The Nixon Foundation launched diversionary tactics Friday to distance President Richard Nixon from GOP strategist Roger Stone. But it wasn’t so easy.
The longtime confidant of President Donald Trump was arrested Friday on criminal charges that include obstruction of an official proceeding, false statements and witness tampering. News stories indicated that Stone cut his teeth on Nixon campaigning (he has a tattoo of Nixon on his back). But the Nixon Foundation pointed out that Stone was just 16 years old during Nixon’s 1968 campaign.

This morning’s widely-circulated characterization of Roger Stone as a Nixon campaign aide or adviser is a gross misstatement. Mr. Stone was 16 years old during the Nixon presidential campaign of 1968 and 20 years old during the reelection campaign of 1972. 1/2

The foundation conceded that Stone did serve as a “junior scheduler” on Nixon’s re-election campaign while Stone was a student at George Washington University.

Mr. Stone, during his time as a student at George Washington University, was a junior scheduler on the Nixon reelection committee. Mr. Stone was not a campaign aide or adviser. Nowhere in the Presidential Daily Diaries from 1972 to 1974 does the name "Roger Stone" appear. 2/2

But Stone was widely linked to Nixon campaign “dirty tricks” by media reports at the time and made an FBI investigation report. The foundation failed to mention that — and Twitter wags were too happy to point it out.
