A nine-minute, unedited, undercover interview with Roger Stone revealed some of the MAGA ally’s more disturbing goals for a second Trump administration.

The covert recording of a discussion between Stone and an undercover journalist at a meet and greet in Jacksonville, Florida, on August 4, published by documentarian Lauren Windsor, caught Stone admitting live on camera that he already intends to send “armed guards to dispute the election in Detroit” and to imprison “former Attorney General Bill Barr if Trump returns to power.”

Under the guise of discussing a far-right program to get more like-minded people back into the federal government, Stone shared his disdain for Barr, deriding him as a “traitorous piece of human garbage.” He also lamented that, while president, “Donald Trump never controlled the Justice Department.”

      Cases like him are why we actually do need the death penalty (and why it’s the Constitutionally-prescribed punishment for treason). As we can see from Trump’s pardoning of him, any lesser punishment isn’t final enough.

        That’s what I was thinking, but you said it better than I would have. Pretty disgusting that we have the death penalty and only use it for innocent, poor, or mentally ill people while Roger fucking Stone walks. 🤮

    *Another coup. This is, what, coup #3? Brooks brothers riot in 2000, J6, and now 2024.

    What happened to punishing treasonous fuckers?

    Biden could solve a lot of problems with just a couple executive actions right now.

    The POS Stone should stand in front of mirror and say, “he has to go to prison.” That mofo is a sick lunatic neo-Nazi.

    When I think of Roger Stone, I think of the ignominiousness of Roy Cohn, and the especially ironic (and very horrible) way he died.

    Sadly, as much as I hate Roger Stone, I cannot wish that upon him. However, I do hope he does meet at least an equal amount of irony in his demise.

    Edit: for the curious, check out Angels in America. Be prepared to cry.

    Watching that video, Stone is either in the midst of a mental health crisis or has had a generous helping of Bolivian marching powder. Either way, what a weirdo.

    I see several comments wondering why Stone hasn’t been put in prison. He was, but Trump pardoned him (and a bunch of others)

    From his Wikipedia page:

    On January 25, 2019, Stone was arrested at his Fort Lauderdale, Florida, home in connection with Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel investigation and charged in an indictment with witness tampering, obstructing an official proceeding, and five counts of making false statements. In November 2019, a jury convicted him on all seven felony counts. He was sentenced to 40 months in prison. On July 10, 2020, days before Stone was scheduled to report to prison, Trump commuted his sentence. On August 17, 2020, he dropped the appeal of his convictions. Trump pardoned Stone on December 23, 2020.
