'Either Nadler or Swalwell has to die' before '20 election: Roger Stone recording

Self-proclaimed "dirty trickster" Roger Stone was caught on an audio recording with his security guard floating assassinations of his alleged congressional Democratic nemeses: Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and Eric Swalwell (D-CA), weeks before the 2020 presidential election, Mediate reports.

“It’s time to do it,” Stone reportedly told Sal Greco, an NYPD cop moonlighting as Stone's security guard, at Caffe Europa in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. “Let’s go find Swalwell. It’s time to do it. Then we’ll see how brave the rest of them are. It’s time to do it. It’s either Nadler or Swalwell has to die before the election. They need to get the message. Let’s go find Swalwell and get this over with. I’m just not putting up with this sh-t anymore.”

A source told Mediate Stone was dead serious.

“It was definitely concerning that he was constantly planning violence with an NYPD officer and other militia groups,” the source told the outlet.

Stone's beef with the lawmakers started a long time ago.

The same source told Mediaite, “Stone had been at war with Nadler and Swalwell for years. He just hates them.”

The source added Stone "just wanted to get Trump back into office so these things would stop."

When reached by Mediate, Stone denied the legitimacy of the recordings and construed that AI invented them.

As far as targeting Reps. Swalwell and Nadler — Stone responded: “Total nonsense. I’ve never said anything of the kind; more AI manipulation. You asked me to respond to audios that you don’t let me hear and you don’t identify a source for. Absurd.”

Meanwhile, Greco sent Mediate a text that didn't deny the veracity of the audio but asserted it was dated: “I don’t think your reader is interested in ancient political fodder.”

The report noted that Greco was guarding Stone during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and was dropped from the NYPD back in August 2022.

Nadler and Swalwell were House Judiciary Committee members at the time, but after ongoing political attacks against Swalwell, Republicans voted to remove him from all of his committees.

On July 20, Nadler publicly excoriated then-President Donald Trump for commuting Stone's sentence (prosecutors sought nine years) after being found guilty of obstruction, witness tampering, and committing perjury to Congress in the Mueller investigation.

"By commuting his sentence, President Trump has infected our judicial system with partisanship and cronyism and attacked the rule of law," Nadler said on social media.

Neither Nadler nor Swalwell responded to Mediate when reached for comment.
