- 0:18Speaker 2: This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone. People love
- 0:21Speaker 2: him and respect him. Roger Stone. Now, give him his own.
- 0:26Speaker 2: It's The Stone Zone. Here's Roger Stone.
- 0:30Speaker 3: Welcome. You are now entering the Stone Zone. Do you
- 0:34Speaker 3: remember Cassidy Hutchinson? I don't blame you if you don't,
- 0:36Speaker 3: but Cassidy Hutchinson was one of the star witnesses for
- 0:40Speaker 3: the January 6th committee, a farce in which Nancy Pelosi,
- 0:44Speaker 3: the Speaker of the House, appointed a committee with no
- 0:48Speaker 3: Trump-supporting Republicans in an effort to frame Donald Trump regarding
- 0:52Speaker 3: January 6th. Cassidy Hutchinson specifically said in her sworn testimonies,
- 0:57Speaker 3: that the White House Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, that
- 1:00Speaker 3: was her boss, ordered her to call Roger Stone and
- 1:04Speaker 3: General Michael Flynn on January 5th to find out what
- 1:08Speaker 3: was going to happen on January 6th. There was only
- 1:11Speaker 3: one tiny problem. There never was any such phone call.
- 1:14Speaker 3: The truth is, I don't think I've ever communicated with
- 1:17Speaker 3: Mark Meadows. I may have met him once in the
- 1:19Speaker 3: green room at Fox back when he was a congressman.
- 1:22Speaker 3: and before Donald Trump was president. But I didn't communicate
- 1:25Speaker 3: him on that day or any other day. I checked
- 1:27Speaker 3: with General Flynn, and he didn't either. So that testimony,
- 1:32Speaker 3: which was riveting on public television, was a complete and
- 1:35Speaker 3: total lie. It was perjury, false statements, false statements to Congress,
- 1:40Speaker 3: what they specifically falsely accused me of. She also went
- 1:43Speaker 3: on to say that Meadows had intended to attend a
- 1:48Speaker 3: meeting in a war room at the Willard Hotel on
- 1:52Speaker 3: the evening of January 5th, that she had dissuaded Meadows
- 1:57Speaker 3: from going there. Those allegedly there included Mayor Rudy Giuliani,
- 2:02Speaker 3: Steve Bannon, and others, and that she persuaded Meadows to call,
- 2:08Speaker 3: once again, Roger Stone and General Flynn to get a
- 2:10Speaker 3: download on how the meeting had gone. Well, first of all,
- 2:13Speaker 3: if there was any such war room at the Willard
- 2:16Speaker 3: Hotel on the eve of January 6th, I don't know
- 2:19Speaker 3: about it, and I certainly was never in one. Plus,
- 2:22Speaker 3: I don't think I'd be in the same room with
- 2:23Speaker 3: Steve Bannon, in all honesty. And then secondarily, there was
- 2:27Speaker 3: no such call to ask for. So those are two
- 2:29Speaker 3: material lies designed to hook General Flynn and I into
- 2:33Speaker 3: the January 6th conspiracy. Now, what's incredible, and she also
- 2:37Speaker 3: went on to tell us a tall tale about Donald
- 2:39Speaker 3: Trump in his limousine in the backseat, but trying to
- 2:43Speaker 3: grab the steering wheel and get control of it from
- 2:45Speaker 3: a Secret Service agent when they refused to take him
- 2:48Speaker 3: to the Capitol. That has been completely and totally debunked
- 2:51Speaker 3: as well. Interestingly enough, Hutchinson went back, which you can do,
- 2:55Speaker 3: and she altered her sworn testimony several times in an
- 2:59Speaker 3: effort to avoid a perjury indictment. But it turns out
- 3:03Speaker 3: she didn't need to be too worried because it's also
- 3:05Speaker 3: placed in D.C. A grand jury has now declined to
- 3:09Speaker 3: indict former White House staffer Cassidy Hutchinson on her testimony
- 3:12Speaker 3: about President Trump's alleged conduct during the January 6th riots
- 3:16Speaker 3: of Capitol Hill in 2021. The Justice Department sought to
- 3:20Speaker 3: prosecute Hutchinson for reasons that have not been made clear
- 3:23Speaker 3: due to the confidentiality of the case, but President Trump
- 3:26Speaker 3: and I, among others, have previously accused her of lying
- 3:29Speaker 3: under oath during a testimony about January 6th before the
- 3:32Speaker 3: House Committee. I just specified very specifically the lies you
- 3:35Speaker 3: told about me and General Flynn. Now, sources close to
- 3:39Speaker 3: the case confirmed to the Associated Press that the grand
- 3:43Speaker 3: jury in D.C. has declined to prosecute while providing very
- 3:46Speaker 3: few details. A grand jury in Washington, D.C. has rejected
- 3:50Speaker 3: the prosecutor's request to return an indictment against Cassidy Hutchinson,
- 3:54Speaker 3: said the people who spoke to the Associated Press on
- 3:56Speaker 3: condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to publicly discuss
- 4:00Speaker 3: the case. Details of prosecutors' allegations against Hutchinson were not
- 4:04Speaker 3: immediately clear, but Republican lawmakers have accused her about lying
- 4:08Speaker 3: under oath in her explosive testimony in 2022 about the
- 4:11Speaker 3: president's specific behavior. You'll remember this. She described an angry,
- 4:16Speaker 3: defiant president who was trying to let armed protesters avoid
- 4:20Speaker 3: security screens at a rally that morning to protest his
- 4:23Speaker 3: 2020 election defeat, and who later grabbed at the steering
- 4:26Speaker 3: wheel the presidential SUV when the Secret Service refused to
- 4:29Speaker 3: let him go to Capitol Hill. And when the events
- 4:32Speaker 3: at the Capitol spiraled towards violence, with the crowd chanting,
- 4:35Speaker 3: hang Mike Pence, she testified that Trump declined to intervene. Hutchinson,
- 4:40Speaker 3: as I say, did admit during testimony that she was
- 4:43Speaker 3: only relaying information she had obtained from a House security official,
- 4:47Speaker 3: White House security official, emphasizing these were not her personal eyewitnesses.
