https://www.mediaite.com/politics/exclusive-roger-stone-spoke-with-cop-pal-about-assassinating-eric-swalwell-and-jerry-nadler/Weeks before the 2020 presidential election, infamous political operative Roger Stone sat across from his associate Sal Greco at a restaurant in Florida.
At the time, Greco was an NYPD cop working security for Stone on the side. Their conversation, at Caffe Europa in Fort Lauderdale, focused on two House Democrats for whom Stone harbors particular animosity, Jerry Nadler and Eric Swalwell.
In audio of the conversation obtained exclusively by Mediaite, Stone made threatening comments about the two lawmakers.
Its time to do it, Stone told Greco. Lets go find Swalwell. Its time to do it. Then well see how brave the rest of them are. Its time to do it. Its either Nadler or Swalwell has to die before the election. They need to get the message. Lets go find Swalwell and get this over with. Im just not putting up with this shit anymore.
A source familiar with the discussion told Mediate they believed Stones remarks were serious. It was definitely concerning that he was constantly planning violence with an NYPD officer and other militia groups, the source said.

No, no
there are plenty of deserted World War II airstrips on islands in the Pacific. Put the whole Trump Bund on one, send a couple destroyers out there to keep Trumps fanboiz from rescuing them, and airdrop supplies from C-130s so they dont starve to death.

(70,614 posts)And I am sick of Stone getting away with his shit. I have always wonder is who or whom is
funding him? The man thinks he is better and smarter then anybody else but in reality he is
just a slimy crook.

BTW good to see you back at DU. Best to you.

(70,614 posts)He is a real shit. Republicans need to cheat to win and have been doing it since Nixon stopping
LBJs peace deal in Vietnam in 1968 only to sign the same deal in 1973. At least 5 million more dead
30,000 something Americans, @ least 1 million Vietnamese, various other locals, and 5 + Cambodians.
He told both the N. and South to wait until after the election and he would give em a better deal.

Every GOP administration since I became adult has been openly crime ridden and has cheated in politics.
Iran-Contra, BCCI, etc.
Think Trump guilty and evil as all get out but also the perfect patsy, as a nation Trump should not be an issue with all the shitstorms and impending shitstorms. Fuck stuff up and steal fortunes, then blame the Democrats as they clean up the mess for another cycle.
Started Cal when Reagan was governor and resigned from USFS when Reagan POTUS. Did incredible damage to both institutions.
Botany
(70,614 posts)Cheating to them is just business as usual. And the truth?
Btw Joe Biden is doing an awesome job as POTUS. Best of my lifetime.

GOP isn't trying except derail the USA for who knows what.
DU isn't exactly cordial at present.

(267 posts)And what else do they have? Was Stone being surveilled by the FBI after his sentence was commuted?
Where did these come from, and who leaked them (assuming they're legit)?
Is there a trove of all of Stone's private conversations from November of 2020 to the present?
I want to hear the ones from January 6th, 2021.

(4,463 posts)of this recording. I certainly believe Stone is capable of such things, but publishing the text of the tape without even a vague description of the origin story is sloppy journalism.
