Trump: 'Roger Stone Didn't Even Work for Me Anywhere Near the Election!'

by Tamar Auber | Jan 26th, 2019, 9:16 pm

On Saturday night President Donald Trump — who has had a prolific day on Twitter — claimed that now-indicted Roger Stone didn’t even work for him anytime near the election.

His Twitter rant appeared to be sparked by a CBS report.

“CBS reports that in the Roger Stone indictment, data was ‘released during the 2016 Election to damage Hillary Clinton.’ Oh really! What about the Fake and Unverified ‘Dossier,’ a total phony conjob, that was paid for by Crooked Hillary to damage me and the Trump Campaign?” Trump asked ...

As CNN reported on the arrest ...

The indictment’s wording does not say who on the campaign knew about Stone’s quest, but makes clear it was multiple people. This is the first time prosecutors have alleged they know of additional people close to the President who worked with Stone as he sought out WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange ...

considering how many coffee boys they had. How else could they have kept them all busy?

According to him, he had no campaign manager, advisers, friends, or anyone to help get him elected. He did it all himself!

that he's the only one that could run a campaign. He knows more about campaigns than anyone and like the rest of his life, he is the bestest at it all.

If the government shutdown is causing your paycheck to be withheld or you are adversely affected in any way, what you are about to read will make you even angrier. But keep reading for a practical lesson about the emotional power of words, especially when delivered by a showman.

When debate over “The Wall” on our southern border is finally resolved (one way or another), political scientists and strategists will study this divisive, polarizing issue at the heart of a record-setting government shutdown that started as a simple campaign concept.

After an early and wildly successful “road test” by yet-to-be-declared-candidate Donald Trump in January 2015 at the Iowa Freedom Summit, his words “I will build a wall” slowly morphed into Trump’s signature action phrase. Eventually, it became an integral part of his “brand” and a rallying cry that helped elect him the first president of the United States who had never before held political office or military rank

The genesis of Trump’s wall — initially suggested in 2014 by his first chief political strategist, Roger Stone, a name now familiar from the headlines of the Mueller investigation — has been under-reported. And when reported, according to Stone, the facts have not been entirely accurate.
