'Prepare to die' Trump adviser Stone texted witness, trial jury hears
Sarah N. Lynch
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Prosecutors on Thursday unveiled threatening text messages by U.S. President Donald Trumps adviser Roger Stone to radio host Randy Credico in which Stone urged Credico not to testify about their communications over Stones efforts in 2016 to learn when WikiLeaks might release more damaging emails about Trumps rival Hillary Clinton.
Prepare to die ... Stone wrote in one profanity-laced text to Credico. You are a rat.

But when the committee and Special Counsel Robert Mueller later sought to corroborate Stones claim by asking Credico to testify, Credico realized Stone had lied about him being a back channel and fudged the timeline to make it sound like Credico had provided information in July, when in fact Credico did not actually interview Assange until a month later.
I dont know why you had to lie and say you had a backchannel, Credico later told Stone in texts sent in early December 2017. You could have just told them the truth ... You want me to cover you for perjury now.
I guarantee you, you are the one who gets indicted for perjury if you are stupid enough to testify, Stone replied.
