....yesterday, text messages between Roger Stone and Randy Credico were released showing that during the 2016 campaign, both Stone and Credico knew about Wikileaks dumps in advance of their release to the public.

I've seen Stone and several right wing publications spin this as to somehow "vindicating" Stone.
Here's my very basic question:
How?
How in God's good name does that in any way vindicate Roger Stone?

But I don't care what right wingers are saying. Mueller knows whats up.

So I don't think Mueller's gonna play that game.
