Longtime Trump confidant Roger Stone claims to know the identity of the leaker who provided to The New York Times emails from Donald Trump Jr. about a meeting last year with a Kremlin-linked lawyer promising dirt that could hurt Hillary Clinton. But he's only giving away this person's initials.

Speaking to a gathering at the Capitol Hill Club for Young Republicans, Stone was asked if he knew anything about the Trump Jr. email controversy, which started taking command of headlines over the weekend after the Times first reported on the meeting.

According to Independent Journal Review, someone from American Bridge, a Democratic opposition research group, repeatedly pressed Stone on his knowledge of the leaker. Stone at first said he did know who it was, but was hesitant to reveal a name.

After saying he would not say who it was, Stone finally conceded, "Their initials are J.K."

IJR notes there are at least three high-level officials in the Trump administration with those initials: Jared Kushner, son-in-law to President Trump; Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly; and Jeremy Katz, a deputy assistant to the president.

Kushner was in attendance at the meeting, which took place in June 2016, along with Trump Jr., former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, and the Russian attorney, Natalia Veselnitskaya.

Is it Jared?

I was under the impression that Trump Jr had released the emails himself....

Ivanka is just stunning. Jared is one lucky mofo.

[faithhopecharity]

ha! good one

but

i fear we all may have bitten the poison bait

by letting the commies and SorozNazi dictate the public discourse agenda

even the talk shows are spending 90% percent of their time yacking (and yes, debunking).. this anti-Trump BullKrap garbage

instead of, say, informing us about the (hopefully all) good things DJT is doing or trying to do for us

we are caught in the Swamp and the SorozNazi mass media and DNC operatives are eating DJT’s presidency alive..destroying it

with McShame and LIndsay and sometimes the Maine lady senator and a couple more....collaborating in the saboutage

Frankly, I find her appearance rather harsh; certainly not “stunning” in a pleasing way.

He did. But before he did, the NYT had them. Kushner is a good bet for Stone's accusation, seeing as Kushner was copied on all of them.

I actually think Tiffany Trump is the more attractive one in a natural and wholesome sort of way.

Kushner doesn’t make much sense because he is part of this story as well.

Why would he want it to get publicity?

[rfp1234]

J.K. also stands for “Just Kidding”. This Stone character may be trolling us.

[CaptainK]

I’d bet Manafort before Jared.
One of the investigative commities might have been offering him immunity to come up with some evidence of “collusion.

This is weak collusion but the deep state would be happy to get its hands on anything.

and, VD.

[Democrats hate too much]

John Kerry

[Ann Archy]

Well....Jared IS a Democrat!!! NEVER TRUST A DEMONCRAT!!!

[Drew68]

Their initials are J.K."

Johnny Knoxville? Jimmy Kimmel? Julie Kavner? Jeffrey Katzenberg? Jack Kevorkian? John F'in Kerry THAT BASTARD!

he was talking to WHO?

You are not obligated to tell any lawyer-turned-reporter -anything- unless it's in front of a judge or under sworn testimony. They are not agents of the state. And it's not a lie unless it's in front of a judge or under sworn testimony. And the sooner people figure that out, the better - because reporters already know this and still exploit people's ignorance.

[blueplum]

there was no ‘leaker’ in the WH. Jared, Manafort and others had already submitted their contacts/meetings list for the ongoing investigations and the meeting was listed. Go talk to congressional staffers. But why Stone is stirring the pot, I’d like to know.
