Roger Stone's woes: He's broke. Donald Trump doesn't call. And his wife broke her ankle.



Roger Stone's woes: He's broke. Donald Trump doesn't call. And his wife broke her ankle.
In a wide ranging interview with SiriusXM’s “Jim Norton & Sam Roberts” Roger Stone said his living situation has plummeted, his savings are gone and his car was impounded.


Things are not going well for Roger Stone.

In a wide ranging interview with SiriusXM’s “Jim Norton & Sam Roberts” on Thursday he said his living situation has plummeted, his savings are gone and his car was impounded.

When money problems forced Stone and his wife to move from a Fort Lauderdale mansion to a one-room apartment the truck slipped out of gear and broke his wife’s ankle.

And he’s no longer talking to his old friend, President Donald Trump.

Stone is being prosecuted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office. He was arrested on Jan. 25 and charged with witness tampering, obstruction and false statements about his interactions related to the release of stolen Democratic Party emails by WikiLeaks.

He’s under a gag order from the federal judge in the case, prohibiting him from talking about it, something Stone said has made his financial situation more difficult.

“The worst part of this is being broke,” he said on the SiriusXM program that airs weekdays on the Faction Talk channel 103.

“I’ve lost my home, my insurance, what little savings I had, my ability to make a living because people pay me to write and talk, and of course the things they want me to write and talk about are the very things I’m not allowed to talk and write about. In the blink of an eye you can lose everything.

“I have to pay everything I have to lawyers. And I could no longer pay the rent in the property that I was in. I moved from a nine-bedroom house to a one-bedroom apartment. Had to do the move myself with my wife renting a truck. On the last day of the move in kind of a freak accident the truck slips out of gear and rolls over my wife’s ankle, breaking it.”

If you’re living in a $9500 a month house and you have very little savings, you’re doing it all wrong.

The three-bedroom, three-bath house is two stories with a pool. It has space to dock a boat in the canal. Its rent in the multiple listing service used by real estate brokers is $9,500 a month.

The Broward County Property Assessor’s Office shows the property has a market value of $1.6 million and is owned by someone who lives in Gainesville, Ga.

Google "bottom feeding" for proven tips on living at the margins of the urban economy. Your sharp elbows will serve you well in competing against others with nothing left to lose.

Call the wambulance.

What just desserts he’s having to dine on. The heartless sociopath brought low after ruining so many other’s lives. This is more delicious than watching him twist in the wind while the crows pick out his eyes. The dead cannot feel pain, but Stone is reaping a small part of his vast karmic debt. Let there be more and worse to come.

Yo, Roger, that's what you get when you put your trust in an amoral, self-centered con man whose promises aren't worth the paper they're printed on.

Sounds a little suspicious to me. Or maybe he "forgot" to set the hand brake? And newer rental work trucks generally don't "slip" out of gear. Most all are automatic, for one thing. You have to leave them in neutral or drive with the engine running for them to run out off on you. Have to put in park to torn the engine off. Sounds bogus.
