Roger Stones Testimony in House Russia Probe Delayed After Radio Tirade

Stone hurled insults at two Democratic members of the intelligence panel -- threatening to sue one and calling another a "yellow-bellied coward" -- during an appearance aired Thursday on Buffalo, New York-area radio station WBEN. Also on the program was former Trump campaign communications adviser Michael Caputo, who is scheduled to testify before the House panel Friday afternoon.

During Thursdays broadcast, Stone predicted that most committee Democrats wouldnt attend his and Caputos closed-door appearances before the panel. He contended that one Democrat on the committee, Jackie Speier of California, had said he was on the Kremlin payroll.
"OK, congresswoman. You have two choices -- apologize or Ill see you in U.S. District Court in California," said Stone. "You see, members of Congress can be sued when they say things outside the floor. She said that on television. And therefore I will be suing her."

Yellow-Bellied Coward
"I mean, have you seen this guy, Eric Swalwell? The lightweight, mannequin, pretty-boy from California?" Stone said. "I think hes a yellow-bellied coward. And I dont think he will show. But if he does show, he will regret it for the rest of his life."

Is Stone trying to blow up his trip to jail?

(7,808 posts)He called Swalwell a lightweight, mannequin, pretty-boy from California, and a yellow-bellied coward on the radio.
Congresswoman Speier said that he was on the Kremlin payroll so he's going to sue?
It sounds like Swalwell could threaten Stone with a lawsuit himself.
Neither of them will sue, of course. Stone is known for being a big mouth blowhard. The Guardian calls him "Americas smear-campaigner-in-chief." He's just doing his usual schtick and threatening somebody.
