Oh my, this is juicy:
Longtime Republican operative Roger Stone pleaded the Fifth earlier this week in front of the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot, but Sunday morning he tossed Steve Bannon under the bus.
Stone, who has long been at odds with Bannon over the latter “testify[ing] falsely” against him during his criminal trial, took to the far-right messaging platform Telegram to suggest Bannon was behind the call to “breach” the Capitol building on Jan 6. “It is highly likely that [Steve] Bannon really gave the order to breach the capital [sic] and maneuvered patriots into dangerous positions,” he wrote. “A neophyte Steve Bannon was willing to try crazy things like this to curry favor with Trump who had a [sic] no interest in Bannon’s bullsh*t.”
On Saturday evening, appearing on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ InfoWars program, Stone advised Jones, who is currently cooperating with the House committee, not to take the committee’s inquires seriously. Stone added the advice doled out by him was not an effort to “obstruct justice,” but rather “friend to friend” legal advice.
Two Trump pardoned criminals at each others’ throats? You love to see it.
I do have one question though. If Bannon “gave the order” to breach the capitol, who exactly did he give the order to? And since when did Trump have no interest in Bannon’s bullshit? Bannon was at the Willard hotel with all the other insurrectionist nutcases whose buillshit Trump obviously did have a great interest in.
They are both disgusting human beings with long histories of character assassination. It’s nice to see them turning their nefarious talents on each other.
It’s Happy Hollandaise time! If you’d like to throw a few coins this way it would be most appreciated:
