In written answers to special counsel Robert Mueller, Trump stated, I do not recall discussing WikiLeaks with [Stone], nor do I recall being aware of Mr. Stone having discussed WikiLeaks with individuals associated with my campaign.
Steve Bannon says the Trump team saw Roger Stone as an "access point" to Assange. They thought they were colluding.
Important point: The Trump campaign didn't just think Stone was giving them information on Assange's plans. They also thought that Stone was helping to orchestrate the release of the stolen emails.

Shouldn't that be "Trump's lawyers stated..." No way they let Trump write answers.

... the "I don't recall defense" is a pretty safe response since it's almost impossible to prove otherwise.

Presidents always pretend they don't remember in order to avoid jail time.
And our very weak justice system allows it.

So, the question becomes, is Kavanaugh and Company going to let King Donald the 1st. sail off into the sunset, or by any kind of luck, will his sorry ass end up in jail? Highly doubtful. Is the long term Republican plan of stacking the courts finally going to bear fruit? More than likely.

Come on. We all know Trump didn't write any answers to those questions. His lawyers answered the questions for him and he signed it.