- 4:52Speaker 3: So in other words, it was what they call hearsay.
- 4:55Speaker 3: All of her testimony was hearsay. In the case of
- 4:57Speaker 3: her charges against me and General Flynn, they were completely fabricated,
- 5:01Speaker 3: I suspect, by Liz Cheney, who coached her through those
- 5:05Speaker 3: false statements. President Trump has called Cassidy Hutchinson a total phony.
- 5:09Speaker 3: and bad news, denying her allegations. Back in 2024, House
- 5:13Speaker 3: Republicans also released a transcript of the January 6th committee's
- 5:17Speaker 3: interview with the Secret Service officer who drove the presidential
- 5:20Speaker 3: SUV that day, which contradicted most of Hutchinson's claims. While
- 5:24Speaker 3: the driver did say that President Trump was insistent about
- 5:27Speaker 3: going to the Capitol during the riot, He rejected any
- 5:30Speaker 3: claim that the president tried to grab the steering wheel.
- 5:33Speaker 3: I didn't see him, you know, a lunge to try
- 5:35Speaker 3: to get into the front seat at all, the driver said. Now,
- 5:38Speaker 3: according to Fox News, the federal grand jury had heard
- 5:41Speaker 3: evidence concerning possible false statements Hutchinson made to the congressional committee.
- 5:45Speaker 3: The grand jury's decision not to indict Hutchinson does not
- 5:48Speaker 3: establish whether her congressional testimony was truthful or false. Hutchinson
- 5:52Speaker 3: has previously maintained that she stands by her testimony. It added, Now,
- 5:56Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of the Justice Department's actions so
- 5:58Speaker 3: far against James Comey, John Brennan, Eric Swalwell and others.
- 6:02Speaker 3: But I think in all honesty, in this case, they
- 6:05Speaker 3: got it wrong. The evidence against Scott C. Hutch is real.
- 6:08Speaker 3: And she was an important tool of those waging lawfare
- 6:11Speaker 3: on President Trump following the events of January 6th. Her
- 6:14Speaker 3: lies were used to build a false narrative in Congress
- 6:17Speaker 3: and in the media. Among her most outrageous claims, repeated
- 6:21Speaker 3: as a fact by media outlets that never bought the check,
- 6:23Speaker 3: was her testimony under questioning by Liz Cheney that President
- 6:27Speaker 3: Trump instructed, as I say, Mark Meadows, to call me
- 6:30Speaker 3: and General Flynn on the evening of January 5th to
- 6:32Speaker 3: find out what was going to happen on January 6th.
- 6:35Speaker 3: That was her impression, she said, that those calls were completed.
- 6:38Speaker 3: Here's the actual exchange from January 28th. Liz Cheney. So,
- 6:42Speaker 3: the night before January 6th, President Trump instructed Chief of
- 6:44Speaker 3: Staff Mark Meadows to contact both Roger Stone and Michael
- 6:47Speaker 3: Flynn regarding what would play out the next day.
- 6:50Speaker 4: Ms.
- 6:51Speaker 3: Hutchinson, is it your understanding that President Trump asked Mark
- 6:54Speaker 3: Meadows to speak with Roger Stone and General Flynn on
- 6:56Speaker 3: January 5th? Hutchinson says, that's correct. That's my understanding. Now,
- 7:01Speaker 3: Liz Cheney says, and Ms. Hutchinson, is it your understanding
- 7:05Speaker 3: that Mr. Meadows called Mr. Stone on the 5th? Hutchinson said,
- 7:08Speaker 3: I'm under the impression that Mr. Meadows did complete both
- 7:11Speaker 3: a call to Mr. Stone and General Flynn on the
- 7:15Speaker 3: evening of January 5th. Do you know what they talked
- 7:18Speaker 3: about that evening? Cheney asks Hutchinson. Hutchinson says, I'm not sure.
- 7:23Speaker 3: This is a lie. There never were any such calls.
- 7:27Speaker 3: There are no phone records to support the claim. Neither
- 7:30Speaker 3: General Flynn or I have ever spoken or communicated, as
- 7:32Speaker 3: I say, with Meadows. As I said, I think I
- 7:35Speaker 3: met him once back when he was a congressman. That's
- 7:37Speaker 3: the full extent of our contact. General Flynn has confirmed
- 7:40Speaker 3: to me that he's never had any phone conversation with
- 7:42Speaker 3: Meadows either. So there was no call on January 5th,
- 7:45Speaker 3: no coordination, and no discussion of what would happen the
- 7:48Speaker 3: next day. A secondary claim about the so-called war room
- 7:52Speaker 3: at the Willard Hotel, to get this exactly right, Cheney says,
- 7:55Speaker 3: is your understanding that Mr. Giuliani, Mr. Eastman, that's John Eastman,
- 7:59Speaker 3: the attorney, who I've never met, and others have set
- 8:02Speaker 3: up what we call a war room in the Willard
- 8:04Speaker 3: Hotel on the night of the 5th. Hutchison says, I
- 8:07Speaker 3: was aware of that. the night of the 5th. Now
- 8:10Speaker 3: Cheney says, how do you know if Mr. Meadows ever
- 8:13Speaker 3: intended to go to the Willard Hotel on the night
- 8:15Speaker 3: of the 5th? And Hutchison says, Mr. Meadows had a
- 8:19Speaker 3: conversation with me that he wanted to work with Secret
- 8:21Speaker 3: Service on a movement from the White House to the
- 8:23Speaker 3: Willard Hotel so he could attend a meeting or meetings
- 8:26Speaker 3: with Mr. Giuliani and his associates in the war room.
- 8:30Speaker 3: Now Cheney says, and what was your view as to
- 8:32Speaker 3: whether Mr. Meadows should go to the Willard that night?
