Longtime Donald Trump friend Roger Stone gave a most interesting speech at the Turning Point USA convention over the weekend. Stone offered his thoughtful take on the recent Epstein List controversy as follows.
“Us Trump vs. Epstein Truth Exposed by Roger Stone at SAS 2025 by Turning Point USA in Tampa, Florida” – Mago News
“The solution is for POTUS to direct his Attorney General (Pam Bondi) to instruct the interim U.S. Attorney for the SDNY (Jay Clayton) to move to unseal all grand jury testimony presented when the Trump admin. charged Epstein with child sex trafficking.
The government should unseal the search warrants executed on Epstein’s private island and Manhattan townhouse — which remain sealed pursuant to a motion filed by federal prosecutors, including Maurene Comey.
EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW IS IN THOSE DOCUMENTS.
It was the Trump admin. — not Biden, and certainly not Obama — that moved in federal court to finally bring Epstein to justice.”
What was most earthshaking about Stone’s speech came when he called on the more pressing need to charge those involved in a conspiracy to destroy President Trump in his first term as follows.
“Rick Crawford (Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence) will have a report shortly with the assistance of Tulsi Gabbard (United States Director of National Intelligence) and our, and our, ODNI (Office of the Director of National Intelligence) that will take an even deeper dive in the rank conspiracy to destroy Donald Trump and his presidency.
I live for the morning that 29 heavily armed FBI agents brandishing fully automatic M4 assault weapons surround John Brennan’s home to arrest him at 6:00 in the morning.
And I say it is time to charge Vice President Joe Biden, FBI Director James Comey, National Security Director Susan Rice, Assistant FBI Director McCabe, and the greatest rat of them all, Rod Rosenstein, with treason.
At the same time, I call, I laud the president for the appointment of a special prosecutor to examine the 2020 elections. Christopher Wray, the worst FBI director in history, admitted, pardon me, said under oath to Congress that there was no foreign interference in our elections. But thanks to the work of Kash Patel, we learned only days ago about thousands of fake driver’s licenses being sent from China to Chicago for use on Election Day. I favor the appointment of a special prosecutor and the man to do this job is “Eagle” Ed Martin.
We also need a special prosecutor to investigate the origins of the COVID19 vaccination. I call on the Attorney General to charge Anthony Fauci for lying to Congress. And when, in his legal defense, he argues that he cannot be charged because he has a preemptive pardon, the government can finally test the legality of the autopen in which all of those documents should not be honored.
For those who are prematurely concerned about the 2026 election, I say to you that the average American is more concerned about the cost of a gallon of gasoline or a dozen eggs, the availability of affordable housing, or whether they can walk in their neighborhood at night without fear of being mugged by an illegal immigrant gang member.
Donald Trump was not supposed to win in 2024. They said it was impossible.
He beat efforts to bankrupt him. He beat efforts to keep him off the ballot in all 50 states. Uh they tried to jail him. But it is only because of his persistence and his courage and his stamina that we are on the cusp of the greatest period in American political history.”
Stone’s conclusion was very interesting as well.
“I am uh as committed to exposure on Jeffrey Epstein as you are. But let’s not lose sight of the most successful presidency in American history. And we’re not even in to the first year.
I leave you with a quote from my favorite president (Theodore Roosevelt) who said, ‘It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man or woman who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who he’s but comes up short again and again.
Because there is no effort without error and shortcoming.
But who does actually strive to do the deeds. Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions. Who spends himself or herself in a worthy cause. Who at the best at the end knows the triumph of high achievement. And who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails, why daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.’
This I can tell you in the fight for America, in the fight for our constitution, in the fight for prosperity, in the fight for peace, neither Donald J. Trump nor Roger Stone will ever quit.
God bless you.”
CONCLUSION:
Stone has worked on Republican campaigns of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Jack Kemp, Bob Dole, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump. He co-founded a lobbying firm with Paul Manafort and Charles R. Black Jr. The firm became Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly (BMSK) in 1984. BMSK became a top lobbying firm, leveraging White House connections for high-paying clients. Stone has been a longtime friend of Trump and some say was one of the first to tell him he should run for the presidency in 1989.
I have always liked the personality of Stone for some reason. His 30 minute TPA speech is worth watching in its entirety but points I found both interesting and humorous.
- Stone inadvertently saved Donald Trump’s life from a helicopter crash in 1989 when Stone was persistent about needing a meeting with Trump.
- Former CIA Director John Brennan is an admitted communist.
- Stone has a grapefruit size tattoo of former President Richard Nixon between his shoulder blades on his back.
Stone’s message was interesting. He implied there is no actual Epstein List because previous FBI directors destroyed any such list. He said that the records former FBI director James Comey’s daughter got sealed, U.S. attorney Maurene Comey, need to be unsealed by a judge and all of those sealed files will reveal Epstein’s contacts.
He seemed to encourage the audience to continue to think the best of President Trump and let things play out in God and Trump’s own time and not that of our own wanting immediate justice.
He may have a valid point because in preparing this story I found it odd James Comey’s daughter was involved in both the Epstein sex crimes trial and more recently as 1 of 8 prosecutors for the US Attorney’s Office in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sex crimes trial. What are the odds of that?!
