I'm guessing Flynn. Maybe Manafort.
Man I hope they sing when this hits the fan.
You know they'll have no problem ratting each other out.
Even tRump can't be sleeping well now.

(34,451 posts)Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, whispering to him that he's just no good. Or maybe Barack & Joe snuck in and are making "wooooo woooooooo wooooo" noises through the heating ducts.

(111,341 posts)with him as the center of the universe. If anybody tries to haunt him, he'll interpret it as approval, it's what narcissists do.
As the nest of Russian compromised bad guys gets stripped away, he'll get more and more isolated, and that's when it will get intensely weird.

Me.

But I don't think he's as dirty as Manafort.
Give that guy some limited immunity
And he might start singing.

(115,854 posts)Like Liddy, Stone was a ratfucker from the Nixon administration; and like Liddy, Stone is kind of nuts. Liddy refused to testify to the Senate committee investigating Watergate, and I could see Stone doing something like that, too.

Big money talks.

(99,711 posts)Manafort and Carter Page are seemingly normal and would react to pressure like a normal person would.

(1,570 posts)If he thinks any of them might turn, they'll disappear. (Or "fall" out of a window which appears to be the current trend.)

(6,401 posts)Mark Felt was the one who brought down Nixon and he wasn't part of the inner circle...just someone who happened to know where all the dead bodies were buried and was pissed he was passed over. Ironic.

Volaris
(10,274 posts)Conspiracies and plotters and Obama and Hillary and Media and Ebil Liburls around every corner? Oh, hell yes.
Crying? No. Not from a man who has a tattoo of Richard Nixon between his shoulderblades. That guy is just too much of an outright sociopathic asshole for tears.

(15,290 posts)I think the clearest coordination evidence is on him what with his know interactions with Assange and Guccifer 2.0. An earlier post likened Stone to G Gordon Liddy, but Liddy was in the Army and then became career FBI. He had that "name, rank, serial number" mentality. Stone is just a dirty trickster and loyal only to himself.
As an out-of-the-box-thinking candidate, Nigel Farrange. He's been around Trump and recently visited Assange. I doubt the British establishment has much use for him and GCHQ probably wouldn't mind putting the squeeze on him.
