New video shows Roger Stone working behind the scenes to overturn the 2020 election, secure pardons.
As a mob ransacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Roger Stone, Donald Trumps longest-serving political adviser, hurried to pack a suitcase inside his elegant suite on the fifth floor of the Willard hotel. He wrapped his tailored suits in trash bags, reversed his black face mask so its Free Roger Stone logo was hidden, then slipped out of town for a hastily arranged private flight from Dulles International Airport.
I really want to get out of here, Stone told an aide, as they were filmed at the hotel by a Danish camera crew for a documentary on the veteran Republican operative. Stone said he feared prosecution by the incoming attorney general, Merrick Garland. He is not a friend, Stone said.
Stone allowed the filmmakers to document his activities during extended periods over more than two years. In addition to interviews and moments when Stone spoke directly to the camera, they also captured fly-on-the-wall footage of his actions, candid off-camera conversations from a microphone he wore and views of his iPhone screen as he messaged associates on an encrypted app. Reporters from The Washington Post reviewed more than 20 hours of video filmed for the documentary, A Storm Foretold, which is expected to be released later this year.
The footage, along with other reporting by The Post, provides the most comprehensive account to date of Stones involvement in the former presidents effort to overturn the election and in the rallies in Washington that spilled over into violence on Jan. 6.

Call the grand jury, indict him, arrest him, no bail, give him a fair trial, and lock his pompous ass up.
Stone and Oath Keeper Josha James (who just plead guilty to seditious conspiracy) on 1/6/21

(70,584 posts)Trump's pardon of Stone will not cover his actions as per 1/6/21 and the attempted coup.
I want him to die in prison.
BTW I have no doubt that he has had people killed.

crap. Gov. Dukakis met with Atwater and let him apologize.

(43,291 posts)People don't just stumble into positions of power. The pedigrees of these boffoons should be leached for connections. Nixon's political connections ran very deep. There was even one, and I'm not sure if it was rumored or actual, between Howard Hughes and Nixon's brother Donald, and a business loan. And money and Nixon always dredges up Bebe Rebozo. The Hughes reference surfaced a wee bit in the movie The Hoax, but everyone pooh-poohs such clarity. I suspect there are ghosts in that photo if good shoe leather is expended.
Botany
(70,584 posts)... was to see just how much Larry O'Brien knew about the money Nixon had taken from Howard Hughes.
If I remember right O'Brien had at one time worked for Hughes.
Ford might have done the right thing for America by pardoning Nixon and freeing up his time from dealing
with Nixon but I think the right thing to do was to prosecute Nixon for his crimes and now we have let too
many republican Presidents and administrations off the hook for their crimes. Reagan (Iran/Contra),
bush & Cheney (election rat fucking, 911, Iraq War, big branch mine, and ...), and now Trump. But they
impeached Clinton over a B.J..

(1,832 posts)One of the films by this director, Christoffer Guldbrandsen, is about the 2002 European Union enlargement, and his revelations caused the Turkish stock markets to drop around 20%. Another one examined events in Afghanistan in 2002, in which Danish soldiers handed over prisoners to the US Army, even though the Danish government was aware that American soldiers does not treat prisoners of war according to the Geneva Convention. He is very skilled to get allowed into filming people of power, but also famous for showing exactly what they do!

No analysis or opinion pieces.
This would be fine in General Discussion.
