Roger Stone, who was arrested in Florida on Friday for lying to Congress about his work for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, has made a career of breaking the rules as a Republican election consultant and self-avowed dirty trickster. A foppish dandy who sports a tattoo of his political hero Richard Nixon between his shoulder blades, the 66-year-old Stone avoided running afoul of the law over decades of helping crush Democrats with artful ruses and fake news, long before that term came in vogue. It could be a death blow to the career of Stone, the shadowy Machiavelli of US politics who may finally have taken a step too far.
