The Despicable History of Roger Stone
The standard FBI booking form filled out after Roger Stone’s arrest included a notation of any “scars, marks, tattoos,” in his case a large portrait of a smiling Richard Nixon etched on his back.
The visage between 66-year-old Stone’s shoulder blades attests to his role nearly a half century ago as a junior participant in the dirty tricks that eventually led to the Watergate scandal and Nixon’s resignation.
A description of the tattoo now became part of the official record of his arrest stemming from allegedly being a senior participant in dirty tricks on behalf of the current president, who increasingly seems to be in serious trouble.
