After Republicans paid political homage to Donald Trump, Congressional Republicans just embarrassed themselves and it didn’t even take 24 hours.
Acccording to the Washington Post, Roger Stone confirmed to “two friends” that Julian Assange told him in 2016 that he had e-mails that would harm Democrats.
Look for more and more of this to be leaked.
Republicans are going to rue the day that their banana Republic-an antics, that were meant to “absolve” Trump, backfire on them. Trump has massive ties with Russia.
In the spring of 2016, longtime political operative Roger Stone had a phone conversation that would later seem prophetic, according to the person on the other end of the line.
Stone, an informal adviser to then-candidate Donald Trump, said he had learned from WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange that his organization had obtained emails that would torment senior Democrats such as John Podesta, then campaign chairman for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
The conversation occurred before it was publicly known that hackers had obtained the emails of Podesta and of the Democratic National Committee, documents which WikiLeaks released in late July and October. The U.S. intelligence community later concluded the hackers were working for Russia.
The person, who spoke to The Washington Post on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing federal investigation into Russian campaign interference, is one of two Stone associates who say Stone claimed to have had contact with Assange in 2016.
The second, former Trump adviser Sam Nunberg, said in an interview Monday that Stone told him that he had met with Assange — a conversation Nunberg said investigators for special counsel Robert S. Mueller III recently asked him to describe.
