Roger Stone must have "something" on Trump. [View all]

Watching Trump via Barr interfere with the sentencing guidelines for Roger Stone has had me musing about the reason why.

Trump is known for having very few friends. They're either toadies, accomplices, and/or craven jocksniffers.

If Stone has a reputation for having the goods on individuals in order to carry out his "pranks," he likely also has impressive dossiers which include Trump, for insurance. Stone is evil, but not an idiot.

Trump is not interfering for rewarding loyalty. He's doing it to save his ass.
