Roger Stone Spoke With Cop Pal About Assassinating Eric Swalwell and Jerry Nadler

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.

“It’s time to do it,” Stone told Greco. “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.”

A source familiar with the discussion told Mediate they believed Stone’s remarks were serious. “It was definitely concerning that he was constantly planning violence with an NYPD officer and other militia groups,” the source said.

Stone belongs in jail for the rest of his life. Has the DOJ investigated his connections to the Proud Boys who organized the January 6 attack?

Hung, drawn and quartered with his appendages sent to the four corners of the realm as a warning. His head on a spike at the National Mall. Reich wingers really shouldn't test us. We can be just as clever when it comes to such things.

One draft horse on each leg.

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 Trump’s fanboiz from rescuing them, and airdrop supplies from C-130s so they don’t starve to death.

have a proclivity for political and social violence (Civil War, Jim Crow, Birmingham bombers, etc.) because they know a majority of white Americans will give them a pass.

This is a tape... and why is this menace not in prison?


18 U.S. Code § 351 (d) If two or more persons conspire to kill or kidnap any individual designated in subsection (a) of this section and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each shall be punished (1) by imprisonment for any term of years or for life, or (2) by death or imprisonment for any term of years or for life, if death results to such individual.

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.

He is a real shit. Republicans need to cheat to win and have been doing it since Nixon stopping
LBJ’s 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.

until McCarthy, still an anti-war Democrat to core.

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.

Done far better than my expectations and has also faced more challenges by far.

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.

… 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.
