Roger Stone contested our reporting regarding comments he made floating the assassination of Eric Swalwell and Jerry Nadler. Mediaite is now publishing the tape.
I have no problem believing Roger Stone advocated for assassinating two members of Congress, which is also why this is the type of situation where releasing deepfakes would be most effective.
So yeah, it’s absolutely plausible this was AI generated, but Roger Stone isn’t someone I feel deserves the benefit of the doubt.
The worst part of the world today is that is a plausible denial.
But, like other forms of evidence, if it’s not proof positive but it is correct, it may be a strong lead to other information, and at best an invitation for witness testimony. (Not to imply that testimony is reliable)
And in this particular case, mediaite is in communication with the person that recorded this. In addition, they indicated that there were several other instances of Roger Stone attempting to get this done.
Could he even be charged for this? I would hope so, especially if he actually took some steps to getting it done.
“But it was AI” is the new talking point for the chucklefucks. Pathetic.

Let’s be real Republicans haven’t faced consequences for what would get Dems guantanemo for a long time now. So it’s all pretty moot.
the chuckleheads all talk the same cowardly bullshit over beers
