Roger Stone is caught on tape revealing how he plans to challenge the election results if Trump loses in 2024 in secretly recorded audio
Roger Stone, a longtime Republican operative and former Donald Trump adviser, was caught with a secret recording of how he would challenge the election results if Trump were to lose again in 2024.
Stone, who has worked in Republican politics since the 1970s and supported Richard Nixon, spent time in prison in connection with Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation.
He was convicted on charges of witness tampering, obstructing an official proceeding and five counts of making false statements before Trump commuted his sentence.
Now a liberal journalist appears to have caught Stone talking about what he has in store for 2024.
Stone says that in some states it will be “easier to stop a perceived theft of the next election” and that he will use “lawyers, judges, technology” to do so.

He even said the campaign has Republican governors on board who will help them, though he noted there were “not many.”
Stone added that Trump will go on the offensive in November to try to get their way.
“If they do it this time, at least you’ll have a lawyer and a judge, and his home phone number, so you can stop it,” he said, referring to those who certify the election.
Stone spoke with two reporters from the left-wing channel The Undercurrent, which went undercover while supporting Trump at a March 19 event called “Catholics’ Prayer for Trump.”
The longtime lobbyist said they were unprepared for the 2020 loss, saying, “We made no preparations last time, none at all.”
He also supported the riot at the Capitol after a reporter said she had been there, but added that they have plans in place to potentially prevent it from having to happen again.
‘Maybe that isn’t necessary. There are technical, legal steps we need to take to achieve fairer elections,” he said.

He said the campaign “should file charges in about half a dozen places” to help change election laws ahead of the vote.
“We are beating them. [Trump’s] The process in Georgia is falling apart. I think the judge is about to dismiss the charges against him in Florida. They have delays in New York City and now in Washington.”
“All of the election integrity provisions I have proposed are completely legal and should be part of any election security effort,” Stone said in a statement to Rolling stone.
Stone, who remained loyal to President Richard Nixon even after Watergate, had met Trump through Roy Cohn during the 1980 presidential campaign.
Cohn became known as Trump’s right-hand man after his death, but was best known at the time as Senator Joseph McCarthy’s chief adviser during the anti-communist hearings of the 1950s.
Stone wanted to build support for Reagan in New York.
“So Roy arranged a meeting for me with Donald,” Stone recalled in an interview. “Donald said, ‘Okay, give me the pitch,’ and I told him why Reagan would win.”
That was enough to convince Trump to become a Reagan backer, allowing the campaign staff to use his plane, office space and telephones, the book said.
After Reagan’s election victory, Stone convinced Trump to sign on as a client of his firm, where he remained for decades.
