2020 began well and ended badly for many people. It was the opposite for Roger Stone of Fort Lauderdale. Convicted in late 2019 of seven federal charges in connection with the Mueller investigation, he received a Christmas week 2000 pardon from President Donald Trump, giving him reason to celebrate. He was having a martini before Palm Beach County Republican Party’s Lobsterfest fundraiser in Boca Raton on Aug. 15, 2019, where he was the keynote speaker. (Anthony Man / South Florida Sun Sentinel)
