Mediaite reports that right-wing dirty trickster and Trump ally Roger Stone is now under investigation from Capitol Police after he was caught in a recording ranting about the need to assassinate Reps. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and Eric Swalwell.

...................

Mediaite last week published a recording of Stone ranting to a security guard about killing Nadler and Swalwell ahead of the 2020 presidential election.


"Either Swalwell or Nadler has to die before the election," Stone said in the recording. "They need to get the message. I'm just not putting up with this s--t anymore."

Mediaite's source for the recording told the publication that Stone's rants about assassinations were not a "one-off conversation" and were not made "in jest."


Stone first insisted that the recording Mediaite reported on didn't exist, and then insisted that it was a fake generated by artificial intelligence after it was published.

1. Lock this jerk up and throw away the key.

3. Question is if the pardon the Con gave him will cover this

Or is he prosecutable.

[Maraya1969]

4. The pardon was not for attempted murder. I don't see how it could be relevant

That would be the same as Stone being about to order seal team 6 to kill his political rivals.

7. He was pardoned for things he did in 2016.

The pardon has no bearing on the threats against Swalwell and Nadler.

9. Good! I hope the DOJ w nail him.

[Novara]

2. I'm glad to see they're not doing nothing.

Frankly, I expected they wouldn't bother. Death threats are so damn commonplace now.

We need to hear more about going after ALL of these fuckers who toss death threats around. ALL of them. There has to be consequences.

5. I have waited for RS to come to the attention of authorities.

This is one development that should move the ball.

I can see it now, giving testimony against tfg to try stay free.

6. A special kind of evil.

[LudwigPastorius]

8. I don't know why Raw Story put assassination in scare quotes.

Having congressmen assassinated was exactly what Stone was proposing.
