Fox & Friends take? Where is the Russian collusion?

The office of Robert Mueller released a 24-page indictment, which presents an extremely difficult situation for live television hosts to report on and interpret in real time. The details of the indictment are damning to the Trump campaign, alleging that Stone was ostensibly working as proxy between WikiLeaks and a senior Trump campaign official. Stone is alleged to have even have received credit from senior Trump campaign officials for helping release information damaging to Hillary Clinton and info hacked from a DNC server.

From the indictment:

“On or about October 7, 2016, Organization 1 released the first set of emails stolen from the Clinton Campaign chairman. Shortly after Org. 1’s release, an associate of the high- ranking Trump Campaign official sent a text message to STONE that read “well done.””

So, the indictment appears to connect the Trump campaign to information hacked by Russian officials who have already been indicted by Mueller for interfering in the election.

But Steve Doocy’s take? “When you look at seven counts from the grand jury, obstruction of an official investigation, false statements to Congress, and perhaps witness tampering, once again, where is the Russia collusion?”

Ed Henry agreed, saying “right, it is a process crime based on the investigation.”

1. Wikileaks eom

[underpants]

2. Ed Henry sounds like a Limbaugh parrot

He’s been on the “process crime” for a while

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

8. I'd like to process a plate of knuckle sandwiches to Eds smug head.

[Solomon]

19. Lol

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

21. Heh heh heh.

Have a good weekend. Glad i made you laugh.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

3. Now they are "highly suspicious" of CNN

In a tizzy cnn was there

[blm]

7. Why was FOX news crew NOT there staking out Stone's house when his indictment was

expected? Competent news teams are prepared for these moments. Better stake out Don Jr, too, if the rumors he, himself, is sharing come true.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

10. Lordy I hope you're right.

[dhol82]

26. According to my one and only winger contact, CNN is the devil incarnate

They only speak in fake news.
Really. That is what they believe. My acquaintance will not watch CNN or read the NYTimes. They contaminate minds by mere sight.

[dawg day]

4. Uh, because what he lied about was colluding with the Russians?

But that's okay, lil Stevie. You go ahead and bluster while Mueller builds that steel-slat wall around your bibgboy Trump.

[DemKittyNC]

5. Umm...

It is pretty much laid out in the Indictment, assholes! Learn to read!

[Jarqui]

6. They'll ignore this but in the Stone indictment

https://www.lawfareblog.com/document-indictment-roger-stone

STONE was contacted by senior Trump Campaign officials to inquire about future releases by Organization 1.
...
STONE also continued to communicate with members of the Trump Campaign about Organization 1 and its intended future releases.
...
By in or around June and July 2016, STONE informed senior Trump Campaign officials that he had information indicating Organization 1 had documents whose release would be damaging to the Clinton Campaign. The head of Organization 1 was located at all relevant times at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, United Kingdom.
...
After the July 22, 2016 release of stolen DNC emails by Organization 1, a senior Trump Campaign official was directed to contact STONE about any additional releases and what other damaging information Organization 1 had regarding the Clinton Campaign. STONE thereafter told the Trump Campaign about potential future releases of damaging material by Organization 1.
...
On or about October 3, 2016, STONE wrote to a supporter involved with the Trump Campaign, “Spoke to my friend in London last night. The payload is still coming.”

...
On or about October 4, 2016, the head of Organization 1 held a press conference but did not release any new materials pertaining to the Clinton Campaign. Shortly afterwards, STONE received an email from the high-ranking Trump Campaign official asking about the status of future releases by Organization 1. STONE answered that the head of Organization 1 had a “[s]erious security concern” but that Organization 1 would release “a load every week going forward.”
...
Later that day, on or about October 4, 2016, the supporter involved with the Trump Campaign asked STONE via text message if he had “hear[d] anymore from London.” STONE replied, “Yes - want to talk on a secure line - got Whatsapp?” STONE subsequently told the supporter that more material would be released and that it would be damaging to the Clinton Campaign.
...
On or about October 7, 2016, Organization 1 released the first set of emails stolen from the Clinton Campaign chairman. Shortly after Organization 1’s release, an associate of the highranking Trump Campaign official sent a text message to STONE that read “well done.” In subsequent conversations with senior Trump Campaign officials, STONE claimed credit for having correctly predicted the October 7, 2016 release.
...
The email from STONE on or about October 3, 2016 to the supporter involved with the Trump Campaign, which read in part, “Spoke to my friend in London last night. The payload is still coming.”; and
The emails on or about October 4, 2016 between STONE and the high-ranking member of the Trump Campaign, including STONE’s statement that Organization 1 would release “a load every week going forward.”
...
On multiple occasions, STONE told senior Trump Campaign officials about
materials possessed by Organization 1 and the timing of future releases.

