OPINION: Roger Stone — Dirty Tricks And Politics

CNN is reporting that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is using my reputation as a “dirty trickster” to frame a case against me.

Anyone who has read my book, “Stone’s Rules,” or seen the Netflix documentary “Get Me Roger Stone” knows that while I cop to playing hardball politics, I draw the line at breaking the law.

I guess Mueller’s henchman forgot to mention that part when addressing the grand jury. In reality, I’m no more of a dirty trickster than any hardball political player in America today; the only difference is, I’m honest about it. Politics ain’t bean-bag.

Both CNN and the Washington Examiner report that Muller’s minions are showing people my e-mails and text messages from 2016!

The New York Times reported on January 20, 2017, that the Obama Intelligence services had me under surveillance during the presidential election. Probable cause? Not communication with any Russians or even Wikileaks.

That’s a left-wing conspiracy theory for which there is no evidence or proof — the fever dream of partisans and fraudsters posing as journalists like MSNBC’s Ari Melber. Again, probable cause? None — other than my 40-year relationship with Donald Trump. Who are the dirty tricksters?

Having come up empty-handed of any proof of Russian collusion, Wikileaks collaboration or advance knowledge of the acquisition and publication of John Podesta’s e-mails, Mueller’s gumshoes now poke into every aspect of my family, personal, social, business and private life, asking scores of my friends and associates about my drinking habits, sex life, advocacy of marijuana legalization and whether I fathered the child of an unmarried woman friend. Who’s dirty?

If I am an expert on “dirty tricks,” it takes one to recognize one. Using the authority and capability of the State to spy on the Republican candidate for president, an abuse of power that makes Watergate look like, well a fourth-rate burglary, is up there.

The use of illegal and unconstitutional FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign and using FBI operatives to infiltrate Trump’s campaign to plant faux evidence of Russian collusion have to be two of the dirtiest tricks of all time.

Donald Trump has shown us that America is less concerned with those who are bare-knuckle brawlers (who may be a little coarse at times) then they are with the phonies who pretend to be the angels of public service when they are truly the most crooked and dirtiest of them all.

Roger Stone is a legendary Republican political consultant and a veteran of many national Republican presidential campaigns. He’s also the men’s fashion correspondent for The Daily Caller and editor of Stonezone.com.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
