Roger Stone Distances Himself From 'Stop the Steal' and Insurrection After WaPo Documentary Bombshel

[Ohio Joe]

Roger Stone, whose decades of political work have earned him a reputation as the Republican Party’s “dirty trickster,” played a central role in the attempt to overturn the 2020 election results and was the architect of the #StopTheSteal campaign, The Washington Post revealed Friday.

The D.C. newspaper’s reporters gained exclusive access to video footage shot by Danish filmmakers for a yet-unreleased documentary titled A Storm Foretold. Clips of the film were published to support the Post’s assertions that Stone played the role of puppeteer in the crucial weeks after Joe Biden’s victory over Donald Trump.

“We are relaunching Stop the Steal,” he told an associate by phone, after instructing them to gather news headlines that would cast doubt on the validity of the election.

The footage also showed how Stone was quick to walk away from the chaos when words inspired action and the coordinated political campaign of lies led to its inevitable conclusion: Thousands of violent Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol building. A dramatic video clip shows a disappointed Stone packing his bags at a hotel to leave Washington as rioters descended on the seat of Congress.

5. "...a disappointed Stone packing his bags..." They misspelled "delighted".

Stone's job was done once he had initiated the insurrection. He was just retreating to safety.

6. Does that mean he'll end his $250 per person Re-awaken America tour?

In our area, suckers already lost their $250 when the event got cancelled and moved to a different location.

9. Ya,.. well I gut snuz for ya,...

Roger Stone could just give a sweet fucking fuck,...

Roger will go score another one of thems trDUMP full blanket pardons.

Oh wait,.. forget it,... trDUMP never got that 2nd presidential term.

Poor Roger......
That Fucking Fascist Re-Thug Operative role Roger played for decades did his resume no benefit or good anyways and then he transformed himself into a circus clown act of sorts,.. again that was not a plus or positive move non his behalf.

These arrogant Fascists,... they don't know well enough to keep their Nazi blabbering mouths shut. Invariably they talk,.. and they end up putting shoes,.. theirs socks,.. their winter boots,.. their cowboy boots,... and finally their slippers all in their mouths. They their final act,... they shoot themselves in the foot. Talk about diarrhea of the mouth. These Fascists always walk away with the blabber mouth booby prize all the time. They just can't help it.

Have you ever see Roger Stone give a court deposition ?

You talk about contentious, you talk about obstinant, you talk about recalcitrant,... Roger Stone wrote and edited that book.

10. Stone first used "Stop the Steal" in 2016 when he thought Clinton would beat Trump.

It was a lie then, and still is.
He can't distance himself from it, it's bonded to him like superglue.
Actions have consequences even for people like Roger Stone.
I hope they get him this time.

11. Wish I could rec this a million times.

Few things could make me happier than to see Roger Stone go to prison.

12. The first pardoned man to die in prison...

Unless Bannon beats him to it

13. "Stone said he feared prosecution ... " IOW Stone knew what he was doing and had done was illegal

"Stone said he feared prosecution ... " IOW Stone knew what he was doing and had done on 1/6/21 ...

.... was illegal. And he admitted to it on tape. “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. From the Washington Post


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

15. +1: I hope you die in prison you malignant old fucker.

16. I hope this gets aired. The BBC aired a film after Bushie's election which described the

voting manipulations by the GOP to make Democrat turnout
difficult or impossible. That film wasn't shown here, at least I
never saw it. Even if some techniques are outdated, GOP
Preference for selective voting could be proven for back when
and be brought up to date with subsequent maneuvers.

17. Allowed a film crew to follow him
