And the politics could get rough.

Another “dirty tricks” operation was under way at this time—under the supervision of Jeb Magruder, with funds paid out by Bart Porter, frequently carried out through the CREEP Youth Division, with ideas reportedly conceived by Chuck Colson. According to one CREEP official, Colson's role aroused some friction. The official recalls Magruder saying, “That goddamn Colson, he just sits there and dreams up this crap!”The projects carried out were varied and imaginative. Porter dispatched Roger Stone, the head of the District of Columbia Young Republicans, to New Hampshire to make a contribution to the McCloskey campaign on behalf of the Gay Liberation Front. (At the last moment, he balked at identifying himself as a homosexual and made the contribution instead in the name of the Young Socialist Alliance.)

WASHINGTON (JTA) — On US president Donald Trump’s last day in office, Roger Stone was furious that his old friend declined to pardon a bevy of Stone’s associates and fellow travelers. The longtime political trickster blamed Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and he had a plan.
“In two weeks he’s moving to Miami,” Stone told Enrique Alejandro, his employee, referring to Kushner. “He’s going to get a beating. He needs to have a beating. And needs to be told, ‘This time we’re just beating you. Next time we’re killing you.’”
Alejandro was wary of the Danish documentary team filming this exchange, and urged Stone to explain he was joking, according to a Washington Post report posted on Friday.
No, he wasn’t kidding, Stone said. “No, no, it isn’t joking. Not joking. It’s not a joke,” he said.
The Post was the first to review hours of footage by the Danish documentarians, who followed Stone for two years. Stone told the Post his remarks were removed from context but did not explain how.
Stone himself was pardoned by Trump in December 2020 for his conviction on charges of obstruction, making false statements and witness tampering in relation to an investigation into interference in the 2016 election. Before becoming an adviser to Trump, Stone had been known for his capacity for “dirty tricks” in his role campaigning for President Richard Nixon.
Speaking directly to the documentarians, the Post reported, Stone likened his appeals to Trump to preemptively pardon his associates to appeals to president Franklin Delano Roosevelt to stop the Nazi genocide. He threatens to expose personal details of Pat Cipollone, the White House counsel who advised Trump to avoid some of the more far-fetched pardon requests, include some advocated by Stone.From <Ex-Trump adviser Roger Stone suggested Jared Kushner 'needs to have a beating' | The Times of Israel>
