An associate of the former Trump campaign adviser Roger J. Stone Jr. released documents on Tuesday showing that as the presidential campaign heated up in the summer of 2016, Mr. Stone tried to dispatch him to find out what information WikiLeaks had that could prove damaging to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
Mr. Corsi’s dealings with Mr. Mueller’s prosecutors have caused alarm among the president’s legal team, who were informed of developments by Mr. Corsi’s lawyer. President Trump’s lawyers were especially troubled by a draft statement of offense against Mr. Corsi that was passed on to them, according to people familiar with the situation. In it, prosecutors claimed that Mr. Corsi understood that Mr. Stone was “in regular contact with senior members of the Trump campaign, including with then-candidate Donald J. Trump” when he asked Mr. Corsi in late July 2016 to “get to” Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks.
He said prosecutors are especially interested in an email he sent to Mr. Stone on Aug. 2, 2016, saying “Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps,” he wrote. “Impact planned to be very damaging.” He said he was referring to Mr. Assange, who has lived in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London for years, but that he was merely speculating about what WikiLeaks had planned and had no inside information.
He said that prosecutors are wrongly accusing him of lying to them about that message and others when he is guilty of no more than a faulty memory.

stone left the Trump campaign in early 2016, long before this alleged event occurred. Correct?
Russia Russia Russia
So opposition research is a crime now. Because Hillary.
So what?
Ping to Dr. Corsi getting into more trouble with Mueller! Hope POTUS Trump can pardon him.
NYT reporters are really excited about this and seem to think Stone is implicated, but Stone has a good comeback:
Begin quote in the article:
“Mr. Stone said on his website that Mr. Corsi was confused about what took place. “Jerry is simply mistaken that what we discussed was a cover. Ask yourself, ‘a cover for what?’” he wrote. “In August 2016, there was no investigation, no special counsel, no congressional committees and no subpoenas, why would a story be necessary?”

#1. BFD.
#2. Why should I believe “an associate”.
#3. Why should I believe the NY Slimes?
The real question here is who on the special counsel’s staff is Maggie Halberman sleeping with? Her name repeatedly appears on thes special counsel leaks
Take out the words....”Word Is”...and you might have something. But does it even matter.

Julian Assange: ‘A lot more material’ coming on US elections

(CNN)Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said Tuesday his whistleblowing website might release “a lot more material” relevant to the US electoral campaign.
Assange was speaking in a CNN interview following the release of nearly 20,000 emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee by suspected Russian hackers.
If Matthew Chance at CNN was writing about Assange releasing additional information before Corsi sent email then shouldn’t Mueller be putting screws to CNN reporter as well?

The Dems & deep state are trying to ex-post-facto Corsi.
Mr Stone hit the nail on the head.
The Democrats and Mueller seem to be defining the seeking of information by Republicans as a crime. Curious. For electoral fairness it is legally required that Republicans remain ignorant?
Maybe you didn’t read the part about documents released.
This could be potentially damaging but again is it a CRIME? I don’t think so.
Digging up dirt isn’t a crime.
Maybe a few independent voting a@@holes will change their vote. That will be the worst of it.
This is their response to Corsi saying “No” to MuleFace. They can’t abide by men standing up against them. It infuriates them. They want to crush everyone they can. They may or may not be lying. Probably lying.
Corsi’s side of the story is both more interesting and more verifiable.
More Maggie Haberman trash. Please lock them all up. I’m done with this sideshow.
Opposition research by Republicans is patently illegal, immoral, and just plain evil.
PRECISELY!!!!!!
Would you like pickles with this NOTHINGBURGER?
“WORD IS” can be “CNN SAYS”
$30,000,000.00+ for this!?
