Kelly and the firm was renamed Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly in 1984.[7]:124 During the 1980s, BMSK leveraged its "White House connections" to attract "high-paying clients" including "U.S. corporations", "trade associations", and foreign governments. By 1990, it was "one of the leading lobbyists for American companies and foreign organizations".[7]:125

Stone has variously been referred to in media as a "political dirty trickster," a "renowned infighter," a "seasoned practitioner of hard-edged politics," and a "veteran Republican strategist."[8][9][10][11][12][13] Over the course of his political career, Stone has been widely regarded as promoting a number of falsehoods and conspiracy theories.[22] Stone is the subject of a Netflix documentary film, titled Get Me Roger Stone, which focused on his past and role in the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump.[23] Stone left the Trump campaign on August 8, 2015.
