Roger Stone and Randy Credico talked about WikiLeaks plans, their leaked texts show

jeudi 15 novembre 2018, 00:59 , par BoingBoing
'Big news Wednesday... Hillary's campaign will die this week,' Randy Credico texted Trump ally Roger Stone, just 6 days before the WikiLeaks email dump.
These text messages obtained by NBC News show that Donald Trump's longtime political “dirty trickster” consigliere Roger Stone was boasting of dirt to come from Wikileaks. Stone has previously denied any foreknowledge of the late-2016 Wikileaks dumps, as he attempts to squirm away from the Special Counsel investigation led by Robert Mueller. This latest news won't help him accomplish that.

Six days before WikiLeaks began releasing those emails from Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, Roger Stone was texting his pal Randy Credico about WikiLeaks, according to copies of phone records provided to NBC News.
“Big news Wednesday,” Stone's friend, radio host Randy Credico, wrote on Oct. 1, 2016, according to the text messages provided by Stone. “Now pretend u don’t know me.”
“U died 5 years ago,” Stone replies.
“Great,” Credico writes back. “Hillary’s campaign will die this week.”
From NBC:

Credico turned out to be wrong on one count — nothing incriminating about Clinton came out that Wednesday. But two days later, on Oct. 7, WikiLeaks released its first dump of emails stolen from Podesta, altering the trajectory of the 2016 presidential election.
Stone, a confidante of then-candidate Donald Trump and notorious political trickster, has denied any collusion with WikiLeaks.
But the text messages provided by Stone to NBC News show that Credico appeared to be providing regular updates to Stone on WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s plans in the days before the hacked emails were released. In the texts, Credico told Stone he had insights into Assange's plans through a longtime friend, who was also Assange’s lawyer, according to the text messages.
