One day in late May 2016, Roger Stone — the political dark sorcerer and longtime confidant of Donald Trump — slipped into his Jaguar and headed out to meet a man with a Make America Great Again hat and a viscous Russian accent.
The man, who called himself Henry Greenberg, offered damaging information about Hillary Clinton, Trump’s presumptive Democratic opponent in the upcoming presidential election, according to Stone who spoke about the previously unreported incident in interviews with The Washington Post. Greenberg, who did not reveal the information he claimed to possess, wanted Trump to pay $2 million for the political dirt, Stone said.
“You don’t understand Donald Trump,” Stone recalled saying before rejecting the offer at a restaurant in the Russian-expat magnet of Sunny Isles, Fla. “He doesn’t pay for anything.”
Later, Stone got a text message from Michael Caputo, a Trump campaign communications official who’d arranged the meeting after Greenberg had approached Caputo’s Russian-immigrant business partner.
“How crazy is the Russian?” Caputo wrote according to a text message reviewed by The Post. Noting that Greenberg wanted “big” money, Stone replied: “waste of time.”

Did he promise to be more “flexible”? Or have a re-set button? Would that have been okay?
Yes, I agree that Sessions is a coward.
Our big chance to clean up garbage in DC and Sessions is not only hiding...by not resigning he’s obstructing the chance to get things done.
So the real Wash Compost title should read:
FBI Failed to Entrap Candidate Trump by Employing Russian Con man- Vostretsov in 2016.
DJT was introduced to Stone by the somewhat famous attorney Roy Cohn when Stone was working for the 1980 Reagan campaign.
DJT did favors for and supported Stone and the NY Reagan campaign.
The article exonerates the Trump campaign.
Wikileaks just tweeted out this helpful reminder, while the Deep State was trying to frame Trump by charging him $2M, they were trying also to frame Assange by offering to pay him $1M:

K Tovarishche Stone: Ya bud’yet provide “durrrt” on Hillary Cleentun for $1 million per gigabyte, with 5 gig minimum. Mebbe all eez the open source, but proves conclusive she vorst tsarina in history — like Stalin with smaller mustache. For extra million, I supply super secret Kremlin GIF of HRC collapsing on face after 9-11 Memorial and affect Badanov accent. Your confidential informant, Fyodor Borisovich Ilyanov.
He was working for FBI trying to set up Stone.
Trump never hired Roger Stone to run his campaign. They certainly talked a lot, but he did not employ stone.
From the article:
“Stone said Greenberg was alone at the meeting. But Greenberg said he was accompanied by a Ukrainian friend he identified only as Alexei, who he said had been fired from a job with the Clinton Foundation, a global charitable organization founded by Hillary Clinton’s husband, former president Bill Clinton. Greenberg provided no evidence the man had worked for the Clinton Foundation, and a foundation spokesman said the group has never employed a man with the first name of Alexei.
“He was very upset, and he wants to tell his story,” Greenberg said in a text. “He told Mr. Stone what he knew and what he want.”
Greenberg denied that he asked for money, saying that it was his friend who spoke with Stone....
In a separate interview, Stone said: “I didn’t realize it was an FBI sting operation at the time, but it sure looks like one now.”
“...the political dark sorcerer and longtime confidant of Donald Trump”
Oooooh, scary. Does he turn into a bat?
“Moose and Squirrel are in for it now, Boris.” “Set meeting up like Fearless Leader wants, Natasha.”
Bias much Washington Compost?
