The Newsweek report discussed\u2062 Stone&#8217;s plans and preparations to ensure the GOP does not \u2063repeat the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/succession-star-brian-cox-blasts-woke-culture\/\" title=\"Brian Cox, star of 'Succession,' criticizes 'woke culture.'\">perceived mistakes<\/a> of the 2020 election, utilizing \u200clegal means to challenge unfavourable results.\u200c It also highlights undercover recordings by \u200cliberal filmmaker Lauren Windsor, capturing conversations with Stone \u200bat a gathering. The author critiques not only the substance and presentation of\u200d the Newsweek article, labeling \u2062it as \u2064inadequate and foolish, but also\u200c criticizes the journalistic \u200cintegrity and bias \u200dof Newsweek and Rolling Stone\u2062 against Trump and his allies. The narrative \u2063suggests that \u200bthese media outlets are overly dramatic and desperate in their attempts to vilify Trump&#8217;s \u2064camp, especially when nothing \u2064substantively damning has been uncovered in these &#8216;undercover recordings\u2019. The \u2062text argues that \u2062such recordings reveal little \u200dmore than standard political\u2064 strategizing, unfairly framed as sinister by biased reporting.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_5)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>This is what passes for \u201cnews\u201d at Newsweek?<\/p>\n<p>Former President Donald Trump\u2019s supporters are determined to avoid the mistakes of 2020 and are preparing to use every legal method available to prevent Democrats from dishonestly changing the results.<\/p>\n<p>And there are undercover recordings to prove it!<\/p>\n<div id=\"IC1-ad\" class=\"sponsor IC1\">\n<div class=\"ad-notice flipboard-remove\" fl:fl-noexcerpt=\"true\">Advertisement &#8211; story continues below<\/div>\n<div id=\"IC1\"> <script> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( 'ff_subbed' ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.querySelector( '#IC1-ad' ).style.display='none';} else if( 'IC1' !='REP' && FFADS.units.IC1 && FFADS.units.IC1.ad_type=='custom' && FFADS.units.IC1.custom_ads && ! getCookie( 'ff_subbed' ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById( 'IC1' ).innerHTML=FFADS.units.IC1.custom_ads[0].code; \t\t\t\tif( !

Participants in an in-person conversation generally know what the other is referring to better than eavesdroppers on a hidden recording device.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re working on it,\u201d Stone said. \u201cLawyers, judges, technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the GOP is working with the weapons of modern election warfare \u2014 just like Democrats have become experts at (just ask <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/op-ed-accountability-finally-coming-russian-collusion-hoaxer-marc-elias\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marc Elias<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>And for Newsweek, this qualifies as news.<\/p>\n<p>The Windsor video includes an earlier interaction between Stone and Windsor accomplice Ally Sammarco, in which Sammarco, pretending to be a fan, tells Stone she participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol incursion. Obviously attempting to bait Stone, she said point-blank that the 2020 election was stolen by Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>His response was clear as day for what it portended for Trump supporters:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re gonna, between now and then, we\u2019re gonna work very hard and very smart to make sure that doesn\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Again, nuts and bolts campaign work and nuts and bolts campaign law work. This is not the stuff of undercover recording legend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo far, given the incredible power they have and they will use ruthlessly, we are beating them as of today,\u201d Stone said.<\/p>\n<p>He cited the legal problems facing the Democratic prosecution of Trump in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/georgia-appeals-court-gives-trump-great-news-fight-fani-willis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Fulton County, Georgia,<\/a> and special counsel Jack Smith\u2019s cases against Trump in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/just-judge-hands-trump-massive-win-suspends-trial-classified-documents-case\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Florida<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/elections\/2024\/05\/30\/trumps-three-criminal-cases-status\/73897879007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">D.C.<\/a> as signs the offensive against Trump is stalling.<\/p>\n<p>And he declared that Republicans would be ready this election to fight in a way that they were not in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s news at all, it\u2019s the kind that should hearten Trump supporters, tired of seeing Democrats abusing the American legal system in their quest for power.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not the kind of \u201cnews\u201d Newsweek\u2019s editors saw, though, as the headline declared: \u201cRoger Stone Secret Recording Sparks Fury.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cfury\u201d was, naturally, made up entirely of Democrats who apparently see something sinister in the idea that Republicans can defend themselves in a legal fight.<\/p>\n<p>If the goal of the Windsor recordings was to expose something supposedly secret, it was a failure. Nothing in Stone\u2019s words were shocking, and only comforting for Trump supporters to know their side won\u2019t roll over and die when the going gets rough in the fall.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that liberal activists are going to such lengths, coming up so empty, and pretending the attempts are just shy of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/news\/mutiny-on-the-battleship-potemkin-110-years-ago\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Potemkin mutiny<\/a> in their importance basically reeks of liberal panic.<\/p>\n<p>If the goal was to humiliate Stone personally \u2014 which was almost certainly at least a secondary aim, considering the left\u2019s fear and loathing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fred-weinberg-judge-roger-stone-case-perfect-example-problems-federal-court-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for the man<\/a> \u2014 it was worse than a failure. And Newsweek\u2019s publication of such an embarrassing, ham-handed piece of polemics only humiliated the publication instead.<\/p>\n<p>Stone probably summed up the situation best in his own social media post, calling the story a \u201cNOTHINGBURGER.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The video of me illegally obtained by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lawindsor?\">@lawindsor<\/a> in which I lay out the perfectly legal steps Republicans must take to ensure a free ,fair and honest election is a NOTHINGBURGER <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IMs4LRBZTi\">https:\/\/t.co\/IMs4LRBZTi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Roger Stone (@RogerJStoneJr) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RogerJStoneJr\/status\/1803360384835002429?\">June 19, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe video of me illegally obtained by @lawindsor in which I lay out the perfectly legal steps Republicans must take to ensure a free, fair and honest election is a NOTHINGBURGER,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a nothingburger all right.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s the kind of news that passes for \u201cnews\u201d at Newsweek.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\">\n<h3 class=\"ff-fancy-header\">Truth and Accuracy<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-button\" onclick=\" \t\t\t\tdocument.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction .correction-form form' ).style.display='block'; \t\t\t\tif( typeof grecaptcha=='undefined' ) { \t\t\t\t\tlet cap_s=document.createElement( 'script' ); \t\t\t\t\tcap_s.src='https:\/' + '\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/api.js?render=6LeJFcsUAAAAAPsIEqvB1EebWbZfqRUe6ebMpGy7'; \t\t\t\t\tdocument.body.appendChild( cap_s ); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\">  Submit a Correction \u2192 <\/div>\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> <label>* Name<\/label> <br \/> <input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> <\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-email-field\"> <label>* Email<\/label> <br \/> <input type=\"text\" name=\"email\" required> <\/div>\n<p> <label>* Message<\/label> <br \/> <textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea>  <\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\">  <\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\temail:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"email\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', 'email', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
