Anyway I’m glad NYT chose to write a puff piece on Stone so that the piece I’ve had in the works for a week on the really obvious reasons why Stone is in trouble will be news when I post it in 3 days.
NYT hed: poor Grandpa Roger might face legal jeopardy for his Enhanced Political Opposition Techniques.
Here's my non puff piece on what Mueller seems to be investigating. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/08/11/like-a-rat-fucking-stone/ … Downside: Unlike the NYT I don't treat Stone as a sweet old "piratical trickster." Upside: I actually present information of use.
Another upside: Unlike NYT's stupid ass puff piece, I realize Stone is not a focus JUST bc he knew what Wikileaks was going to dump.
All commenters should calm down and read the story, where they will find Nixon in the very first graf. And @emptywheel should consider aiming before she fires
Scott: is it your professional opinion as a (checks) journalist that Miller is simply trying to quash a subpoena? That Stone is simply “scrapping”?
Also, the history with Andrew Miller goes back many years earlier than 2016... This is not a NYT quality article. http://www.floridabulldog.org/2013/05/hidden-owner-of-broward-news-site-gave-120000-to-group-that-paid-sheriffs-campaign-manager/ … PS: Marcy's indignation is always righteous
To clarify, the NYT Feuer article is not NYT quality...
Yeah, it's weird how people -- even people who would seem to be in positions where they really SHOULD know better -- think these are kind of optional appearances.
Stone must be one of @nytimes's coveted, go-to sources. Bannon clearly is, too. Need to protect that hand(s) that feed(s) them...
Is that the guy who went on every news station he could talking about how he wouldn't answer if subpoenaed?
I keep wondering if the entire #KremlinTrumpGOP cabal & Associates™ either have the Hobson's Choice of life in prison or a shot of #PoloniumTea, or are all just #RatFuckers.
What everyone has forgotten is that crazy sam numberg thing when he owed documents to special counsel was similar but he woke up bf ignoring a subpoena-have to wonder how much Stone has manipulated his loyalist to test the system so he does not have to?
Makes you (1) wonder why Mr. Miller will not testify and (2) how involved is RS and the orange spawn in what appears to be an orchestrated attempt to stop Mueller.
How do you feel about the fact that your social media presence could 100% disappear if you annoy the wrong corporations? I’m shocked at the lack of attention to corporate censorship by the people who stand to lose the most if it becomes the new way.
Hey, they’re just out there scrapping per his reputation.
