The link is The Hill’s coverage of the story that broke in this morning’s Post.
Roger Stone on tape, actively participating in and coordinating the “big lie” effort.
These include knowledge of the plot to remove senior officials from the Justice Department and replace them with flunkies before Jan 6th.
”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.”
And the obvious way that they intended to use the Stop the Steal campaign as yet another way to get trump nation to empty their wallets:
“In another video, Stone directs an aide to resurrect his Stop the Steal campaign, even as he publicly sought to distance himself from others involved. Another organizer, Ali Alexander, was also subpoenaed by the committee.
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.”
And then there is Stone’s ignominious run away from the riot he helped premote.
”Before the riot, Stone spoke at a rally in D.C. on Jan. 5, flanked by members of the far-right Oath Keepers group that have since been charged with seditious conspiracy. One of the men, Joshua James, pleaded guilty this week and agreed to cooperate with authorities.
But things began to unravel on Jan. 6. The video shows Stone complaining he wasn’t getting VIP treatment as organizers apparently sought to block him from speaking.
However, once the Capitol riot was underway, Stone seemed to change his tune, and also attempted to dodge the filmmakers.
In the video reviewed by the Post, Stone is seen saying the Capitol riot was “really bad” for Trump’s movement and left Washington, D.C., on a private plane on Jan. 6, 2021.”
