FBI documents reveal communication between Stone, Assange

Weeks after Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel in the Russia investigation, Roger Stone, a confidant of President Donald Trump, reassured WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in a Twitter message that if prosecutors came after him, “I will bring down the entire house of cards,” according to FBI documents made public Tuesday.

The records reveal the extent of communications between Stone and Assange, whose anti-secrecy website published Democratic emails hacked by Russians during the 2016 presidential election, and underscore efforts by Trump allies to gain insight about the release of information they expected would embarrass Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.

The documents — FBI affidavits submitted to obtain search warrants in the criminal investigation into Stone — were released following a court case brought by The Associated Press and other media organizations.

In a statement Tuesday, Stone acknowledged that the search warrant affidavits contain private communication, but insisted that they “prove no crimes.”

“I have no trepidation about their release as they confirm there was no illegal activity and certainly no Russian collusion by me during the 2016 Election,” Stone said. “There is, to this day, no evidence that I had or knew about the source or content of the Wikileaks disclosures prior to their public release.”

The emails were published daily online for everybody to read... And if Hillary’s top advisor Podesta had changed his password from ‘password’ who knows... The fact that the emails were hacked and accessed proves that Hillary’s crime of communicating on a unsecure server was the reason why her emails were hacked.

Assange said the E-mails were not hacked by the Russians. Here in this article the Associated Press says they were hacked by the Russians. Where do they get that from?

1. There still is no proof that Russians hacked the email server. 2. The emails were released to the world way before Stone looked into them. They were there for everyone to read

Yeah, so what? If it a crime to ask if more releases are coming, and if so, when?

Isn’t funny how they are covering up all the recent document releases showing that Flynn was set up. And that the entire Russia gate narrative was Hillary/DNC setup being run by crooked justice officials.

Well they are not going be able to cover it up once the Indictments start dropping.

Someone needs to bring down these reprobates who have ruined the country with their self-serving agendas . . .agendas certainly not for “we the people”. Keep praying for exposure of evil ploys, plots and schemes in this government and media.

They weren’t obtained by hackers, it was an inside job.

Yes, you saw that too, didn’t you. Convenient time to write a distraction.

"Democratic emails hacked by Russians..."

Most thinking people know that the emails were not hacked by the Russians but most likely leaked by someone within the DNC.

I seem to recall one of the leaked emails from John Podesta, longtime Clinton lawyer and confidant, saying something like he was in favor of making an example of the leaker.

Seems the DNC already knew it wasn't the Russians, which is why they refused to let the FBI do a forensic analysis on the hardware because they would have discovered the server had not been hacked.

Then, lo and behold, Mr Rich, a DNC staffer, was subsequently murdered in DC, a crime that has never been solved.

Yes. The mighty fbi which went after Manafort and Stone with max force, timidly backed off from examining the dnc server.

Crowd Strike told them russians, they reported that to muler, and now the chicom stooge media apes “the russians did it” over and over. mulers rubberstamp being the “proof.”

Hope Seth Rich gets justice someday but I doubt it.

It's all bulls**t to deflect attention from what was actually in the emails.

The veracity of the content has never been denied.

Where’s the proof that AP referred to that the Russians hacked the DNC computers? So far I’ve only read statements by the FBI but have seen no material proof/evidence that it was the Russians and not Anonymous, Macedonian Troll Farmers (what do they feed their Trolls as they are growing?), etc.

If Gen. Flynn’s case self-destructs this week, then Stone might be in a better position to ask for a retrial out of the area since Judge Berman is a political hack and corrupt as hell re the black Democrat operative who was the head of the jurors in his case.

Any honest judge would have thrown the case out or declared a mistrial and handed it over to another judge/jurisdiction for neutrality.
