Federal prosecutors unveiled a barrage of evidence against longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone as they tried to show that Stone tried to bully an associate into staying silent when a House committee investigating 2016 election interference came calling

The texts and emails came cascading out on Thursday. A visceral insult, a chilling threat, a garbled reference to the mafia. And expletives, so many expletives.

In another exchange, Credico warned Stone that he could be prosecuted for perjury for giving incorrect testimony to lawmakers about his communications with WikiLeaks, the publishing outfit that released hacked emails that rocked Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.“I'm going to take that dog away from you. Not a fucking thing you can do about it either because you are a weak piece of shit,” he wrote in one. And in another, Stone said, “Let’s get it on. Prepare to die cocksucker.

“You’ve seen it recently?” asked Jonathan Kravis, an assistant U.S. attorney from D.C., who is part of the prosecution team.Jurors also heard a comparison of Stone’s crimes to Watergate as Taylor read another text message from Stone urging Credico not to speak to lawmakers.Taylor said Stone — famous for his back tattoo of Richard Nixon — was referring to directions the 37th president gave to his aides as investigators closed in.

Stone testified he had no relevant records about that critical time period and he denied having contact with the Trump campaign about WikiLeaks. But the government prosecutors argued that call logs, email exchanges and other communications show something else. During the late summer of 2016, for example Stone had two calls with Trump himself and nearly 30 calls with deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates.

The draft — or potentially doctored — paragraphs said Stone held Credico in “high regard” and hailed his “landmark interviews” with Assange on New York alternative radio station WBAI. The section Stone emailed Credico also detailed their cooperation on efforts to relax the New York drug laws and free drug convicts from prison.

Too bad Stone won't be seeing his long time buddy get impeached. He'll meet him in jail soon.

LOCK HIM UP

Once they put the screws on him we'll see the truth of the saying 'No Stone unturned.'
