail and walked out of jail like he was a rock star. He literally did the whole Nixon-double-peace-sign-thing and then spoke about how he has no plans to snitch on his main man and his apple scrap from way back, President Trump.
In truth, we all need someone to love us the way that Roger Stone loves Trump and Roger Stone. Itโs a strange three-way love, and somehow Stone has convinced himself heโs doing the lordโs work of protecting the president as he already said that he wonโt testify against the president. He also said shortly after his release from prisonโin which he walked out to chants of โlock him up,โ which he likely heard as โlove me some himโโthat he will be giving more interviews in the days to come because Stone lives for spotlight even if the spotlight is a shining light during an interrogation.
โI am falsely accused of making false statements,โ Stone said before adding that he looked โforward to being vindicated,โ The Hill reports.
โThere is no circumstance whatsoever under which I will bear false witness against the president,โ Stone said, โnor will I make up lies to ease the pressure on myself.โ
So expect to get a heavy dose of Roger Stone on all the news channels because nobody loves some Roger Stone like Roger Stone, and we shouldโve figured as much considering this is a grown man with a Richard Nixon back tattoo and a wide-leg suit game that would make a Detroit pastor jealous.
A smiling Stone told those gathered, โAs I have always said, the only thing worse about being talked about is not being talked about.โ
Spoken like a true stunt queen.
