Eric Swalwell: "Prosecute Roger Stone For Planning To Murder Me"

The Intellectualist
January 20, 2024


Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is calling for Roger Stone, a long-time adviser to former President Donald Trump, to face prosecution for allegedly plotting to assassinate him.

The assertion follows the emergence of a tape where Stone is purportedly heard discussing plans to assassinate Swalwell and Representative Jarrold Nadler, also a Democrat from New York, per "The Messenger."

The tape, allegedly capturing Stone's conversation with former New York police officer Sal Greco, reveals Stone talking about murdering the Democratic lawmakers, a shocking revelation that has stirred the political landscape.

"Either Swalwell or Nadler has to die before the election. They need to get the message," Stone is heard saying on the tape, recorded weeks before the 2020 election.
His words, "It's time to do it. Let's go find Swalwell....then we'll see how brave the rest of them are," indicate a chilling resolve.

Wishes he was a criminal mastermind. Instead he's a wannabe, piss poor terrorist, thinking we'll all flee like roaches before his "power".

I'm glad they didn't murder those innocent men but he sounds determined on the tapes.

I wonder what stopped him?

…I’m old enough to remember when he and his first wife were exposed as “swingers,” placing personal ads for sex with other couples and single men. But what else would you expect from a Trump associate?

They use people like things and care not a whit for the damage they cause.

This is Roger Stone, introduced to Trump by Roy Cohn during the 1980 Reagan campaign.

Roy fcking Cohn.

As for perverts and perversion — Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell, too. Using people like things,

If this was not the US, but he did the same thing in say Europe or Asia, would he be considered/charged as a terrorist?
