In a series of exclusive interviews, former Fox News Channel chief political correspondent Carl Cameron explained to ThinkProgress how the Russians coordinated their cyber attack on the 2016 election with the Trump campaign.

“Trump confidant Roger Stone’s success was having the connections and creating the opportunities for [Russian intelligence officer] Guccifer2.0 and other Russian groups to really start taking advantage of social media and pounding these negative memes that Hillary’s a crook, et cetera,” Cameron explained to ThinkProgress’ Joe Romm — as related in the new book, How to Go Viral and Reach Millions.

Russian interference was decisive in electing Trump, as former director of national intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. told PBS in late May. “To me, it just exceeds logic and credulity that they didn’t affect the election, and it’s my belief they actually turned it,” Clapper said.

How the Trump campaign and the Russians coordinated their message
In his interviews with ThinkProgress, Cameron, who covered the Trump campaign for Fox News, connected the dots between the campaign, Russian intelligence, and the various Russian trolls around the world who were creating and viralizing memes and fake news on social media to help elect Trump.


The email Roger Stone didn’t want anyone to see
Cameron explained that getting Trump elected had been a major goal of long-time Trump adviser and surrogate Roger Stone. Stone had encouraged Trump to run for years, and in 2000 he worked on Trump’s brief run for the Reform Party presidential nomination. He worked for Trump’s presidential campaign in 2015 before transitioning to a more informal advisory role.

1. Maggot mouth Stone...can't stand him...

I watched the Netflix special about him and he's got a mouth that his mama should wash out, and wash out repeatedly.

Idiot and basically stole our votes to satisfy his craven need to be in charge of anything. Send him to prison where he can practice his electioneering on his fellow inmates, rump, Pruitt, perry, rest of rump's admin.

Perhaps after years and years of Stone's electioneering and his mouth, the inmates will either kill him or themselves!

P.S. If you think I don't like this guy, you're right. He is the spitting image of what dirty politics is all about. We don't need this garbage in our politics. People can be nice and cordial to each other, and explain their stand on various issues w/o having to gutter mouth stuff into the mix. Enough! We, as Americans are better than this and don't need the likes of this POS to dictate/mandate how elections should be ran...

2. Carl Cameron is the one who wrote a story with numerous fabricated quotes from John Kerry.

Look at the things this child writes in his free time.

3. Great Synopsis of the known facts of the case along with summaries of what Cameron stipulated in his

interviews with TP.com.

Though I'd have liked to see more actual direct Cameron quotes from those interviews, I'm presuming the content of the interviews will be forthcoming.

4. I remember when he retired from Faux Noose ....

Last year.

To me he's a GIANT, lying douche bag.

However, IF he really said what he said about that freaky, disgusting, treasonous low-life Roger Stone does sound very plausible.