- 8:36Speaker 3: Hutchinson says, I made it clear to Mr. Meadows that
- 8:38Speaker 3: I didn't believe it was a smart idea for him
- 8:39Speaker 3: to go to the Willard Hotel that night. I wasn't
- 8:42Speaker 3: sure that everything was going on in the Willard Hotel,
- 8:43Speaker 3: although I knew enough about Mr. Giuliani's associates were pushing
- 8:47Speaker 3: towards this period. I assume she's referring to an effort
- 8:50Speaker 3: to delay the certification of the election. But then again,
- 8:53Speaker 3: I wouldn't know because I wasn't in any war room.
- 8:56Speaker 3: I don't think it was something appropriate for the White
- 8:57Speaker 3: House chief of staff to attend or to consider involvement
- 9:00Speaker 3: in and made that clear to Mr. Meadows. This is
- 9:03Speaker 3: Hutchinson speaking. So throughout the afternoon, he mentioned a few
- 9:06Speaker 3: more times going to the Woodland Hotel that evening, and
- 9:08Speaker 3: eventually he dropped the subject the night of the 5th
- 9:11Speaker 3: and said that he would just dial in instead. She
- 9:13Speaker 3: then claimed she talked Meadows out of attending in person,
- 9:17Speaker 3: and he later got a briefing from Stone and Flynn.
- 9:18Speaker 3: There's her second big lie regarding me. There is no
- 9:21Speaker 3: such telephonic briefing. How could I brief somebody about a
- 9:24Speaker 3: meeting I was never in? I'm never aware of a
- 9:27Speaker 3: war room. It's interesting that the Washington Post later confirms
- 9:31Speaker 3: that among those who were in a war room, They
- 9:34Speaker 3: cannot confirm my attendance because, frankly, I wasn't there. I
- 9:38Speaker 3: gave a speech on the night of the 5th. I
- 9:41Speaker 3: would urge you to go look at it on YouTube
- 9:42Speaker 3: because I specifically called on those in Washington to avoid
- 9:46Speaker 3: being baited into violence. But strangely, YouTube took that down.
- 9:51Speaker 3: So I think this is outrageous. It is perfectly clear
- 9:55Speaker 3: that Cassidy Hutchinson lied under coaching by Liz Cheney. and
- 10:00Speaker 3: lied about the president's conduct on the January 6th. She
- 10:04Speaker 3: has avoided indictment. This proves to us again that we
- 10:08Speaker 3: have a two-tiered justice system. In the meantime, I thought
- 10:13Speaker 3: it was a brilliant idea President Donald Trump announced that
- 10:16Speaker 3: anyone who who reports voter fraud, whether from past elections
- 10:19Speaker 3: or the upcoming November 3rd elections, will receive $ 1 million
- 10:24Speaker 3: if the tip leads to an arrest and a conviction.
- 10:27Speaker 3: The statement came one week after Election Day and it
- 10:30Speaker 3: stepped up federal efforts to obtain state voter registration data
- 10:34Speaker 3: and examine potentially ineligible voters. A number of big blue
- 10:38Speaker 3: states still continue to hand over their voter lists to
- 10:40Speaker 3: the Department of Justice so that they may be matched
- 10:42Speaker 3: against lists of known illegal immigrants. President Trump said the
- 10:47Speaker 3: award applies to both historical and current cases. Some Democrat
- 10:51Speaker 3: state election officials have warned that the announcement could generate
- 10:54Speaker 3: unsubstantiated claims and complicate local administration. But that sounds like
- 10:59Speaker 3: just another smokescreen meant to keep the fraud under wraps
- 11:02Speaker 3: that they rely upon to win their elections. offer places
- 11:07Speaker 3: a concrete financial incentive on producing prosecutable evidence rather than
- 11:12Speaker 3: anonymous social media accusations. Federal investigators have already charged dozens
- 11:16Speaker 3: of non-citizens in multiple states for illegal voting or false
- 11:20Speaker 3: citizenship claims in recent election cycles. While the million-dollar figure
- 11:25Speaker 3: is paid from personal funds, a designated program or some
- 11:29Speaker 3: other mechanism has not been detailed. So the announcement itself
- 11:33Speaker 3: signals the administration intends to treat documented illegal voting as
- 11:37Speaker 3: a priority that carries real consequences for those who are convicted.
- 11:41Speaker 3: Democrats' rigging apparatus has shown itself almost despicably in 2020,
- 11:45Speaker 3: is getting shut down, and they know it. Any Democrat
- 11:48Speaker 3: fraudsters who are considering any changes next week may take
- 11:51Speaker 3: Trump's offer as a deterrent. Meanwhile, the FBI has searched
- 11:56Speaker 3: the Beverly Hills mansion of billionaire donor Eric Swalwell. Remember him?
- 12:01Speaker 3: He was the guy who accused me of being a
- 12:04Speaker 3: Russian agent for almost two and a half years as
- 12:07Speaker 3: a member of the House Intelligence Committee. Ultimately, he was
- 12:10Speaker 3: forced out of a race for governor of California after
- 12:14Speaker 3: accusations of sexual assault and harassment. Swalwell, you may recall,
- 12:20Speaker 3: was also connected to a Chinese communist spy named Fang
- 12:24Speaker 3: Fang that he was having a sexual relationship with. I
- 12:28Speaker 3: would say that he penetrated Fang Fang, and Fang Fang
- 12:30Speaker 3: penetrated his office, putting two employees into the congressman's office,
- 12:35Speaker 3: significant because Eric Swalwell was a member of the House
- 12:38Speaker 3: Intelligence Committee, where he was entitled to all of the
- 12:42Speaker 3: classified documents. We now know that Swalwell spent time at
- 12:47Speaker 3: this property before leaving Congress. The FBI confirmed the operation
- 12:51Speaker 3: in which they raided this home in D.C., It's connected
- 12:55Speaker 3: to a current probe of Swalwell's activities. It is clear
- 13:01Speaker 3: that he is finished politically. What I don't understand is
- 13:04Speaker 3: when he left Congress and decided to run for governor,
- 13:07Speaker 3: it looked like he began taking style tips from Steve Bannon.
