Roger Stone told Newsmax’s Finnerty on Monday that he was “dragged to the courthouse in shackles,” using his own experience as a blunt example of what many conservatives see as the Biden-era Justice Department’s political prosecutions. Stone’s remarks — delivered with the blunt certainty his supporters expect — framed a glaring contrast between how he was treated and how high-profile Democrats and former officials are now being handled.
Stone reminded viewers of the dramatic predawn FBI raid on his Florida home in January 2019, an episode that was filmed by CNN and widely replayed as proof of how aggressively prosecutors went after him. He also pointed to the gag order he says muzzled his ability to defend himself publicly while the media narrative ran unchecked.
The record is clear: Stone was convicted in 2019 on charges of lying to Congress, obstruction and witness tampering, and he faced a harsh sentence that President Trump later commuted before ultimately issuing a pardon. Conservatives will remember the spectacle of the prosecution and the swampy politics that surrounded the Mueller-era cases — a stark backdrop to today’s new legal battles.
Now look at the striking reversal of fortunes under the current Department of Justice: former FBI Director James Comey was indicted in late September, and New York Attorney General Letitia James was hit with federal charges in early October. Those developments underline the point Stone made on air — the same institutions that once pursued him now find themselves investigating or indicting prominent Democrats and establishment figures.
This isn’t about celebrating anyone’s legal peril; it’s about demanding equal application of the law. Patriots who love this country know that justice must be blind, not blindfolded on one side and magnifying inefficiencies on the other, and Americans should be furious when the justice system appears to operate as a political tool. Stone’s blunt testimony on Newsmax should be a wake-up call: if the rule of law is to mean anything, it must protect every citizen equally, not only those who control the levers of power.
If you care about liberty and the integrity of our institutions, pay attention and push back against double standards. Hold prosecutors and judges to the same standard of fairness they profess when pursuing conservatives, and demand that the next chapter of this story be one of true accountability rather than partisan revenge.
