Why doesn’t this psychopath ever get arrested? Is it just “The police are helpless against him; he’s not Black and he’s not selling loose cigarettes”?
Ah yes, the Roger Stone Triple-Down method, generating results since the 1960s.
(OT: Is he the evil version of Bob Barker?)
He does get arrested occasionally.
Florida is a 2-party consent state, so unless this recorded was obtained by law enforcement under a warrant, he’s actually right, I hate to say. Now, do I believe he said it? Of course he said it.
“If there is such an audio it would have to be illegally obtained and if there is such an audio it would have to be an AI generated fraud since I never said any of the words attributed to me.”
So which is it, Roger? Is it real but obtained illegally or fake (in which case which specific law is being broken by the creation of this “deepfake”?)
It could only be illegally obtained if he actually said it.

Plus New York is a one party state. And we don’t know if there’s a secret FISA warrant in play.
Does one party allow someone not in the conversation to record?
And NY is irrelevant here.
recording the outlet reported was made at a Florida restaurant.
Ah, yeah, misread that. Florida is an all party consent / two party consent state. Which brings us back to the FISA or other warrant question.
if there is such an audio it would have to be an AI generated fraud
Another regrettable though entirely predictable bit of fallout from the AI craze. From now on crooks will try to pass off any incriminating recording as an AI-generated fake. Post-truth world, indeed.
Don’t believe anything I’ve said and if I said it, I didn’t say it. (Ineffective use of Liar’s Paradox. No points.)
For some reason I remember reading a cartoon about Zippy the Pinhead by Bill Griffith (Thanks Google). Something about this post brought Zippy back to mind,
These guys project like nothing else, too, so expect ALL KINDS of recordings coming out soon about Biden and Epstein, Clinton and Epstein saying a lot of horrible things
Again I am struck by Roger Stone’s resemblance to the Golden Age Doctor Sivana, albeit with hair plugs.

Arrested, convicted on 7 counts, and pardoned by PotUS. Did you miss that particular news cycle?
That’s a nice audio you got there. It would be a shame if something bad was to happen to it.
Funny how his mind leapt to “illegally obtained” before “never happened”.
