The loyal Trump adviser is under police investigation yet again.

The Capitol Police are reportedly investigating remarks made by Roger Stone, after explosive audio revealed the longtime Trump ally tried to plot the assassinations of two Democratic congressmen.

The FBI is aiding with the investigation, Mediaite reported Tuesday, citing anonymous sources.

A few weeks before the 2020 election, Stone told a member of his security detail that he wanted either Representative Eric Swalwell or Representative Jerry Nadler (or both) killed, according to audio obtained by Mediaite. Just a few months prior, Nadler had announced that the House Judiciary Committee, on which he and Swalwell serve, would investigate Trump’s decision to commute Stone’s sentence for federal crimes.

“It’s time to do it,” Stone told Sal Greco, then a member of the NYPD who was working as Stone’s security. “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.”

    Any rank and file citizen would be in jail already. But I’m ok with them getting the evidence and assuring that the trial happens flawlessly. Of course this all happened in 2020, so the principle of ‘justice delayed, is justice denied’, certainly comes to mind.

      You’re forgetting the fact that Trump has made it clear that he is not above pardoning his allies. Stone can rest assured that whatever jail he ends up in, if Trump is re-elected he is getting another pardon.

      I prefer “The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine”

      It’s keeping me sane