- 13:10Speaker 3: In other words, he stopped bathing, he stopped shaving, he
- 13:13Speaker 3: stopped washing his hair. I guess there are some who
- 13:15Speaker 3: can think that the wino-sheep look has some constituency within
- 13:20Speaker 3: the Democrat primary, but Swalwell ended up dropping out of
- 13:23Speaker 3: the race. over questions of his legality as a candidate,
- 13:27Speaker 3: didn't really have a home in California, as well as
- 13:31Speaker 3: the allegations of sexual assault. I'm Roger Stone. You're listening
- 13:34Speaker 3: to Stone Zone. Don't go away because we'll be right back.
- 13:39Speaker 1: The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple
- 13:43Speaker 1: Podcast Network.
- 13:45Speaker 2: The Stone Zone This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
- 13:58Speaker 4: Roger Stone, who's a very, very, one of the smartest
- 14:01Speaker 4: political minds. Roger Stone was persecuted. People forget he's actually
- 14:05Speaker 4: a brilliant, brilliant political analyst.
- 14:07Speaker 2: Now, give him a zone. It's The Stone Zone. Here's
- 14:11Speaker 2: Roger Stone.
- 14:13Speaker 3: Welcome back into The Stone Zone. You may recall after
- 14:17Speaker 3: the first round of the presidential race in Brazil, when
- 14:20Speaker 3: Senator Flavio Bolsonaro son of the former president, imprisoned President
- 14:26Speaker 3: Jair Bolsonaro, won the first round. I predicted that President Lula,
- 14:32Speaker 3: a communist, would win the second round. I was told
- 14:35Speaker 3: by a number of conservatives I was wrong. But that's
- 14:38Speaker 3: exactly what happened. It's an old trick. I remember when
- 14:41Speaker 3: the Democrats lost the governorship of Connecticut and they figured
- 14:45Speaker 3: it out. They got a court to order the polling
- 14:48Speaker 3: places in Bridgeport to remain open for an additional three
- 14:51Speaker 3: hours while they rounded up enough votes to steal the governorship.
- 14:55Speaker 3: Pretty much the same thing happened in Brazil in their election.
- 14:59Speaker 3: when the government, the Supreme Court, which is headed by
- 15:04Speaker 3: President Lula's former personal attorney and a true tyrant named Moraes,
- 15:09Speaker 3: ordered the polls in certain precincts opened so that the
- 15:13Speaker 3: election could be stolen from the younger Bolsonaro. What's even
- 15:18Speaker 3: more shocking is, within hours of the election being over,
- 15:22Speaker 3: they ordered Flavio Bolsonaro's passport to be revoked, and they
- 15:27Speaker 3: set out to arrest him for objecting to the election result. Unfortunately,
- 15:33Speaker 3: Marco Rubio and Donald Trump were two steps ahead. Senator
- 15:36Speaker 3: Flavio Bolsonaro was extracted from Brazil, flown first to Argentina,
- 15:43Speaker 3: then from Argentina to Ecuador, and from Ecuador to the
- 15:46Speaker 3: United States. The senator landed in Miami after the Brazilian
- 15:50Speaker 3: federal police had seized his airport and tried to impose
- 15:53Speaker 3: travel restrictions following his narrow departure. runoff defeat, this is
- 15:58Speaker 3: an outrage. Of course, Lula is taunting Donald Trump on video,
- 16:05Speaker 3: and it's very clear that nothing will be done in
- 16:09Speaker 3: this particular instance. There is little question, however, that people
- 16:12Speaker 3: need to understand that this arresting of any critic of
- 16:17Speaker 3: the Lula government, whether they're intellectuals, whether they're artists, whether
- 16:22Speaker 3: they're political figures, or whether there are members of parties
- 16:26Speaker 3: other than President Lula's. There is no question that Brazil
- 16:30Speaker 3: is the most authoritarian regime now in our hemisphere, and
- 16:34Speaker 3: it is good to see President Trump's willingness to receive
- 16:37Speaker 3: Bolsonaro because it's consistent with his earlier decisions to offer
- 16:41Speaker 3: refuge to political figures facing prosecution from left-wing governments. In
- 16:46Speaker 3: a tragic case, Flavio's father, Jair, the former president, is
- 16:50Speaker 3: already still behind bars under dubious circumstances. President Trump was
- 16:55Speaker 3: right to take action to make sure the same cannot
- 16:57Speaker 3: be done to his son, in my view. Before long,
- 16:59Speaker 3: hopefully Flavio will be able to make his heroic return
- 17:02Speaker 3: to Brazil to liberate his people from the tyranny they
- 17:05Speaker 3: are enduring. Lula is an international criminal, similar to Nicolas Maduro,
- 17:09Speaker 3: and taking intervention to remove him under the Monroe Doctrine
- 17:12Speaker 3: would not be a bad idea. Meanwhile, 175 House Democrats
- 17:18Speaker 3: demand a halt to Ilhan Omar's investigation before the midterms.
- 17:22Speaker 3: How convenient. now that we are hitting pay dirt, proving
- 17:26Speaker 3: that she lied on the naturalization papers, and the government
- 17:29Speaker 3: of Somalia is refusing to cooperate in the investigation, it's
- 17:34Speaker 3: very clear that we're on the road to not only
- 17:36Speaker 3: expelling her from the Congress, but also shipping her back
- 17:40Speaker 3: where she came from. If you came to the United
- 17:42Speaker 3: States illegally, if you lied on your naturalization documents, you
- 17:46Speaker 3: should be held responsible. 175 House Democrats don't think so.
- 17:51Speaker 3: I wonder why. I'm Roger Stone. Listen to Stone Zone.
- 17:54Speaker 3: Don't go away because I'll be right back.

- 18:03Speaker 4: The Stone Zone.
