MIAMI One day in late May 2016, Roger Stone the political dark sorcerer and longtime confidant of Donald Trump slipped into his Jaguar and headed out to meet a man with a Make America Great Again hat and a viscous Russian accent.
The man, who called himself Henry Greenberg, offered damaging information about Hillary Clinton, Trumps presumptive Democratic opponent in the upcoming presidential election, according to Stone who spoke about the previously unreported incident in interviews with The Washington Post. Greenberg, who did not reveal the information he claimed to possess, wanted Trump to pay $2 million for the political dirt, Stone said.
You dont understand Donald Trump, Stone recalled saying before rejecting the offer at a restaurant in the Russian-expat magnet of Sunny Isles, Fla. He doesnt pay for anything.
Later, Stone got a text message from Michael Caputo, a Trump campaign communications official whod arranged the meeting after Greenberg had approached Caputos Russian-immigrant business partner.

(11,885 posts)1. Stone will have a lot more exposing him and others,
And was involved deeply with what putin did to us. Just a matter of time before he realizes they have everything he's been involved with already, and are setting him up because they know he lies, a lot.

I couldn't get him to accept that cheap broke hemorrhoid's offer of $0 dollars for the info he got from Putin's intel agents.
So it's all legal.'
