Roger Stone: Trump interviewed Romney to "torture" him

Source: The Hill

Roger Stone, a longtime adviser to Donald Trump, says the president-elecrt interviewed Mitt Romney for the secretary of State position just to "torture him" for his former criticism.

In an appearance on InfoWars Sunday, Stone said Trump had been toying with Romney.

"Donald Trump was interviewing Mitt Romney for Secretary of State in order to torture him," Stone said on InfoWars. "To toy with him. And given the history, that's completely understandable. Mitt Romney crossed a line. He didn't just oppose Trump, which is his democratic right, he called him a phony and a fraud. And a con man. And that's not the kind of man you want as Secretary of State."

Stone, a longtime political operative who has Richard Nixon's face tattooed on his back, left Trump's campaign last year and does not have a position on the transition. Stone plans to write a book on Trump's rise to the White House.

Ah... fly on the wall. Chris Christie is looking like Trump (chump) change. Rather not be there!

Alexsei''s doing well. He will need a couple more surgeries, though.

The kid is a sophmore in high school, if you can believe it.

Romney was never going to get the position, I don't know why he'd even agree to meet with Trump.

He obviously can't stand up for his own principles, or he never really had any, take your pick.

Giuliani "took himself out" in late November, announced it several days ago. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-giuliani-trump-secretary-of-state-20161209-story.html

Christie has been offered several posts and refused them. http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2016/12/christie_turned_down_job_in_trump_white_house_repo.html


Both Christie AND Giuliani are former Attorneys General--prosecutors who worked closely with the FBI.

I think someone in the NY FBI office waved them off. Run, Forrest, RUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!!!


Now, the question is--what does the FBI know about TRUMP, and why aren't they saying anything? Are the senior leaders in that outfit Russian assets?
