Swalwell: Prosecute Stone For Assassination Threat

The Messenger reports:

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., declared in an interview that long-time Donald Trump confidante and adviser Roger Stone should “absolutely” be prosecuted after he was apparently caught on tape discussing the assassination of Swalwell and Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y.

Stone was allegedly captured on the tape talking of the murder of the Democratic lawmakers. “Either Swalwell or Nadler has to die before the election. They need to get the message,” Stone allegedly told ex New York cop Sal Greco at a restaurant in Florida on the tape weeks before the 2020 election.

The “aim is to not just threaten — and in this case, take a specific action — but its aim is to silence Donald Trump’s critics,” said Swalwell.

Read the full article. Stone claims the tape is a deep fake. Last week it was reported that Capitol Police and the FBI are investigating.

“The message that I send to Mr. Stone is I’m not going away.”
