Roger Stone denies having had advance knowledge that Wikileaks would publish the DNC-emails.
On Twitter, Wikileaks has repeatedly said that he DID have advance knowledge and that there's nothing fishy about it, because Wikileaks announced the publication ahead of time. It was common knowledge among those who bother to read Wikileaks' news.
So... If there is a perfectly innocent and truthful explanation how Roger Stone knew ahead of time what Wikileaks would publish, why didn't he simply say that?
Why did Roger Stone incriminate himself with an unnecessary lie rather than simply telling the truth?
What if Roger Stone lied because he did not get the tip-off about Wikileaks' pending publication from a Wikileaks news-release?
What if he got the tip-off about the incoming publication EARLIER from the russian hacker Guccifer 2.0 himself, who gave these emails to Wikileaks and who knew that Wikileaks would publish them just in time to harm HRC?
