Roger Stone, a long-time Republican operative and former adviser to Donald Trump, was recently caught on tape revealing the former president’s strategy to challenge the results of the 2024 election if he were to lose. The secret recording, taken at Mar-a-Lago, was orchestrated by liberal reporters posing as Trump supporters.
Stone, known as a “dirty trickster” in right-wing politics, unintentionally disclosed the plan to journalists who recorded him at a “Catholics Prayer for Trump” event. In the conversation, Stone discussed the three pillars of the plan: “Lawyers, judges, technology.” He also mentioned the campaign’s focus on changing state voting laws and filing lawsuits to contest the results if needed.
The recordings, released by The Undercurrent, revealed Stone’s confidence in the campaign’s offensive tactics and his endorsement of potential legal actions to secure a “more honest election.” Stone even hinted at the possibility of storming the Capitol building, although he suggested that technical and legal steps would be prioritized.
Stone acknowledged the lack of preparation in the 2020 election and emphasized the importance of being proactive this time around. He mentioned the Trump campaign’s readiness to initiate lawsuits in multiple states and utilize the RNC’s resources to fund the legal challenges.
Despite Stone’s claims about governors being prepared to contest the election results, he admitted that only a few were willing to take such a risk for Trump. The article mentioned the previous lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign in 2020, most of which were dismissed due to lack of evidence or standing.
As the 2024 election approaches, Stone’s revelations raise concerns about the potential challenges to the electoral process. The recordings provide insights into the strategies being considered by the Trump campaign and highlight the contentious nature of American politics. The implications of Stone’s statements shed light on the ongoing efforts to influence election outcomes and the role of legal tactics in shaping the political landscape.
