FBI has records of Trump trickster Roger Stone communicating with Russians behind DNC hacks: report

Roger Stone, a Donald Trump confidante and longtime Republican dirty trickster, communicated privately with a Russian hacking group identified by U.S. intelligence officials as the culprit in the theft of emails related to the Democratic presidential campaign.

Stone, who is under FBI investigation for his alleged ties to Russia, communicated through private Twitter messages with the “hacktivist” known as Guccifer 2.0 during the presidential campaign, reported The Smoking Gun.

Guccifer 2.0 claimed to be a lone activist committed to “fight all those illuminati,” and Stone promoted those claims, but U.S. intelligence officials believe with “high confidence” that Russia’s intelligence service, GRU, operated the hacker’s Twitter, WordPress and “burner” emails used to communicate with the media — including The Smoking Gun — and other individuals.

A source told the website that Stone, who admitted over the weekend to back-channel communications with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, exchanged private direct messages with Guccifer 2.0, in addition to exchanges on their public Twitter accounts.

country first.

Now someone like Ryan would see this as a chance for him to advance his agenda of killing us by taking away everything we have paid for our entire lives.

He has Pence do the dirty work. Could be good for him.

But has to be a patriot in GOP willing to prosecute.

in what warped universe does he think all that blood on his hands is going to translate into ballots at the ballot box?

Think Nixon-Ford-Carter-Reagan.

This all depends on Ryan not being or becoming legally ensnared in the Russian Scandal or its coverup.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Stone was involved in the hacking. I don't think he's smart enough to have created the master plan, but that he was more likely a useful idiot to those whose bottom line was helping Russia.

I think if put under oath by a Congressional committee, he'd sell everyone out to save himself.
