Trump ally Roger Stone says US intelligence tried to assassinate him in Wednesday hit-and-run crash

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/trump-ally-roger-stone-says-us-intelligence-tried-to-assassinate-him-in-wednesday-hit-and-run-crash/

Roger Stone — the Watergate-era GOP “dirty tricks” operative and longtime friend and confidant to Pres. Donald Trump claims that forces from the so-called “deep state” tried to kill him in a hit-and-run auto collision on Wednesday.

Mediaite.com reported that Stone appears to have survived the crash relatively unscathed. He appeared on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ Wednesday edition of InfoWars to make his accusations against the government.

“It didn’t seem like an accident to me,” Stone told Jones. “I am a consistent critic of the Deep State that’s why I think I’m targeted.”

Stone tweeted about the accident after it occurred, writing, “Car I was in T-boned by large grey 4 door – dark tinted windshield – I was passenger side.”

“I am fine after suspicious hit and run. Blurred vision in right eye on which I had surgery for detached retina sustained in boxing match,” he continued. “Air bags saved me from serious injury – insist on doing my @InfoWars stint at 3 pm EST.”

Whoever "they" might be - CIA, FBI, Obama, Putin, Mossad, MI6 - "they" would have taken him out much more efficiently than by an apparently minor car accident. Anyhow, ol' Roger has serious delusions of grandeur if he thinks he's important enough for "them" to eliminate.

14. A Couple Of Questions On This....
Wed Mar 15, 2017, 03:46 PM
Mar 2017

1. Where did this happen?

2. Was it reported to law enforcement in the area?

3. Just about anything that happens these days is caught on camera. Did they check local businesses in the area to see if this
hit and run was caught on video?

4. What time of day did this happen?

5. Are there any eyewitnesses to this hit and run?

6. If he was sitting in the passenger seat - who was driving the vehicle and where there other people in his vehicle?

7. Was anyone else injured in his vehicle in this hit and run?

8. What kind of damage was done to the vehicle he was in?

9. Where the other(s) in his vehicle interviewed and did they make a statement?

If I were him I'd be thinking that it was not U.S.Intelligence that was trying to silence me - I would be thinking maybe his longtime friend and confident had something to do with this. Perhaps it is known that under pressure Stone would crack and talk. We wouldn't want to have him implicate anyone now - would we.

shit happens sometimes dude. back when I was a teen, a drunk ran a stop sign and t boned our car. She hit more on the front of the car driver's side, a yard further on, my mother would probably not have made it.

So what is more likely a drunk or a double secret probation plot to kill another hero of the movement.

You notice how the wingers are always projecting all the kinds of crap that autocrats and dictators pull.

It must true........because........hey they would do it to you.

So now he's graduated from Watergate dirty tricks to Russiagate dirty tricks to help his BFF, Trump distract and paint himself a 'victim'. His use of dis-infowars is just him reaching out to the basest of the base to get them riled up.

These are serious and extremely well trained professionals, not 'Keystone cops'. If they wanted him gone, he'd already be gone.
