I’m looking into Roger Stone tonight bc his deposition is tomorrow (though he will plead the 5th). This is Interesting re: the shady Roger Stone PAC that supported Trump’s presidential aspirations in 2011. 1/ politico.com/blogs/ben-smit…
The article mentions Lynn Krogh. Does anyone know if she’s related to Egil (Bud) Krogh of Watergate infamy? 2/

2/ The bogus voter purge in 2000 improperly removed up to 12k voters from the rolls in the decisive state of Florida, which Bush won by only 537 votes. Rs have embraced broad purges ever since.
