Roger Jason Stone Jr. is an American political consultant, lobbyist, conspiracy theorist, and convicted felon. He was a lobbyist for the lobbying firm Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly, which worked with the administrations of several past presidents of the United States, as well as contacting various international leaders, including tyrannical dictators.
Crimes
Stone was arrested on January 25, 2019 at his Fort Lauderdale residence on charges of witness tampering, obstructing an official proceeding, and false statements as part of Robert Mueller's investigation into possible Russian interference in the 2016 United States presidential election. After his indictment and arrest, Roger Stone made a V-sign, similarly to how Richard Nixon did upon resignation.
Stone's antics during his period of indictment were questionable. He notably acted in a poor manner during official proceedings, although he has acted as what others call "flamboyant" long before this. He posted an Instagram post of what appeared to be the overseeing judge Amy Berman Jackson with crosshairs on her. Stone later apologized and deleted the post, stating that it was a Celtic cross. This too was questioned by many, as it is commonly used by white supremacists as a symbol. As a result of the image, Amy Berman Jackson put a gag order on Stone.
He went on trial on November 6, 2019, and was found guilty of all charges. Stone is to be sentenced some time in the future.
