New evidence details Roger Stone's efforts against 2020 election New video evidence from a documentary in the making about Roger Stone offers new details about his involvement in efforts to undermine the results of the 2020 presidential election, according to The Washington Post, which reviewed more than 20 hours of film. Stone, a longtime political adviser to former President Trump, is having a documentary made of him called “A Storm Foretold.” A Danish film crew has followed him around the past two years to produce the film. Video from the crew shows Stone involved in numerous aspects of the Trump campaign to unwind the election, including knowledge of a plot to oust Justice Department leadership days before it was publicly reported. It shows him communicating by encrypted messaging app with Stewart Rhodes, leader of the Oath Keepers, and maps his movements at the Willard Hotel with members of the far-right group by his side as his security guards. It details more about his campaign to secure pardons before leaving office – including a plot to secure preemptive pardons for lawmakers who voted against certification of the election results. https://thehill.com/policy/national...oger-stones-efforts-against-2020-electionwapo Lordy, There Are Video Tapes Of Roger Stone, 1/6, Plus The "Stone Plan" For Pardons https://www.dailykos.com/stories/20...ger-Stone-1-6-Plus-The-Stone-Plan-For-Pardons Roger Stone Caught Calling Trump ‘Greatest Single Mistake’ in U.S. History, Report Says https://www.thedailybeast.com/roger...n-us-history-in-documentary-video-report-says In one section, filmed on Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day, the Post reports that Stone can be seen in a car with the filmmakers when he lets rip on Trump. After describing his ally as America’s worst ever mistake, Stone said Trump would regret failing to pardon himself, saying: “A good, long sentence in prison will give [Trump] a chance to think about it, because the Southern District is coming for him, and he did nothing.” After his rant, Stone is reported to have turned to the filmmakers and said: “Obviously if you use any of that, I’ll murder you.” Why would a savvy political operative like Stone allow himself to be filmed doing and saying these things? No idea. Really, not a clue. The kinds of creepy, unethical, un-American things Roger does are best kept secret, done from the shadows. The idea we will be able to sit down with a Coke and buttered popcorn and watch him do Roger is a colossal lapse of his judgement. Especially considering his role in 1/6. I just want to know where to buy my ticket.
You know the answer, Lee. Trump is very, very good at manipulation. Now, comes along this guy you describe as "savvy political operative" and he permits cameras and microphones to follow him around for X number of hours/days/months, etc. What comes next? Sales. Lots of them. RWingers want to know what he said so they can bash him as a "Never Trumper" and LWingers want to watch in glee with that "told you so!" grin. Sales go through the roof and Orange Jesus gets a cut on the backend. Basic Economics - Create a Demand - Supply it.
Oh look another Trump thread. Are Americans left behind Taliban lines because of Roger Stone? Nope. Did Roger cause more Covid deaths under Biden than Trump? Nope.
Speaking of turning a profit............ Stone likewise asks the aide to recruit retired law enforcement and military personnel for the effort. The clip shows how Stone thought of the campaign against the election as a money earning situation. Stone told an aide in reported messages that his brand will get “quite a bit hotter” and he's “going to raise money from Stop the Steal — it will be like falling off a log.” As we know, Don fleeced members of The Following by soliciting contributions from them for his fraudulent efforts to the tune of over $100M.
Trump is not president. This thread is not about "whether trump is a crook or not and belongs in prison"... it is about another fake news WaPo articles about a secret documentary that ,once again, only THEY have seen and they , once again, are giving their biased opinion But we will make our own assessment when or if it comes out... another hit job... ""The footage, along with other reporting by The Post, provides the most comprehensive account to date of Stone’s involvement in the former president’s effort to overturn the election and in the rallies in Washington that spilled over into violence on Jan. 6."" ""The filmmakers did not capture conversations between Stone and Trump"" Really ... 20 hours of video and not one clip of him on the phone? Stone email... “Any claim, assertion or implication that I knew about, was involved in or condoned the illegal acts at the Capitol on Jan 6 is categorically false and there is no witness or document that proves otherwise,” he wrote.
How Trump, RNC raised hundreds of millions pushing baseless election fraud claims Pro-Trump forces have amassed bulging post-election campaign accounts by exploiting baseless claims of widespread voter fraud to solicit money for former President Donald Trump's "Election Defense Fund" -- but despite the stated purpose, Trump's team has spent a relatively small amount actually fighting the election results. In fact, more than $100 million has instead gone toward various fundraising expenses and advertising efforts aimed at raising even more money, records show. https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-rnc...s-pushing-baseless-election/story?id=75633798 Stone was right.
The part that gets me is he stole from his own donors and his other supporters still get hot under the collar if anybody dare say anything negative about their Orange Stain. Despicable.
It’s been apparent for at least a couple months that the former administration, a faction of the Republican Party and their donors conspired to defraud the United States. It’s so outrageous we’re having difficulty reconciling our belief about our country and the reality of it. If past is prologue get ready for the deluge of brooms because sweeping it under the rug is likely all our psyche can handle.
Yet another fake news hit piece from the left Yawn You have to ask yourself this question. How many times are you willing to run up the hill every time the little boy cries wolf just to get egg on your face yet again? Apparently, there is no number yet. lol
