One of Donald tRump's senior advisers has admitted that he had contact with the figure claiming to be behind the hacking of Democratic emails during the US presidential election.
Roger Stone told The Washington Times that the private exchange with Guccifer 2.0 was "perfunctory, brief and banal".
The Republican Party strategist added that they had made contact after the hacking had taken place.
Their interaction followed an article on right wing news site Brietbart, which accused Guccifer 2.0 of being behind the intrusion and not the Russian state, he said.
US intelligence and homeland security officials said in January that they had "high confidence" Russian military intelligence used the Guccifer 2.0 persona to release the stolen information.
In a separate interview, Mr Stone told the New York Times the interaction was "innocuous" and involved nothing more than the exchange of a few direct messages.
He insisted he had not colluded with Russia or the hackers. - Independent UK
Sorry Mr. Stone, all the circumstantial evidence points to there being collusion on your behalf. You are a liar and a traitor!

Not sure that a "few direct messages" gets you off the hook, Mr. Stone. We are talking about a hacker here. "See if you can access John Podesta's emails." would be a "direct message." Maybe you ought to work a little more on "your story."

He has a large portrait of Nixon tattoed on his back
He and Trump both thought Roy Cohn ( McCarthy's #2 man in the 1950s) was a great role model.
cracked.com has a lengthy detailed description of him, and I highly recommend it, cause Stone is gonna be in the headlines as much as he can.
Take a look and see if you can understand why Trump thinks Stone is such a "good" guy.
