Defamation and libel suits are rarely filed by public figures. The reason is obvious....the burden of proof for a public figure is much higher than for the ordinary citizen.

I listen to Jones to hear what crazies are saying

Stones claim was that he was poisoned by polonium. He provided NO proof. All that was apparently true was that he got sick.

Stone was let go from the campaign very early on

It seems you’re only pulling that opinion out of your overstating arse because you can’t cite any cases where Stone has been proved to be (or even accused of being) defamatory.

Meanwhile, contradicting your opinion, in recently litigated defamatory case history reality land...

etc etc.

But https://www.google.com/#q=Roger+Stone+Defamation  ??  Zilch!

>>I listen to Jones to hear what crazies are saying

You sure it’s not because that’s where your true “kindred spirits” are?

I never listened to Jones before the show he did on Pizzagate - or since.  Unless he was trying to channel a drama queen like Jimmy Swaggart, Jones' acting was spectacularly unconvincing. 

>>He provided NO proof.

It’s what Stone said he believed. He was obviously sick and he doesn’t have to prove that he believes he was poisoned - or what he believes he was poisoned with.  

Stone may be, justifiably, paranoid and / or eccentric (as well as a dapper dresser in a pork pie hat and pin stripe suit when he shows up in the seats at church) but he didn't accuse anybody without proof - like YOU did.

If you have proof that Stone, who you accusatorily assert "is a liar", deliberately deceived folks by misrepresenting material facts regarding his poisoning (or anything else) then put it up - otherwise, you show yourself as nothing but a flatulent and pretentious gasbag with an unsubstantiated projectile opinion.

 

YMMV - but I'm happy to see Mr. Stone is alive, well, and clearly more of a Kindred Spirit with POTUS Donald Trump than your opinionated and overstating, but vacuously uninsightful, self... will ever be.

“Q&A: Trump Adviser Roger Stone on the Media, Nixon and Russia
Alex Altman
Feb 03, 2017
Few people in politics have known Donald Trump for as long as Roger Stone.
The controversial Republican consultant has advised Trump off and on since they met in 1979, and he was a close but informal confidant for much of the epic presidential campaign. Stone’s book about the race, The Making of the President 2016, was released this week.”
