The loyal Trump adviser is under police investigation yet again.
The Capitol Police are reportedly investigating remarks made by Roger Stone, after explosive audio revealed the longtime Trump ally tried to plot the assassinations of two Democratic congressmen.
The FBI is aiding with the investigation, Mediaite reported Tuesday, citing anonymous sources.
A few weeks before the 2020 election, Stone told a member of his security detail that he wanted either Representative Eric Swalwell or Representative Jerry Nadler (or both) killed, according to audio obtained by Mediaite. Just a few months prior, Nadler had announced that the House Judiciary Committee, on which he and Swalwell serve, would investigate Trump’s decision to commute Stone’s sentence for federal crimes.
“It’s time to do it,” Stone told Sal Greco, then a member of the NYPD who was working as Stone’s security. “Let’s go find Swalwell. It’s time to do it. Then we’ll see how brave the rest of them are. It’s time to do it. It’s either Nadler or Swalwell has to die before the election. They need to get the message. Let’s go find Swalwell and get this over with. I’m just not putting up with this shit anymore.”

Any rank and file citizen would be in jail already. But I’m ok with them getting the evidence and assuring that the trial happens flawlessly. Of course this all happened in 2020, so the principle of ‘justice delayed, is justice denied’, certainly comes to mind.
I prefer “The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine”
It’s keeping me sane
I would love to see consequences happen, but we seem determined to slow walk ourselves into a fascist dictatorship by never letting anybody get punished for obviously fascist things.
It’s American tradition. FDR cut a deal with American fascists in the 1930s. And we’re still suffering for it today. And when I say American fascists, I of course mean Republicans.
The FBI is Trump Central, I hope the Capitol Police aren’t relying on them too much.
I’m going to buy the bar a round of drinks the day he dies
Given the typical longevity of right-wing pieces of shit, you’ll die before he does.
Good for the police.
It’s was just a prank dude!
police just now discover roger stone’s wealth.
When are these jackholes gonna start screaming “deep fakes” when shit like this is released? I feel like it has to be on the horizon if it hasn’t happened yet.
He already did. Yet it’s entirely within Stone’s character to say and do this.
