Roger Stone Launches New Super PAC Targeting Trump's Opponents

Roger Stone has a plan to stop Trump's competition from gaining momentum; launch a super PAC.

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Stone--who claims he isn't working for Trump anymore--is launching the Committee to Restore America's Greatness to combat attacks against the business mogul.

Stone told the Journal that he had not run the idea by Trump--a candidate who has campaigned against the use of outside funding groups. The Journal reports the main aim isn't to build up Trump's policy bonafides, but "educate voters on the records of Rubio and potentially Chris Christie since they are on the move in New Hampshire."

On the newly-launched group's website, there are several claims aimed directly at Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) The site calls on donors to help stop "AN ALL-OUT PAID MEDIA ASSAULT TO DESTROY THE CANDIDACY OF DONALD TRUMP."

The website describes Rubio's immigration policy as "liberal open borders" and accuses him of being a puppet for Washington insiders.

"Now the Republican establishment, the billionaires, the hedge fund managers, and the Wall Street interests, has abandoned Jeb Bush and designated Senator Marco Rubio as the new GOP establishment candidate," the site says. "The people who gave us John McCain and Mitt Romney--losers--now want to foist Marco Rubio off on us."

I don’t know. I did email the Newsmax article I got to Trump. Hopefully, his campaign will read it.

I can see where Roger Stone is coming from, and he is good in politics, but I don't think Trump will ok this at all...

Trump has stated he wants nothing to do with any type of super pac, and even had attorneys write letters to some that Trump didn't even know about to cease and desist....so I kinda think this isn't going to go over very well...

I think a book would be good for Stone to write or an editorial or something...

I think this is a kind of cease and desist letter to Rubio and his super Pac.

And the idea is not to push Trump but to hit his enemies.

I always thought the Trump/Stone split, which happened right after Trump declared, was contrived. Since then, Stone got a book published that eviscerated the Clintons, and he has remained in solid support of Trump. Now this super PAC.

Roger Stone is a trained Nixon rat’fer who was good friends with Lee Awater and the SC boys.

Many of those same SC boys like Terry Sullivan, Wesley Donehue, and Warren Tompkins are now heading up Rubio’s campaign. Those guys are BAD dudes(Tompkins started up the McCain black baby rumor, and Donehue started a rumor about Nikki Haley.)

This sort of scares me, these sick bastards will hit Cruz with everything they got. Get ready folks... The only way they know how to play is dirty.

As far as Stone and this Pac it’s obvious he is trying to make $$$ and do a service for his ‘ex’ boss. If Trump were smart he’d tell Roger to cool his heels.

Anyone from the Lee Atwater lineage is dirty, slimy and will stop at nothing to beat their opponents.

Sociopaths to their core.

Sometimes your friends have to help you whether you want it or not. It might come in handy and Trump can disavow Stone and still he can assist in attacking Rubio who I assume is the main culprit.

I just went to the website and it’s all about donations. A friend has started getting emails.