From the above, I think the notion that there was no collusion with the Trump campaign is facing extinction. The Trump campaign congratulated Stone with "Well done" and they coordinated with the timing of the releases. etc

Rudy Giuliani knew this. Their only defense left is that Trump himself wasn't directly involved ... which remains to be seen ...

11. +1

[Wounded Bear]

13. Faux Noise is trying to nit-pick a distinction between Wikeleaks and the Russians...

I presume.

IAE, Wiki is a non-US entity with ties to the Putin mob, so the rest of us know the truth. Only Trumplodytes and Fauxbots will believe otherwise. They are a decreasing bloc of the electorate.

[uponit7771]

17. +1, they're intimating wikileaks does not equal Russians

[SidDithers]

30. This is my favourite part of the whole Stone spectacle...

"The head of Organization 1 was located at all relevant times at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, United Kingdom. "

[Blue_Tires]

9. I'm guessing this will be Greenwald's take as well

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

12. "We need to talk on a secure line...do you have What's App?"

omg.

[EleanorR]

14. Fox is a propaganda arm of the radical right

There's a revolving door between the trump admin and fox in terms of personnel and propaganda.

[FakeNoose]

15. Well the fact that Pootie owns Julian Assange as much as he owns Cheeto

... is proof enough for most of us. Assange hasn't made much effort to conceal his ass-kissing of Putin either.

That's OK Faux News, we know you're a little slow figuring this stuff out.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

16. Hopefully Assange is indicted by dinnertime.

[FakeNoose]

18. Yep - my thought exactly

Our guys won't be able to bring him in though. Maybe the London police force can help us?
Don't know how we can get him.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

20. Ecuador will have good cause to remove the louse from the compound.

He's going down too. I'm really rooting for a jared/don jr./invanker trifecta myself.

[FakeNoose]

23. Yes but he's not in Ecuador

He's occupying their embassy in London. If they kick him out, the London police could maybe grab him for extradition? Not sure how that works. Guaranteed, Pootie will try something to get him out.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

24. Yes. the Embassy in London, but still Ecuadorean ground.

[UniteFightBack]

22. Faux & Fucks are real good at playing to their audience....DUMB. nt

[ChoppinBroccoli]

25. Anyone Have Any Guesses Who The "Senior/High-Ranking Trump Campaign Official" Is?

It sure sounds like Don, Jr. to me.

[SidDithers]

31. Rumours are that it's Bannon...nt

Sid

[Firestorm49]

27. If the shoe were on the other foot.....blah, blah.....apoplectic, beyond themselves.

[gratuitous]

28. Send your straws to Fox!

They're running out of things to grasp at.

[SWBTATTReg]

29. Who listens to this joke of a news cast? faux AND so called friends are simply trying ...

to drum up ratings, and only ratings. Could care less about anyone but themselves. Just wait until they are indicted for aiding and abetting these crooks. That's how I am viewing these idiotic broadcasts as well as the news anchors from f & f...they are tainting themselves (if they haven't already) and are viewed as a joke by many.

Sad and pathetic.

Their very selective news reporting is deliberately misleading and intentional, designed solely to mislead, misinform, and muddy the waters around these serious indictments. Attempting to circumvent justice. Plain and simple for all to see w/ our own eyes.

Very toxic and this will be remembered by all when the crap finally goes down.

[MyOwnPeace]

32. It IS interesting to think.........

about what will happen to FauxKnews when IQ45 is gone, one way or another.

One can only wish them the worst!

[SWBTATTReg]

33. Yeah, really! Pence is too boring. Nt

[MyOwnPeace]

34. Probably go back to

more "Benghazi" updates!
