Roger Stone is heard saying 'let's get right to the violence' in unearthed footage from 2020 election handed over to January 6 committee

.... In another clip from election night, Stone can be heard telling his crew that even if Trump loses, "the key thing to do is to claim victory … No we won, sorry fuck you." ....

In December 2020, within the last month of the Trump presidency, the former president pardoned Stone, who had been convicted of multiple felonies in 2019. Before Trump's pardon, a jury found Stone guilty of seven felonies which included witness tampering, obstructing Robert Mueller's 2016 Russia investigation, and making false statements. ....

Always. He became a Goldwater fan at age 12 and at age 20 he left college to work for Nixon.

He likes to puff up his Nixon credentials but he was really a peripheral upstart back then. He dropped out of college at age 20 to work on the '72 re-election campaign, and was -- despite often calling himself an advisor or aide -- a junior scheduler. He was rewarded for his campaign work with a job in the Office of Economic Opportunity (then part of the "War on Poverty" but since renamed and relocated, now called the Office of Community Services, and a part of HHS), but quit after Nixon resigned.

He looks 25 years older, at least.

Must be the lifetime of evil taking its toll.
