Donald Trump took care of Roger Stone’s extensive criminal problems. Trump had to. Mueller and the DOJ had proven that Stone lied and evaded during various investigations, especially about what Stone knew regarding Wikileaks and any connection Wikileaks might have had with the campaign and-or the Russian government. The speculation is that Trump had to pardon Stone, more than anyone else, Trump had to pardon Stone, because – speculation – Stone is the one who could have put Trump in serious criminal jeopardy, tying the collusion knot in as few as two to three sentences.

But presidential pardons don’t work on civil suits for back taxes. The legendary “trickster” didn’t come up with anything very original in his “tricks” used against the IRS. From Rawstory:

“The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump‘s ally and confidante Roger Stone on Friday, alleging that Stone avoided paying about $2 million in taxes and fees to fund his “lavish lifestyle.”

“The suit claims that Stone and his wife Nydia Stone used the company Drake Ventures as an “alter ego” to avoid paying $1,590,361.89 in taxes, interest and fees for the tax years 2007 to 2011, along with another $407,036.84 for the 2018 tax year.

“The complaint goes on to note that Drake Ventures is “dominated and controlled” by the Stones to such an extent that it “does not exist as an independent entity,” with the company having no website or phone number and the Stones’ private residence listed as the address. Nydia Stone is said to be listed as the managing member of Drake Ventures, while all other members are also members of the Stone family.”

Yeah, sneaky. Like the IRS has never seen that before. Dump all the family’s assets into a front company, while keeping the liabilities in the family to reduce tax debt. How could the IRS ever have figured out what was going on? Pffft.

But now Stone needs money and whenever a MAGA hero needs money, he turns to …the MAGAs, of course. Stone is the ultimate victim, read this pathetic man’s words as he pleads like a blubbering baby:

“Because, by the grace of God, I escaped the devilish deadly snare set for me by Congressman Adam Schiff and Robert Mueller’s dirty cops, the hysterical demand for my blood on Twitter has reached epic proportions. There are literally thousands of butthurt leftists screaming for my blood- despite the total lack of evidence that I knew about or was involved in this appalling act of lawlessness.

“That’s why I need your help. Please contribute to the STONE LEGAL DEFENSE FUND to help prepare to fend off this malicious assault on me once again.

“We lost our home, our savings, my car and most of our insurance in my epic fight for freedom list year. Being banned for life on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram has made it virtually impossible to sell my books online- my main source of income in the two years in which I awaited trial. I simply do not have the personal resources to fight yet another legal battle where I have done nothing whatsoever wrong.”

We feel so bad for him! It sounds awful. We cannot decide if we feel bad for them. One might think that Stone could again threaten to reveal some information if Trump doesn’t help cover the costs – though that would bring up a lot of questions. But, Trump has already done Stone a favor, if Stone gets too aggressive and is always wanting favors? Sometimes weird things happen to people like that. Best to just get the money from the MAGAs who sympathize with those who are clearly victimized by the swamp.

Peace, y’all
