3/ In 2000, Stone “claimed to have obtained the frequencies of walkie-talkies that Democrats were using to communicate so he could listen in on their plans. He has also claimed that he was first to learn about Eliot Spitzer’s affairs with call girls… cnn.com/2016/04/19/pol…
4/ … which ultimately led to his resignation as Governor of New York.”
5/ “Espionage was another tactic. Stone later hired another operative to spy on the McGovern campaign in 1972, one of the campaign’s many secret operations that resulted in break-ins and wiretaps that targeted Nixon’s enemies.”washingtonpost.com/news/made-by-h…
6/ Rated thread. See the stuff about Jacob Engels & Joel Greenberg’s political opponent; see also about Jacob Engels & Andrew Gillum; and Mike Cernovich & Jon Conyers. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1471250…
7/ Then of course was Roger Stone’s involvement in Watergate, which was more involved than I realized until I read this. propertyofthepeople.org/2018/09/07/fbi…
8/ And Stone’s involvement with Wikileaks, which published the emails hacked by Russia from the DNC & John Podesta (aka “Electronic Watergate”). justsecurity.org/45435/timeline…
9/ It’s what they do to win: steal secrets (or get someone to do it for them), infiltrate/spy, distort, and weaponize.

15/ “An Israeli spy firm was reportedly hired to dig up dirt on ex-Obama aides involved in the Iran deal Possibly by people tied to Trump.” 5/7/18 vox.com/world/2018/5/7…
I’m looking into Roger Stone tonight bc his deposition is tomorrow (though he will plead the 5th). This is Interesting re: the shady Roger Stone PAC that supported Trump’s presidential aspirations in 2011. 1/ politico.com/blogs/ben-smit…
The article mentions Lynn Krogh. Does anyone know if she’s related to Egil (Bud) Krogh of Watergate infamy? 2/
Trump-installed Post Master General Louis DeJoy (who donated $700k to Trump’s convention) slowed vote by mail, so voters used drop boxes, so the GOP has decided to drastically curtail drop boxes. Get it? 1/
The #FreedomToVoteAct wld provide a needed remedy to voters who have been improperly purged from voter rolls (remember the bogus purge in 2000 & hacked voter registration systems in 2016?) by allowing Election Day registration & requiring that states offer provisional ballots. 1/
2/ The bogus voter purge in 2000 improperly removed up to 12k voters from the rolls in the decisive state of Florida, which Bush won by only 537 votes. Rs have embraced broad purges ever since.
3/ Remember??? Thirty-seven states “reported finding traces of the hackers in various systems…In two others -- Florida and California -- those traces were found in systems run by a private contractor managing critical election systems.” 6/13/17 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
It’s been more than 20 years since a faulty felon list caused the state of Florida to erroneously purge up to 12,023 voters in a presidential election that Bush won by only 537 votes in the Sunshine State. The GOP has embraced broad voter purges ever since. 1/
The #FreedomToVoteAct would curb such abuse by providing specific criteria that must be met before removing voters from the voter rolls (failure to return a postcard won’t suffice unless it’s returned as undeliverable) & implementing automatic & same day voter registration. 2/
