The Roger Stone Acolyte Who Trolled Staten Island Politics Intelligencer 6 hrs ago James D. Walsh
Late one night in December 2017, Richard Luthmann and his wife settled into their Staten Island living room to watch a movie. Lately, Luthmann, a 38-year-old attorney, had been staying up all hours of the night, stoked by scotch and cocaine, pounding out legal briefs and public-relations work. But that night, Luthmann decided to watch
Get Me Roger Stone, a documentary about the infamous strategist whose career Donald Trump had revived. Luthmann chose the film not only because he was friends with one of its producers, local political activist Frank Morano, but also because Luthmann considered himself something of a dirty trickster.
