As Stone waits for Mueller, he’s back to going out for pizza on Fridays

CNN  

Washington CNN — Roger Stone is still living in limbo. “There was a time when those prognostications really landed hard on Roger,” said Michael Caputo, a longtime friend of Stone’s and former Trump campaign aide who has been interviewed by Mueller’s investigators. ‘Financially debilitating’ The combination of keeping a legal team on standby and seeing much of his private consulting work dry up has been “financially debilitating,” Stone said. Stamped across the back of the shirts: “If I weren’t effective you wouldn’t hate me.” Stone said he has also raised thousands of dollars selling signed rocks – aka “Roger stones” – for $10 each. “He always compares himself to what happened to Paul Manafort,” Caputo said, referring to Trump’s former campaign chairman and Stone’s former business partner in the 1980s.
