The Washinton Post has a blockbuster article based on information from a film by a Danish filmmaker who followed Roger Stone for two years for his film. The WP reviewed 20 hours of footage from the video recordings.
The article covers basically the 1/6 Insurrection and then pardons. All the big players are included at one point or another including Bannon, Giuliani, Cipollini, Kushner, Kerik, Oath Keepers, Proud Boys ... and of course dt.
According to the article Stone began a plan regarding the election in June of 2020 and what to do if dt lost. Many of his ideas would reach fruition and of course as always there were plans discussed with others.
The 1st example of the violence to come worth mentioning is this.
On the eve of the 2020 election, however, he seemed to welcome the prospect of clashes with left-wing activists. In a recorded conversation, as an aide spoke of driving trucks into crowds of racial justice protesters, Stone said: “Once there’s no more election, there’s no reason why we can’t mix it up. These people are going to get what they’ve been asking for.”
Days after the election the grifting begins and of course that would include the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.
Dictating text messages, Stone told an aide to resurrect his Stop the Steal campaign. He predicted to another aide that his brand was about to be “quite a bit hotter” as a result, adding, “We’re going to raise money from Stop the Steal — it will be like falling off a log.”
That day, working from a desk in his office and surrounded by Nixon memorabilia, Stone directed aides to recruit retired military and law enforcement officials for Stop the Steal. He told them to monitor a group chat on the app Signal titled “F.O.S.” — friends of Stone. Tarrio of the Proud Boys was among the group’s members, a later shot of Stone’s phone showed.

Shortly after Stone was pardoned by dt he goes back into full fledged Stone mode and this is what Ali Alexander said publicly about Stone at that time.
“Roger’s fully in the fight now,” Alexander said. “Roger wasn’t allowed to be fully in the fight. We’ve taken the leash off the pit bull. So, this is something Roger and I have been planning for a long time. And, finally, he’s off the leash. So, you know, it’s a knife fight, and your two knife fighters are Ali Alexander and Roger Stone. And you either fight with us or you get slashed.”

In December dt announces his big 1/6 rally and all the eventual culprits start gearing up with their grifting, soliciting pardons and eventually holding court or conspiracy meeting at the Willard hotel with the film crew still recording.
Pardons and the "Stone Plan"
Starting in late December of 2020 Roger Stone started really pushing for an amazing group of pardons for a variety of persons some paid for influence and many he would decide should be done in order to give blanket pardons to friends, associates and what I call co-conspirators. Many of these discussions were also done while on video tape.
Stone himself became enraged when Bannon got his pardon for fraud of dt's followers and yet neither he nor Bernnie Kerik would get pardons. Later Kerik would say he had done nothing wrong and didn't need a pardon.
Stone sets up his 1/6 command post at the Willard hotel along with the Giuliani group and Bannon, sometimes communicating with them although you get the idea he was participating more with Kerik and the Proud Boys.
Stone appears to have been competing for attention or control with other factions on 1/6 once again leaving the impression that he is mercurial and thin skinned about his position
Stone ended up being outraged that he wasn't given a VIP pass to the main event on 1/6 where dt spoke so he sat in his room at the Willard watching while the film crew did their thing. He allegedly was going to speak at 2:30 and the crew recorded him meeting Bernie Kerik in the lobby and waiving the crew off from further recording. There is a dispute as to what they discussed but Stone suddenly decided not to attend and went back up to his room. I am inclined to think that Kerik had seen what was happening and warned him off but I could be wrong.
Later he told the film crew that dt had made a big mistake and let them film him packing up his bags and leaving around 5 pm for a private flight back to Florida making sure he told them he had nothing to do with Insurrection.
Stone blamed WH Counsel Cipollini (sp?) and most of all Jared Kushner for not pardoning all of them including for some reason my senator cruz.
Once again with the film crew recording he talks about Kushner
“In two weeks he’s moving to Miami,” Stone told Alejandro, before whispering: “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.’ ” Aware the filmmakers were nearby, Alejandro urged Stone to say he was joking. “No, no, it isn’t joking. Not joking. It’s not a joke,” Stone replied.
Later that day, in a car with the filmmakers, Stone returned to the subject of Kushner during a call with a friend named Tom. Stone said Kushner needed to be “punished in the most brutal possible way” and would be “brain dead when I get finished with him.”
(I wonder if that is Tom Barrack?)
