      I mean, seriously, NYT, this shithole has been making politics toxic for my entire 50 year old life. And you make him sound like a poor misunderstood grandpapa.

      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.

          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.

          I look forward to journalists asking themselves tough questions about their closeness to Stone after he goes to jail (at least an 80% chance at this point).

          Inevitably, I think Roger Stone "gets it". What amazes me is that he has been on the loose for 50 years. He has impacted the executive branch perhaps more than anyone except Lee Harvey Oswald in the last century. The idea that he pops up in the news now and then is baffling.

          The "Lee's(sic) who have had an impact on American politics is interesting and tragic: Robert E. Lee, Lee Harvey Oswald, and Lee Atwater. Each to his own lesser or greater degree. Just a coincidence, but an interesting one to puzzle with.

          I hope one day to pass Roger Stone sitting on the sidewalk on flattened cardboard with a sign between his knees so I can find something very interesting in the middle distance as I walk by.
