Donald Trump ally Roger Stone responded Wednesday to Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s claim that he had advance knowledge of the release of Podesta’s emails, calling it a “vile smear” that he “categorically denies...”
He also added, “I don’t need the Wikileaks to educate me on the illicit activities, including money laundering for Russian interests, of the Podestas.”
The Podesta Group, which John Podesta’s brother runs, was included in the Panama Papers as a lobbyist for Russia’s biggest bank. “John Podesta makes Paul Manafort look like Mother Theresa,” Stone said.

The other interesting aspect here is that Podesta is knee deep in money from the Russians yet he is blaming the Russians for Hillary's e-mail problems.
This stinks of desperation.
At least it’s an admission that the emails are authentic.
Why not just say, why yes I’m In Cahoots with them. Now... about the embarrassing and illegal stuff that I found out you did...
If someone could just get them believing one of their own broke ranks and leaked to wiki.
Probably a valid point.
Oh man I need more popcorn!
There are rumors that the 33,000 e-mails Hillary deleted are now available and should be released shortly. If that is true, that will kill the Hillary campaign.
You bastard, you only know I beat my wife because you were looking in my windows!
At this point I don’t think it’s a vile smear to be associated with WikiLeaks.
It’s at least a thousand times better than being in cahoots with D.C. pols and bureaucrats.
Best. Election. Ever.
Hoozah! Hoozah! Hoozah!
We all know who Roger Stone is. I have been aware of him since the 70’s. But this group, the folks who visit Free Republic, is an unusually aware and attentive group. Most of the public doesn’t know him from Herman Keyhole, IV. So, for Podesta, as busy has he must be at their point, to bother to even pronounce his name is an unusual allocation of resources.
It is the usual—the Dems generally and the Clintons more than anyone accuse their opponents of exactly what they are guilty of and thus vulnerable on.
It is a conscious strategy.
Roger Stone said Hillary was going to quit last week.
He gave a date. He was wrong.
Trump dumped him for a reason.
Trumped “dumped” him because he had done his job. Nomination secured , now election, so different problem different team needed!