- 18:13Speaker 2: This is the Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
- 18:17Speaker 4: Roger Stone, who's a very, very, one of the smartest
- 18:20Speaker 4: political minds. Roger Stone was persecuted. People forget he's actually
- 18:24Speaker 4: a brilliant, brilliant political analyst.
- 18:26Speaker 2: Now, give him a zone. It's the Stone Zone. Here's
- 18:30Speaker 2: Roger Stone.
- 18:32Speaker 3: Welcome back into the Stone Zone. A third federal case
- 18:36Speaker 3: against former FBI Director James Comey, which was unsolved Monday.
- 18:41Speaker 3: centers once again on evidence that the former FBI director
- 18:46Speaker 3: allegedly directed his staff to leak classified information to the press. Now,
- 18:50Speaker 3: what's significant is that he testified before Congress very specifically
- 18:55Speaker 3: and asked that question, whether he had ever shared data
- 18:59Speaker 3: with a third party and directed them to leak that
- 19:01Speaker 3: to the media, and he said no. There is, as
- 19:05Speaker 3: we know, the case that was brought in the Eastern
- 19:07Speaker 3: District of Virginia. ultimately dismissed, not because it was adjudicated,
- 19:13Speaker 3: but because the judges objected to the appointment of the
- 19:18Speaker 3: temporary U.S. attorney, Lindsey Halligan. The criminal information filing submitted
- 19:23Speaker 3: to the court by prosecutors earlier this month and made
- 19:25Speaker 3: public this past Monday contains allegations that Comey communicated or
- 19:30Speaker 3: transmitted national defense information to an individual not cleared to
- 19:35Speaker 3: receive it, in this case, a reporter. The new case,
- 19:38Speaker 3: filed under seal on October 5th in federal court in Washington, D.C.,
- 19:42Speaker 3: also includes charges alleging that Comey conspired with others to
- 19:46Speaker 3: leak the information. It alleges that Comey, through one or
- 19:50Speaker 3: more conspirators, directed a person only identified in the documents
- 19:54Speaker 3: as individual number one to disclose the information to a
- 19:58Speaker 3: reporter of a national news publication. Prosecutors later identified the
- 20:03Speaker 3: unnamed reporter as Charlie Savage of the New York Times,
- 20:07Speaker 3: according to an October 23rd government filing which was unsealed
- 20:11Speaker 3: along with the criminal information filing. The story referenced in
- 20:15Speaker 3: the case is Savage's October 5th, 2016 article headline, Yahoo
- 20:20Speaker 3: said to have aided U.S. email surveillance by adapting spam filter,
- 20:25Speaker 3: which describes how Yahoo complied with a secret foreign intelligence
- 20:29Speaker 3: surveillance court order to scan customers' emails. The United States
- 20:34Speaker 3: investigation has uncovered evidence that former FBI director James B. Comey,
- 20:39Speaker 3: the Cardinal, they called him, sought to correct misinformation which
- 20:43Speaker 3: had appeared in the press by way of Reuters the
- 20:45Speaker 3: day before. Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Dustin Farinock wrote in
- 20:50Speaker 3: subsequent filings that the investigation uncovered evidence that Mr. Comey
- 20:55Speaker 3: directed staff to speak to Mr. Savage in the New
- 20:57Speaker 3: York Times about specific accuracy concerns related to the Reuters
- 21:02Speaker 3: article and thereby alluded to the transfer of classified information.
- 21:07Speaker 3: So you see what we have here is a classic
- 21:09Speaker 3: example of Comey, who is without any question one of
- 21:13Speaker 3: the biggest criminals in the Obama directed Russian collusion hoax.
- 21:19Speaker 3: And this incredible hypocrisy. I saw him on video yesterday
- 21:24Speaker 3: once again saying the charges against him are political. U.S.
- 21:28Speaker 3: District Judge Trevor McFadden unsealed this case against Comey on
- 21:32Speaker 3: Monday at Comey's request, writing that criminal charges against the
- 21:35Speaker 3: former FBI director for his conduct while in office are
- 21:39Speaker 3: of significant public interest. Comey, who has, of course, denied
- 21:43Speaker 3: all wrongdoing in the three cases pending against him, of course,
- 21:46Speaker 3: responded in that video post I saw yesterday. Well, they're
- 21:50Speaker 3: back again, he said. It would almost be funny if
- 21:53Speaker 3: it weren't such an appalling abuse of the Department of
- 21:55Speaker 3: Justice one that we cannot become numb to. I'm still innocent.
- 21:59Speaker 3: I'm still not afraid of these people. This is the
- 22:01Speaker 3: guy who, on the one hand, says he's nonpolitical. On
- 22:04Speaker 3: the other hand, was seen wearing a Kamala Harris for
- 22:06Speaker 3: President t-shirt in one of his videos. A federal felony
- 22:12Speaker 3: charge is ordinarily brought by a grand jury indictment. A
- 22:15Speaker 3: criminal information filing, which is what we have here, by contrast,
- 22:19Speaker 3: is filed by prosecutors alone without a grand jury's vote
- 22:22Speaker 3: or a judge's finding a probable cause. Comey cannot face
- 22:25Speaker 3: trial on criminal information alone unless he waives indictment. The
- 22:29Speaker 3: Justice Department said it filed the information on the anniversary
- 22:32Speaker 3: article to keep the 10-year statute of limitations from expiring
- 22:36Speaker 3: while it continues to pursue the case. This is a
- 22:39Speaker 3: very clever move by Attorney General Todd Blanche. Comey's lawyers
- 22:43Speaker 3: moved earlier this month to dismiss the case entirely, arguing
- 22:47Speaker 3: that both counts are based exclusively on the October 5, 2016,
- 22:50Speaker 3: alleged disclosures exactly 10 years before the government filed their
- 22:55Speaker 3: criminal information. The applicable statute of limitations explicitly demands an
- 23:00Speaker 3: indictment within 10 years of the offense. An information filing
- 23:03Speaker 3: does not suffice, they wrote. An indictment fundamentally different from
- 23:07Speaker 3: an information filing. The judge hasn't ruled on that motion.
