Stone, on day he sent Assange dinner email, also said 'devastating' WikiLeaks were forthcoming
Source: CNN
Roger Stone appeared on the InfoWars radio show the same day he sent an email claiming he dined with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange -- and he predicted "devastating" upcoming disclosures about the Clinton Foundation.
Stone's comments in his August 4, 2016, appearance are the earliest known time he claimed to know of forthcoming WikiLeaks documents. A CNN KFile timeline shows that on August 10, 2016, Stone claimed to have "actually communicated with Julian Assange."
The comments also raise more questions about what Stone knew about WikiLeaks and about the veracity of his claims to have been in contact with Assange, which he now denies.
On the August 4, 2016, InfoWars show, Stone described the soon-to-appear WikiLeaks disclosures. He also mentioned that he spoke with then-Republican nominee Donald Trump on August 3 -- the day before the interview. InfoWars is a fringe media outlet run by Alex Jones, who is known for spreading conspiracy theories.

Stone further discussed the dinner with Nunberg over the phone, this source said. In that conversation, Stone told Nunberg that forthcoming leaks would be about the Clinton Foundation.

(32,645 posts)Stone was probably planning to write fake emails that would supposedly incriminate the Clinton Foundation. All they needed was to give the "appearance" of corruption, and let it circulate among the deplorables. They could always disavow it later if it ever came out that it was totally fake. Maybe their lawyers told them to stay out of it, or maybe the RNC didn't want to be mixed up in it.
