"Former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone appeared to know there were sexual misconduct allegations involving Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) hours before they became public.

Stone has been banned from Twitter, but at 1 a.m. on Thursday morning an account connected to him tweeted a quote from the Republican political operative.

"Roger Stone says it's Al Franken's 'time in the barrel'. Franken next in long list of Democrats to be accused of 'grabby' behavior," read the tweet from Enter the Stone Zone."

"...Hours later, Leeann Tweeden, a KABC-AM news anchor, accused Franken of kissing and groping her without her consent in 2006. Tweeden said the incidents occurred during a USO tour to entertain troops abroad. She also tweeted a photograph of Franken as evidence..."

1. Follow the money...

A million dollars probably looks pretty good to an AM News Anchor...

2. Infowars knew too. Interesting read from Daily Kos

"So how did Stone know with such certainty and precision that Al Franken would be next, and how does he know there will be allegations against a “long line” of Democrats? And how is the timing so convenient — just as the tide is turning against Roy Moore? A “long line” of Dems will get accused... in the run-up to the Alabama senate special election?"

"So look how a fake allegation against a Dem, especially a Dem who passionately defends sexual assault victims, is a win for the right wing. Liberals themselves will be inclined to believe it, driven by their own morality. Any liberal who doubts it will be attacked by other liberals (amply helped by the Trumpcult and the bots) as a hypocrite or rape apologist. Liberals will be emotionally crushed by disillusionment to see one of their champions found guilty (before he’s actually been found guilty), adding to their cynicism about powerful men in general."

"However it gets even bigger and more evil than that. They cannot lose even if their plot is exposed and the accuser, or, better still, multiple accusers, are discredited."

"Why? Because, in far too many peoples’ minds, that discredits ALL accusers."

4. Wondering how many Republicans are being blackmailed over sexual misconduct. Am 100% sure it is

happening!

5. Not only this but there are people who dispute the accusation, what the hell ?!!?

6. I'd welcome Franken's investigation.

As much as he does. He knows exactly what lies below the surface.

7. & infowars writer knew too!

8. Franken was set up!

9. DU tweeps: go on Twitter to report Enter the Stone Zone

That appears to be Roger Stone trying to get around his Twitter ban.

My intuition tells me Franken was set up and the pic was photoshopped. Why do you think Sen. Franken himself asked for an ethics investigation? Guilty people don't welcome investigations.

10. Yes, Roger Stone needs to be reported to twitter where he was banned for life.
