Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsRick Wilson informed the Mueller team about cutout between Roger Stone & Trump
When Roger goes on national television and lies about not being in contact with the Trump legal and political team, he's hoping you won't ask about the cutout Trump uses to reach him these days.
Yes, I informed the Mueller team. You're welcome!

Cause I had to Google it... In espionage parlance, a cut-out is a mutually trusted intermediary, method or channel of communication that facilitates the exchange of information between agents.

I literally thought of a paper cutout, like this one: (and given that Trump needs colored graphs and cartoons to understand his briefings, I don't think I was so off base. )

(26,277 posts)4. I feel silly asking this, but what is a 'cutout'?
I've already eliminated the possibility it has anything to do with paper dolls, which are the only 'cutouts' I've ever heard of.

(29,719 posts)18. Would that have been Credico? Or Corsi?
I think Credico.
ToxMarz
(2,169 posts)20. I think this is something else
Corsi and Credico were the alleged contacts with Stone and Wikileaks.
This tweet is today and I believe he is referring to the contact (cut-out) Trump is currently using to communicate with Stone
