Trump campaign adviser (Roger Stone) threatens Congressman Eric Swalwell:

Roger Stone’s Testimony in House Russia Probe Delayed After Radio Tirade

... snip

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 Thursday’s broadcast, Stone predicted that “most committee Democrats wouldn’t attend his and Caputo’s 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 I’ll 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 he’s a yellow-bellied coward. And I don’t think he will show. But if he does show, he will regret it for the rest of his life."

This is why Bannon and Trump are trying to do away with all government, so they can remove or kill us all.

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 "America’s smear-campaigner-in-chief." He's just doing his usual schtick and threatening somebody.

Jackie escaped JonesfuckingTown alive. I doubt that she is afraid of Roger Stone.