- 23:11Speaker 3: Comey's attorney, Patrick Fitzgerald, a former U.S. attorney, a big,
- 23:15Speaker 3: deep stater, said the leak had already been examined and
- 23:18Speaker 3: closed twice. His most recent case involves an October 5, 2016,
- 23:22Speaker 3: New York Times article that two different teams of prosecutors
- 23:26Speaker 3: investigated during the first Trump administration, Fitzgerald said. Both times,
- 23:30Speaker 3: the government determined that no charges should be brought against anyone.
- 23:34Speaker 3: Just the news, however, previously reported by declassified FBI memos
- 23:39Speaker 3: detailed in tropic vortex, a classified leak investigation that then U.S.
- 23:44Speaker 3: Attorney John Durham and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service opened
- 23:49Speaker 3: back in March of 2017. The D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office
- 23:53Speaker 3: later took it over and declined to prosecute. That was
- 23:55Speaker 3: January of 2020. The timing of those memos line up
- 23:58Speaker 3: with the information provided in the unsealed court documents this week,
- 24:02Speaker 3: but it's not clear if both are referring to the
- 24:04Speaker 3: same articles. The memos say Tropic Vortex, centered on an
- 24:09Speaker 3: October 2016 New York Times article, that cited two government sources,
- 24:13Speaker 3: one of them at that time FBI General Counsel James Baker,
- 24:17Speaker 3: another key player in the Russian collusion hoax. The USPIS
- 24:22Speaker 3: investigation also revealed that Baker disclosed U.S. government classified information
- 24:27Speaker 3: in the New York Times under the belief that he
- 24:29Speaker 3: was ultimately instructed and authorized to do so by the
- 24:32Speaker 3: FBI director, James Comey. For example, during interviews, Baker indicated
- 24:37Speaker 3: the FBI chief of staff, James Rybicki, instructed him, Baker,
- 24:41Speaker 3: to disclose the information in the New York Times, and
- 24:44Speaker 3: Baker understood that Rybicki was conveying this instruction and authorization
- 24:49Speaker 3: from Comey. Therefore, when Comey testified to Congress under oath
- 24:53Speaker 3: saying he had never given permission or instructed any third
- 24:57Speaker 3: party to leak classified information, he was lying. What I
- 25:01Speaker 3: don't understand, since Comey and I were both charged with
- 25:04Speaker 3: the exact same crime, is why James Comey was given
- 25:07Speaker 3: 10 days after they announced his indictment to turn him
- 25:12Speaker 3: in privately with his attorney. In other words, why didn't
- 25:15Speaker 3: 29 heavily armed FBI agents... brandishing fully automatic, semi-automatic assault rifles,
- 25:22Speaker 3: surround his home at 6 o'clock in the morning with
- 25:26Speaker 3: a Fox television crew in tow, because that's how they
- 25:30Speaker 3: treated me. Clearly, we were charged with the exact same crime,
- 25:35Speaker 3: but we did not face arrest in the same way.
- 25:38Speaker 3: To me, there is a perfect example of the two-tiered
- 25:42Speaker 3: justice system. These new charging documents don't really name who
- 25:46Speaker 3: individual won or the alleged co-conspirators and prosecutors have said
- 25:50Speaker 3: whether the case grows out of a tropic vortex or not.
- 25:53Speaker 3: Comey's first indictment was back in September of 2025. It
- 25:57Speaker 3: also centered on media leaks. It charged that he lied
- 26:00Speaker 3: to Congress in 2020 when he denied authorizing anyone at
- 26:03Speaker 3: the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports.
- 26:06Speaker 3: Sources previously reported the person Comey allegedly authorized was his
- 26:11Speaker 3: friend in FBI special government employment, Daniel Richman. Richman told
- 26:16Speaker 3: agents in a separate leak probe, codenamed Arctic Haze, that
- 26:20Speaker 3: he had communicated with the New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt,
- 26:23Speaker 3: a guy who, by the way, got a Pulitzer Prize
- 26:25Speaker 3: for his coverage of the Russian collusion hoax, and should
- 26:28Speaker 3: now take that prize and give it back. If it's
- 26:31Speaker 3: not given back, well, it should be taken from him.
- 26:33Speaker 3: It turns out that everything he wrote turned out to
- 26:35Speaker 3: be wrong. The Russian collusion hoax is the biggest single
- 26:39Speaker 3: abusive power and dirty trick in American political history. In
- 26:43Speaker 3: this case... it's very clear that Richmond leaked the stories
- 26:47Speaker 3: to Michael Schmidt of the New York Times in direct
- 26:50Speaker 3: violation of the law and contrary to Comey's sworn testimony.
- 26:56Speaker 3: So the real question you have to ask here is,
- 26:58Speaker 3: in the end, will any of these people who engaged
- 27:02Speaker 3: in the greatest criminal conspiracy in the country's history in
- 27:06Speaker 3: terms of abuse of power, will any of them actually
- 27:09Speaker 3: face justice? As you know, we have a grand jury
- 27:14Speaker 3: in South Florida that is trying to make a case
- 27:17Speaker 3: on seditious conspiracy. The biggest problem for bringing any of
- 27:21Speaker 3: these people, whether it is Obama or Biden or Susan Rice,
- 27:25Speaker 3: the National Security Advisor at the time, or General James Clapper,
- 27:29Speaker 3: the Director of National Intelligence, the aforementioned FBI Director James Comey,
- 27:35Speaker 3: or CIA Director John Brennan, he's the guy who knew
- 27:39Speaker 3: that the so-called Steele dossier was a fraud, but still
- 27:43Speaker 3: put it in the president's daily intelligence brief to create
- 27:47Speaker 3: the rationale for the appointment of Robert Mueller as a
- 27:50Speaker 3: federal special prosecutor to try to destroy Donald Trump in
- 27:55Speaker 3: his first term, almost destroyed me in his wake. Will
- 27:59Speaker 3: any of these people ultimately be held accountable? The problem
- 28:04Speaker 3: is that in many cases, the statute of limitations has run.
