Roger Stone, shadowy provocateur of US politics

Roger Stone, shadowy provocateur of US politicsRoger 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.
