"I've gotten 11 harassment civil suits against me -- all baseless, unsubstantiated," Roger Stone claimed. Roger Stone, a longtime political adviser to former President Donald Trump, accused the FBI of becoming President Bidens personal Gestapo, and described the subpoena he received from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill riot as harassment.
Stone, who was pardoned by Trump after being convicted of lying to lawmakers about Russian election interference, slammed the FBI.
We have a group of politicized thugs at the top of the FBI who are using the FBI
as Joe Bidens personal Gestapo, he told John Catsimatidis on his WABC 770 AM radio show in an interview that aired Sunday.
He also questioned the reasoning behind the FBIs decision to raid the home of James OKeefe, the founder of Project Veritas, as part of an investigation into the theft of Bidens daughter Ashleys diary before the 2020 election. 00:07 01:29
Project Veritas did not publish the contents of the diary, but the National File blog released handwritten pages from it about a week before the election.
If a journalist has [Bidens] daughters diary, particularly if the journalist hasnt even published it, or commented on it, why would you search their home? Why would you seize their computers? Its very chilling, Stone said. FBI seal. Roger Stone questioned the reasoning behind the FBIs decision to raid the home of Project Veritas founder James OKeefe.

He accused the Jan. 6 committee of using subpoenas like press releases.
I immediately began thinking how many of my Roger Stone Still Did Nothing Wrong T-shirts can I sell to raise the money for my legal defense.
This is epically expensive. Ive gotten 11 harassment civil suits against me all baseless, unsubstantiated, but tremendously sensationalized dismissed, Stone said.
Ive still got six to go, not to mention [Congress] new level of harassment.
They put enormous financial pressure on you, and they seek to write
a subpoena as if its a press release, Stone said. Isnt it interesting that they released the subpoena on me to the press before my lawyers even received it and had a chance to read it. Whats that about? he asked.