- 28:08Speaker 3: In other words, their time barred. The only case that
- 28:13Speaker 3: would be different would be a seditious conspiracy case. In
- 28:18Speaker 3: other words, if you could prove that there was one
- 28:20Speaker 3: seditious conspiracy that began in July of 2016, takes us
- 28:26Speaker 3: all the way through the Russian collusion hoax, two, we
- 28:30Speaker 3: now know, completely phony impeachment attempts on Donald Trump, the
- 28:36Speaker 3: after the 2020 election, the so-called documents case where they
- 28:41Speaker 3: raided President Donald Trump's home, I believe to get back
- 28:45Speaker 3: documents that proved their involvement in the Russian collusion hoax,
- 28:50Speaker 3: and then arctic frost attempting to blame President Donald Trump
- 28:54Speaker 3: for the actions of January 6th. Whether anybody here is
- 28:57Speaker 3: going to be held to account remains to be seen.
- 29:03Speaker 3: I will be keeping an eye on all these Comey cases.
- 29:05Speaker 3: Comey is a key figure in the deep state, and
- 29:07Speaker 3: his face will say a lot about what the nation
- 29:11Speaker 3: is about to happen and the sabotage of the presidency
- 29:14Speaker 3: under Donald Trump and what I've called, again, the single
- 29:17Speaker 3: greatest dirty trick in American political history. Meanwhile, detransitioner Zoran
- 29:23Speaker 3: Alcaldo said Monday that she tried to attend a CNN
- 29:27Speaker 3: town hall with Democrat Texas president Candidate James Tallarico, the
- 29:32Speaker 3: earliest one, the organizer told her she could not participate
- 29:36Speaker 3: the night before the event. Aldaco, who is suing as
- 29:41Speaker 3: a therapist and counsel providing regarding the double mastectomy she
- 29:45Speaker 3: received to resemble a man, told podcast host Katie Miller
- 29:49Speaker 3: she was hoping to question Tallarico on his stance regarding
- 29:52Speaker 3: so-called gender-affirming care. She went on testosterone for a time
- 29:57Speaker 3: under her own care. He needs to have a long-form conversation,
- 30:00Speaker 3: a real face-to-face with somebody like me, Al Daco said,
- 30:04Speaker 3: according to Fox News. I tried when he did the
- 30:06Speaker 3: CNN town hall where he did Prove Me Wrong, Steve
- 30:09Speaker 3: Crowder format, engaging with constituents, right? He tried to get
- 30:13Speaker 3: me in that room to talk to him about this
- 30:15Speaker 3: issue and be able to give him my message through conversation,
- 30:18Speaker 3: which I think is most effective. They actually didn't get
- 30:21Speaker 3: back to us until the evening before and said, no,
- 30:23Speaker 3: we can't have you in the room. See, what's going
- 30:24Speaker 3: on here is James Tallarico is a strong supporter of
- 30:27Speaker 3: taxpayer financing transition, gender transition of our children. But now
- 30:32Speaker 3: he's trying to reposition himself as a moderate. This is
- 30:36Speaker 3: like him saying at one time that Jesus Christ was binary.
- 30:39Speaker 3: He's often said that there are seven or eight genders.
- 30:45Speaker 3: So he's backed off all of these claims in an
- 30:48Speaker 3: effort to appear more moderate. And the polls have continued
- 30:52Speaker 3: to show an exceedingly close race in Texas. Now, you
- 30:56Speaker 3: can see why in the CNN Tower Hall, Tallarico would
- 30:59Speaker 3: not want somebody who is transgendered in the room asking
- 31:04Speaker 3: him about that because of his past record in legislature
- 31:08Speaker 3: and his past public support for taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries. This
- 31:14Speaker 3: has become a very big issue. I have a hard
- 31:16Speaker 3: time believing... that in very red Texas, that this race
- 31:20Speaker 3: is as close as it is. Once again, I want
- 31:24Speaker 3: to warn you about these betting sites, whether it's Kaoshi
- 31:27Speaker 3: or whether it's Polymarket. This is not polling. This is entertainment. So,
- 31:33Speaker 3: for example, about three or four days ago, there was
- 31:37Speaker 3: a 67% probability, according to Polymarket, that James Talrico would
- 31:42Speaker 3: win the Texas Senate race. Once again, this is not
- 31:46Speaker 3: a poll poll. a legitimate poll of a subset of
- 31:50Speaker 3: Texas voters drawn scientifically and conducted with the proper methodology.
- 31:55Speaker 3: This is an entertainment site in which people place bets
- 31:59Speaker 3: based on the day's news or how they feel. And therefore,
- 32:03Speaker 3: I think there's much too much being read into this
- 32:07Speaker 3: as these polls across the country, as the bend markets
- 32:13Speaker 3: seem to be taking the place of legitimate polling. Polls
- 32:17Speaker 3: seem to claim, in some cases, that Tallarico has a
- 32:19Speaker 3: commanding lead. I beg to differ. A real polling shows,
- 32:23Speaker 3: despite his historically favorable condition for Democrats, Democrats are polling
- 32:27Speaker 3: about even with Republicans. In the end, I think that
- 32:30Speaker 3: the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, will pull this race out.
- 32:36Speaker 3: In a state like Texas, the idea that James Tallarico, who,
- 32:39Speaker 3: by the way, is a vegan, among other things, based
- 32:43Speaker 3: on their results on betting sites, is going to win.
- 32:46Speaker 3: It's absolutely wrong. I'm Roger Stone. We're talking politics right
- 32:50Speaker 3: here in the Stone Zone. Don't go away because we'll
- 32:52Speaker 3: be right back.
- 32:55Speaker 1: The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple
- 32:59Speaker 1: Podcast Network.
- 33:00Speaker 2: The Stone Zone. This is The Stone Zone with Roger Stone.
