Indicting Roger Stone, Mueller Shows Link Between Trump Campaign and WikiLeaks Video

WASHINGTON — The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, revealed on Friday the most direct link yet between the Trump campaign’s and WikiLeaks’ parallel efforts to use Democratic Party material stolen by Russians to damage the election campaign of Hillary R. Clinton.

In an indictment unsealed Friday, the special counsel disclosed evidence that a top campaign official in 2016 dispatched Roger J. Stone, a longtime adviser to President Trump, to get information from WikiLeaks about the thousands of hacked Democratic emails. The effort began well after it was widely reported that Russian intelligence operatives were behind the theft, which was part of Moscow’s broad campaign to sabotage the 2016 president election.

That they have acquired 'Dirt' on Hillary Clinton, at the Trump Tower meeting, in June/July (I forget which).

And then JUNIOR told them 'I LOVE IT, ESPECIALLY LATER IN THE SUMMER', which is exactly when the Russian's released said 'dirt'.

And when Trump publicly said "Russia, if you're LISTENING ...", the Russians then responded within hours and began trying to hack Hillary's campaign servers to 'find the missing emails'.

And then of course Trump started floating his 'could be 300-lb guy in New Jersey in his Basement' excuse as to the provenance of Wikileaks documents ... even though 12 US Security agencies had already unanimously declared that Russians were the culprits.

WHY was he making this excuse? Because he was ALREADY trying to LIE as to why it was 'okay' ... for his campaign to be coordinating the releases of these STOLEN documents. After all, if they're just stolen by some American, nothing wrong with promoting their dissemination. I mean, who cares that they're STOLEN, in a FELONY?!?

Man, I hope so much Mueller has SOMETHING that proves that Stone knew that the Russians were behind the theft. Even better that he conveyed it to the Trump Campaign.

I mean not that they didn't ABSOLUTELY already know ... in fact, that's what the Trump Tower meeting was ABOUT FFS.

I've said all along, that meeting was NEVER about physically receiving Documents i.e 'Dirt', it was about coordinating their release ... in exchange for Trumps promise to remove the Magnitsky Act Sanctions (which is what 'Adoptions' was a code for). If Junior ACTUALLY believed he would be receiving the 'dirt', at the meeting, as he claimed ... then WHY DID HE SAY 'ESPECIALLY LATER IN THE SUMMER'?
