Stone has known for some time he would most likely face multiple indictments
For all of the TrumpDoubters, this story is also over @ Faux Nuwz
Roger Stone indicted on several charges as part of Mueller’s Russia collusion probe
from WIKI:
Stone's political career began in earnest on the 1972 Nixon campaign, with activities such as contributing money to a possible rival of Nixon in the name of the
Young Socialist Alliance – then slipping the receipt to the
Manchester Union-Leader. He also hired a spy in the
Hubert Humphrey campaign who became Humphrey's driver. According to Stone, during the day he was officially a scheduler in the Nixon campaign, but "By night, I'm trafficking in the black arts. Nixon's people were obsessed with intelligence."
[37] Stone maintains he never did anything illegal during
Watergate.

After Nixon won the
1972 presidential election, Stone worked for the administration in the
Office of Economic Opportunity. After Nixon resigned, Stone went to work for
Bob Dole, but was later fired after columnist
Jack Anderson publicly identified Stone as a Nixon 'dirty trickster'.
[38]
In 1975, Stone helped found the
National Conservative Political Action Committee, a
New Right organization that helped to pioneer
independent expenditure political advertising.
[39]
In 1976, he worked in
Ronald Reagan's campaign for president. In 1977, at age 24, Stone won the presidency of the
Young Republicans in a campaign managed by his friend
Paul Manafort;
they had compiled a dossier for each of the 800 delegates that gathered, which they called "whip books".