- 33:14Speaker 4: Roger Stone, who is a very, very, one of the
- 33:16Speaker 4: smartest political minds. Roger Stone was persecuted. People forget he's
- 33:20Speaker 4: actually a brilliant, brilliant political analyst.
- 33:22Speaker 2: Now, give him a zone. It's The Stone Zone. Here's
- 33:26Speaker 2: Roger Stone.
- 33:29Speaker 3: I'm Roger Stone, and we're back in The Stone Zone.
- 33:32Speaker 3: You know, if there is any villain here in the
- 33:34Speaker 3: Obama-Biden days, there's no bigger villain than John Brennan. John
- 33:39Speaker 3: Brennan was the former CIA director who actually converted to
- 33:42Speaker 3: radical Muslim when he was the CIA station chief in Riyadh,
- 33:48Speaker 3: according to at least two witnesses, including the former FBI
- 33:52Speaker 3: counterterrorism expert John Guandolo. Monday on MSNBC, which now calls
- 33:58Speaker 3: itself MSNOW, former CIA director John Brennan said that President
- 34:03Speaker 3: Donald Trump and Attorney General Child Blanchard are attempting to, quote, until, unquote,
- 34:08Speaker 3: the 2026 midterm elections. Brennan said, well, the office of
- 34:12Speaker 3: the presidency has tremendous authorities that can use the executive
- 34:16Speaker 3: branch as we've seen, whether it be the Department of
- 34:18Speaker 3: Justice or ICE or other elements of the Department of
- 34:21Speaker 3: Homeland Security to disrupt the day of the election or
- 34:24Speaker 3: to actually challenge the certification afterwards. So I think Donald
- 34:28Speaker 3: Trump is, unfortunately, going to do whatever it takes to
- 34:30Speaker 3: get away with it. And unfortunately, we have people like
- 34:32Speaker 3: Todd Blanche, who I think is just showing how devious
- 34:35Speaker 3: a lawyer is by trying to to defend the indefensible,
- 34:38Speaker 3: because the things he's been saying on the talk shows
- 34:40Speaker 3: this weekend, I think, certainly show that he has an
- 34:43Speaker 3: unprincipled view and attitude towards his job as Attorney General.
- 34:46Speaker 3: This would be lackable if it wasn't so serious. Brennan
- 34:51Speaker 3: then added, these elections are so critically important, and it's
- 34:54Speaker 3: rather curious as to why all elections that go Donald
- 34:57Speaker 3: Trump's way, he has no problems with, in terms of
- 35:00Speaker 3: saying that they were fraudulently achieved. Anytime it goes against him,
- 35:04Speaker 3: or his preferred outcome, he claims fraud. He claims a
- 35:07Speaker 3: rigged election. He claims some type of interference. So again,
- 35:09Speaker 3: it just shows that Donald Trump has no interest in
- 35:12Speaker 3: a clear outcome of the election. What he's looking for
- 35:16Speaker 3: is any ways that he can tilt it towards the Republicans.
- 35:18Speaker 3: This is Brennan that I'm quoting, who continue to bow
- 35:22Speaker 3: in genuine respect to him, remaining in control of the
- 35:24Speaker 3: House as well as the Senate. By the way, it's
- 35:26Speaker 3: almost certain that Brennan himself perjured himself before the House
- 35:29Speaker 3: Intelligence Committee in May of 2017, at a minimum, when
- 35:32Speaker 3: he denied any knowledge of the origins of the phony
- 35:36Speaker 3: Steele dossier. That was the fake report that accused Donald
- 35:39Speaker 3: Trump of dallying with Russian prostitutes while visiting Moscow as
- 35:43Speaker 3: a private businessman. We now know that that report was
- 35:46Speaker 3: a fraud, commissioned and paid for by Hillary Clinton. But
- 35:49Speaker 3: the point is, John Brennan knew that in 2017, and
- 35:55Speaker 3: Andrew Weissman, who was the de facto head of the
- 35:58Speaker 3: Mueller investigation, knew it back when he was the general
- 36:01Speaker 3: counsel to the FBI. So both of them lied under
- 36:06Speaker 3: oath about this, but it was Brennan who then forced
- 36:11Speaker 3: the Steele dossier assessment that the Russians were attempting to
- 36:15Speaker 3: influence the 2016 election, specifically via the Trump campaign, into
- 36:19Speaker 3: Barack Obama's Daily Intelligence Summary Report. That provided the legal
- 36:24Speaker 3: rationale for the appointment of Robert Mueller in the worst
- 36:28Speaker 3: scandal in American history, the Russian collusion hoax. Brennan testified,
- 36:33Speaker 3: the information intelligence revealed that contacts and interactions between Russian
- 36:36Speaker 3: officials and U.S. persons involved in the Trump campaign that
- 36:40Speaker 3: I was concerned about because of known Russian efforts to
- 36:42Speaker 3: suborn such elections. It raised questions in my mind about
- 36:45Speaker 3: whether the Russians were able to gain the cooperation of
- 36:49Speaker 3: such individuals. Now, when Congressman Trey Gowdy asked Brennan directly
- 36:53Speaker 3: about any evidence that Trump officials concluded with the Kremlin,
- 36:57Speaker 3: Brennan said, I don't know. I don't know whether there
- 37:00Speaker 3: is such evidence. Well, that's better than Adam Schiff. Adam
- 37:03Speaker 3: Schiff said that he had seen more than circumstantial evidence
- 37:07Speaker 3: of Russian collusion, yet he never produced any such thing.
- 37:11Speaker 3: Now the same Adam Schiff is back saying that Donald
- 37:14Speaker 3: Trump should be impeached for corruption. This is the same
- 37:17Speaker 3: Adam Schiff who turned out to claim that his principal
- 37:20Speaker 3: residence was in California, a part when he actually lived
- 37:25Speaker 3: in Maryland, to avoid paying taxes. Once again, we see
- 37:29Speaker 3: a two-tiered justice system. I'm Roger Stone. Until tomorrow, God
- 37:33Speaker 3: bless you and God bless you.
