Rick Wilson astutely anticipates the right wing media's reaction to Rodger Stone's 6 AM wake-up call

@TheRickWilson

TRUMP MEDIA: "SEE?!?!?!? No collusion! He's only charged with lying!"

ME: "Only charged with lying in ***these*** indictments.

TRUMP MEDIA: "But her emails."

Pretty cheap these days.

Edit to add: when you watch it you can see FBI agents shining flashlights into the cameras lens.

The RW media has been in full ravage force attacking Nathan Phillips. I mean brutal. Full doxxing and more. His big crime is apparently lying. The “Stolen Valor” people are involved including a clearly racist video about Phillips DD-214.

The Stolen Valor thing has always amazed me specifically people flat out lying about military service. There were efforts to make these lies about service into specific crimes. But here’s the thing - when that started there was a concerted effort by Republican politicians and their supposedly literary arm to say “Hold it! Lying isn’t a crime” and using free speech as their basis/moral high ground. There were even amicus briefs (if memory serves) filed in different courts. I thought this was really aimed at protecting their talk radio Foxworld media operations and probably were. Now twisted statements that Phillips May or may not have said are the greatest tragedy of modern times....well at least until the next one pops up.

If Rick Wilson is right this should be interesting to watch. In a real world they’d drop the Covington cover thing so they don’t speak of both within the same radio/TV programs. I said in a real world.

I briefly flipped over to Faux News this morning to see how they were handling the Stone breaking news, and that's how they were all dismissing it: "Nothing to see here. Just process charges."

No doubt if I hadn't switched channels again immediately I would've heard them rejoice how this exonerates their Dear Leader.
