    Said Stone: “It’s time to do it. Let’s go find Swalwell. It’s time to do it. Then we’ll see how brave the rest of them are. It’s time to do it. It’s either Nadler or Swalwell has to die before the election. They need to get the message. Let’s go find Swalwell and get this over with. I’m just not putting up with this shit anymore.”

          The FBI literally prosecuted him and won a conviction, after which he was pardoned.

      Another good one

      The intervention from the Justice Department prompted Aaron Zelinsky, the prosecutor and Mueller deputy who led the case against Stone, to recuse himself from the case in protest. Mediaite reported last week that Stone was caught on tape in December 2020 urging Greco to “punish” Zelinsky.

      “He needs to be punished,” Stone told Greco in the audio. “You have to abduct him and punish him. That has to be done. It will be easy to abduct him because he is a weakling.”

        Democratic Representatives in the House:

        Both Nadler and Swalwell serve on the House Judiciary Committee. At the time of the Caffe Europa conversation, Nadler had announced the committee would be investigating then-President Donald Trump’s decision to commute Stone’s sentence after he was convicted of federal crimes in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.

          Yeah but Octavius had a defective chip attached to his brain. Stone is a defective chip dangling from the asshole of America.

    Stone was convicted on 7 felonies. Donnie commuted his sentence before he went to prison, then brought him back into his campaign pre-election, and coup plotting team post election.

    claiming they were generated by AI

    Flood gates are open. You can get someone dead to rights on recorded audio/video and they’ll just weasel right out of it with the “AI” defense.
