Undated:
Roger Jason Stone Jr. (born August 27, 1952) is an American
political consultant,[2]
lobbyist
and
strategist known for his use of
opposition research, usually for candidates of the
Republican Party.[3]
Since the 1970s, Stone has worked on the campaigns of such Republican
politicians such as
Richard Nixon,
Ronald Reagan,
Jack Kemp,
Bob Dole
and
Donald Trump.
In addition to serving as a frequent campaign advisor, Stone was previously a
political
lobbyist. In 1980, he co-founded the Washington, D.C.–based lobbying firm
Black, Manafort, Stone with principals
Paul
Manafort and
Charles R. Black Jr.[4][5][6]
The firm recruited
Peter G. Kelly and was renamed
Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly in 1984.[7]:124
During the 1980s, BMSK became a top lobbying firm by leveraging its White House
connections to attract high-paying clients including U.S. corporations, trade
associations, and foreign governments. By 1990, it was one of the leading
lobbyists for American companies and foreign organizations.[7]:125
Stone is a self-described "dirty trickster"[8]
and has variously been referred to in media as a "renowned infighter", a
"seasoned practitioner of hard-edged politics", a "mendacious windbag" and a
"veteran Republican strategist".[9][10][11][12][13][14][15]
Over the course of the Trump presidential campaign, Stone promoted a number of
falsehoods and conspiracy theories.[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]
He has described his political
modus operandi as "Attack, attack, attack—never defend" and "Admit
nothing, deny everything, launch counterattack."[24]
Stone is the subject of a
Netflix
documentary film, titled
Get Me Roger Stone, which focuses on his past and on his role in the
2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump.[25]
Stone first suggested Trump run for President in the spring of 1998 while Stone
was Trump's casino business lobbyist in Washington.[26]
Stone officially left the Trump campaign on August 8, 2015; however, as part of
the ongoing investigation into
Russian interference in the 2016 United States election, two associates of
Stone have claimed he collaborated with WikiLeaks owner
Julian Assange in the spring of 2016 to discredit Hillary Clinton's
campaign. Stone has denied this.[27]

June 1: Donald Trump’s white nationalist
campaign attracted anti-immigrant, pro-Russia politicians from across Europe. In
particular “Brexit” leader Nigel Farage, the proudly racist and sexist former
head of the nationalist UK Independence Party, made an unprecedented
trans-Atlantic push for Trump. Farage attended the Republican convention, did
media appearances to support Trump, joined in raising the rabble at Trump
rallies, and even defended Trump’s ugly Access Hollywood statements as
just the bragging of an “alpha male.” Farage is also an admirer of Trump adviser
Steve Bannon, with a Breitbart-friendly relationship that extends back at least
three years. And now Trump and Farage have
something else in common:
Nigel Farage is a “person of interest” in the US counter-intelligence
investigation that is looking into possible collusion between the Kremlin and
Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, the Guardian has been told.
Farage says he’s never even been to Russia … though he refuses to say if he’s
received payment from RT or other Russian state media. Farage has met with
Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, with Assange-friendly whackadoodle Roger
Stone, and seems to have just incidentally been involved with a lot of people
whose names keep showing up on the FBI radar.
“He’s right in the middle of these relationships. He turns up over and over
again. There’s a lot of attention being paid to him.”
Farage has some recent FBI experience. In July, the FBI
nabbed Farage’s top aide, for laundering drug money through the dark net.
The aide, George Cottrell, previously ran the UKIP offices as well as Farage’s
personal blog. He was arrested by the FBI when Farage and Cottrell came to the
US for the Republican Convention. Cottrell was later found guilty of wire fraud
for offering to help criminals launder funds.

June 6: Last
week, the Guardian published a
report revealing a new and odd twist in the Trump-Russia scandal: Nigel
Farage, the British politician who led the Brexit movement in Great Britain, is
a “person of interest” in the FBI investigation of interactions between Trump
associates and the Russian government. The newspaper reported that Farage was
under FBI scrutiny because he had relationships with both the Trump camp and
WikiLeaks, which disseminated Democratic emails swiped by Russian hackers in an
effort to help Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Farage dismissed the story
as “hysteria” and said he had not been contacted by the FBI. But Farage did meet
with Trump during the campaign. And a source close to the Trump camp tells
Mother Jones that a Trump-Farage meeting was set up by Roger Stone, the
veteran political dirty-trickster and long-time Trump adviser who has come under
investigation in the Trump-Russia inquiry.
That source is Stone himself.

March 23: GAME-CHANGER -- Guccifer 2.0 is a

they talked.

2.0 Was Not a Russian Agent—Mueller's Indictment Says Otherwise

July 13: Republican political operative
Roger Stone insists he did not pass any information sent to him by Russian
intelligence front Guccifer 2.0 to the Trump 2016 campaign, he told The Daily
Caller Friday.
Stone provided a screenshot of his conversation with Guccifer 2.0 to TheDC,
which has previously been made public. The screenshot indicates his Twitter
exchange was listed in a recent indictment by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
The
indictment targeted 12 Russian nationals for orchestrating hacks on the
Democratic Party and distributing them via social media during the 2016
presidential election.
The indictment confirmed that the account Stone was communicating with was a
front for Russian military intelligence outfit the “GRU.”

January 8: For Trump adviser Roger Stone, an
uncomfortable legal limbo persists

January 25: Trump Confidant Roger Stone
Indicted On 7 Counts Related To 2016 Election Attack
In the indictment, the special counsel's office alleges that Stone was in
regular contact both with WikiLeaks, listed as "Organization 1," and the Trump
campaign during critical times around the release of emails stolen from the
Democratic National Committee and a top Clinton campaign official.
"After the July 22, 2016 release of stolen DNC emails by Organization 1, a
senior Trump Campaign official was directed to contact Stone about any
additional releases and what other damaging information Organization 1 had
regarding the Clinton Campaign," the indictment says.
"Stone thereafter told the Trump Campaign about potential future releases of
damaging material by Organization 1," the indictment also says.
In other words: The Trump
team asked Stone to find out more from Wikileaks. Stone then told the Trump
campaign that WikiLeaks had more ammunition for use against Democrats,
prosecutors allege.

February
19: Roger Stone, a longtime confidant and friend of
President Donald Trump,
apologized Monday for an Instagram post showing crosshairs near the federal
judge presiding over the criminal case against him.
The Republican operative's Instagram account quickly posted and deleted the
photo of District Judge Amy Berman Jackson on Monday. In an accompanying
caption, Stone claimed he would only get a "show trial" from Jackson, according
to photos of the post captured before its deletion. He called the her [sic] "an
Obama appointed Judge who dismissed the Benghazi charges again (sic) Hillary
Clinton."
Last week,
Jackson placed a partial gag order on Stone, preventing him from commenting
to the media or in public so as not to risk prejudicing his case. Special
counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian efforts to interfere in the
2016 election and whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin, brought
the case against Stone in January.
