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.

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.

In 2016, Cameron explained, Stone helped Guccifer2.0 — who worked for Russian intelligence — and other Russian-backed groups boost an anti-Clinton narrative online targeted at key groups. Stone direct-messaged with Guccifer2.0 and WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange on Twitter in August 2016.

As Cameron explained to ThinkProgress, a key goal of this coordination was to create opportunities for Russian intelligence and Russian trolls. The point was to viralize the anti-Clinton memes and narratives to suppress the vote for her.

1. Zippy's in trouble.

[Honeycombe8]

18. Zippy? nt

[Volaris]

24. Stone looks like Zippy the Pinhead

[Honeycombe8]

30. Oh. Thx. nt

[Kingofalldems]

28. ....

[Honeycombe8]

31. Oh, wow! I never saw him from that angle before. Weird. nt

[machoneman]

32. Me neither! Wow, he's lost the entire back-half of his brain!

Oh, on second thought, nawh!

He's a republiscum! He never had a..........................brain!

[Honeycombe8]

33. Explains a lot. nt

[truthisfreedom]

35. There must be a name for pinheadedness.

Oh yeah. He's a pinhead.

[ChazInAz]

38. Microcephaly

[karynnj]

2. Wow - Carl Cameron was terrible against the Democrats in the past, especially in 2004!

I wonder if this is just Cameron or if we are reaching a turning point.

[quartz007]

5. I do not trust Carl Cameron as far as I can throw him

I did not know he had left Fox News. Where is he at now?

[RandomAccess]

11. Isn't he the one who left the White House after Hope Hicks

said, "these emails will never see the light of day" -- or whatever it was she said?

[Honeycombe8]

19. He worked for the White House, too? nt

[RandomAccess]

21. Nope -- looked it up. I confused him with

Mark Corallo.

There are too damned many players in this game!!

[Cha]

37. Bad actors?

[MBS]

17. hoping for a turning point, but. .

with this increasingly convoluted and insane real-life-but-unbelievable plot, not to mention the limited credibility of the low-life characters involved. . I guess we have to stay tuned. . (insert a "going crazy with anxiety" emoji here)

[still_one]

26. More likely concerned that he sees the writing on the wall. Perhaps like rats leaving a sinking

ship

[DeltaLitProf]

36. Cameron's a Bush-family shill

His wife worked in the W administration.

[Leghorn21]

3. COMIN IN HOT, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

Holy shit, FOX NEWS telling tales on king ratfucker!!?

Thank you, ffr, this day is getting more and more delicious!! Dayam!!

[quartz007]

6. Yes, Mueller should be unloading anytime now!

I am certain Mueller has enough evidence collected by now.

[Honeycombe8]

20. I doubt it.

This is so complex and multi-pronged, and the case has to be so tight, with the level of evidence extraordinary, that I'm sure he's not at the end of even analyzing the evidence.

Consider that they haven't reviewed the Cohen documents yet, even. Manafort hasn't turned. All witnesses haven't been interviewed.

There's a ways to go yet. Miles to go before we sleep.

[quartz007]

23. What? While he gets to appoint more judges

all over the country? And the EPA keeps on being castrated?
And imposing tariffs on long time allies?

Mueller needs to understand time is not our friend here.

[NickB79]

27. Those things aren't relevant to Mueller's investigation

His one mission goal is to look for evidence of criminal activity in the Trump administration. He is not here to save us from Trump; he's a registered Republican himself. The difference is, he's a professional who takes his job seriously and will follow the evidence wherever it leads.

Implying that his job is to find evidence to impeach Trump and flip the balance of power in Washington only gives ammunition to those who scream about witch hunts. Mueller may eventually find evidence to do so, but we should not look to him as our savior.

[Javaman]

15. FORMER fox news...nt

[Leghorn21]

25. Understood, Javaman - but I like that he was there for 22 years (1995-2017) and so is very much a

known quantity in Foxville (he retired last year, as opposed to getting fired, so I think he left under good circumstances with a good reputation in hand) ... well, we’ll see how far his insider info travels into the world o’ fox - !!!!!

[Iliyah]

4. Shit, everyone knows except for t-rump, his administration, SHS,

GOP congress and the minority GOP base, including, but not limited to White Nationalist/Right Wing propaganda machine.

So they claim.

Liar liar liar, pants on fire . . . . . .

[Eliot Rosewater]

8. Good thing rump and stone and manafort arent democrats, they would all be in prison if they were

[ToxMarz]

7. Maybe this will help a Fox viewer understand

but no one else needs him to man-splain it to them.

[gopiscrap]

9. stone should have been sent to prison in the 1970"s

for his Watergate involvement...definitely should be wearing orange now

[gibraltar72]

10. With a perfect pocket square.

[quartz007]

12. Roger Stone? He looks like a creep!

He even looks like a crook.

[magicarpet]

13. The dirtiest dirty Rethug political operative from hell.

Stone is a piece of Fascist Scum.

[jayschool2013]

16. Yep

Cameron explains, “it’s important to know that Roger’s entire career was based on doing dirty tricks. He boasted about it from the time he was in college until today.”

Stone is one of the original "ratfuckers." After Hair Twitler, I'd love to see Stone sentenced to a century in Gitmo.

[FakeNoose]

34. Yep. He's like Karl Rove on speed.

The worst!

[LudwigPastorius]

14. Maybe Stone can get a prison tat of Donald Trump's doughy, puckered-lipped face next to...

the Nixon tat on his back.

[C Moon]

22. And the bone heads that ate it up are still hating Hillary. They won't know what to do next,

until they're told what to do next.

[jpak]

29. Kick, Kick, Kick, Kick, Kick

and Fucking A
