In email to Trump's campaign strategist, Roger Stone implied he knew of WikiLeaks's plans

Roger Stone, a longtime adviser to President Trump, sent an email to Trump’s chief campaign strategist in October 2016 that implied that he had information about WikiLeaks’s plans to release material that would be damaging to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

In an email to Stephen K. Bannon on Oct. 4 — days before WikiLeaks began releasing emails hacked from the account of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta — Stone said that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange feared for his personal safety but would nevertheless be releasing “a load every week going forward.”

Stone posted the exchange with Bannon on Thursday in a column on the Daily Caller website, shortly before the New York Times published a story describing the message.

The 2016 email suggests that Stone — long known for a tendency to exaggerate and hype — was nevertheless viewed by Bannon and the Trump campaign as a source to consult for information about WikiLeaks.

1. Trying to make it look like he knew way later than he did, and that his knowledge was

limited to the Podesta emails.

The stolen DNC docs started coming out late June/Early July IIRC, both at Wikileaks and DCLeaks (run by Guccifer 2.0) ... and are far more 'politically' incriminating in nature in terms of Stone's knowledge. Way easier to justify not reporting some 'person' being hacked (even if a high-ranking Dem) than the DNC itself.

But I promise you, he know all about the DNC hack, AND was involved in the release of those as well, far earlier than October.

BTW, WHY exactly did Wikileaks decide to release 'some every week'? Obviously they would've gotten them all at the same time, so ... why a cache every week leading up to the election?

That REEKS of coordination with the Trump campaign, vis-a-vis Roger Stone.

2. They are leaking this themselves

IMHO, they are leaking this damaging info themselves because they know Manafort is now singing, so they are trying to get out in front of it. Then they'll say this is "old news" when Mueller reports it.
