Awaiting a response from the DoJ:
**crickets**
It's a good thing Roger Stone isn't a poor kid of color caught selling weed on the street, or a woman in Texas tragically needing an abortion to save her life, or this might be a criminal justice matter requiring legal penalties and consequences.

@danwentzel this is bigger than that jerk, though.
We're going to see more and more inability to sort out what's real from what's AI generated going forward.
Even after Stone has shuffled off this mortal coil--and I don't get the impression his health is so great these days--we're still going to need better ways to sort authentic from increasingly convincing forgery.
This has been coming for a long time, but journalistic institutions in particular haven't laid the groundwork to respond to it.
I honestly don't care about Stone. He seems to LOVE attention, positive or negative, so I figure the DOJ going after him, well, I think he'd enjoy it.
But there are some bigger issues here, even bigger than criminal justice, if we can't even tell what's factual.
