As emails from within the Clinton campaign continue to be released, Trump ally and infamous “dirty trickster” Roger Stone admitted that he has back-channel ties to Wikileaks’ founder Julian Assange, the organization that is disclosing the emails.

“I do have a back-channel communication with Assange, because we have a good mutual friend,” Stone told CBS4 in Miami Wednesday evening. “That friend travels back and forth from the United States to London and we talk. I had dinner with him last Monday.” Stone clarified that he had never personally met Assange.

Wikileaks is currently releasing emails hacked from the personal account of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and previously released emails hacked from DNC leadership. Podesta told reporters that Stone had warned him about the leaks in advance. “Stone pointed his finger at me, and said that I could expect some treatment that would expose me,” he told reporters Tuesday.

Intelligence officials believe that the Russian government is behind the hacks as part of a concerted effort to sway the election. Podesta said: “This level of meddling by a foreign power can only be aimed at boosting Donald Trump and should send chills down the spine of all Americans, regardless of political party.’’

1. the plot thickens

10. Not really..

Roger Stone is a known exaggerator and always makes himself as a key player in any political crisis, when he is a really a very secondary player at best. Republican political operatives for decades have kept a distance from Stone, because they don't trust him.

Julian Assange lives in a two tiny rooms in the Ecuadorian Embassy, it is a prison of his own making. He really doesn't have much power or control. His only power is Public Relations, and the image that he is all powerful. The Russian are just feeding Assange and Wikileaks the information..

2. I wish these writers would stop using "Clinton emails"

They slant the perception of what the emails actually are and who wrote them. They should also use the term illegally hacked too!!

8. agreed

the term is misleading at best, and false at worst. and there has been no proof that these documents at real or not altered....piss poor journalism. and why would they after all this crap the last year use a unsecured email server ....makes my ass want a pinch of snuff!

3. I hope we see an arrest of Roger Stone in coming days...that would be sweet

4. Now the hair on the back of my neck is on end n/t

[Thinkingabout]

5. I am thinking it is time to start feeding the email frenzy. Since they latch

On to every word start releasing those who accuse Trump of overstepping his limits give the releases between faux emails, wonder if they would believe the abuse

6. So Assange is looking for a little "squid pro quo"?

He helps tRump with the emails and tRump helps him get out of his mess with four counts of sexual offense: one of unlawful coercion, two of molestation and one of rape.
Just one dirt bag helping another....

9. but, but....

isn't the Drumpfster the "Law and Order" candidate? Why is he supporting and enabling a fugitive from justice? I thought no one respects women more than him. Why isn't he lobbying for the extradition of Assange? I'm so very confused.....

7. Now they are getting in a froth because they think she had Scalia killed

There is an email that mentions "wet works," which apparently means assassination? LMAO

11. last laugh on these asshats as more women come forward against Drumpf

Hate to tell the R's but no one cares about Hillary's emails. They are NOTHING compared to a sexual predator running for highest office in the land.
