Trump ally Roger Stone insists no evidence of Russia collusion
CBS ^

Posted on 09/26/2017 7:23:49 AM PDT by bryan999

Longtime Donald Trump associate Roger Stone says there is "not one shred of evidence" that he was involved with Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Stone is defending himself in a lengthy statement released ahead of a closed-door appearance before the House intelligence committee Tuesday. He has also released a series of supporting documents, including direct messages he exchanged with Guccifer 2.0, the unnamed hacker who has taken credit for breaking into Democratic National Committee email servers.

"While some may label me a dirty trickster, the members of this committee could not point to any tactic that is outside the accepted norms of what political strategists and consultants do today. I do not engage in any illegal activities on behalf of my clients or the causes in which I support," Stone said in the prepared statement. "There is one 'trick' that is not in my bag and that is treason."

Stone, a Republican strategist who has known Mr. Trump for many years and informally advised him during the 2016 campaign, also denies he had advance knowledge of the leak of former Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's emails and says he never colluded with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. He has long denied that he worked with Russian officials to influence the presidential election.

Lots of evidence of Cankles’ Russia collusion, though.

President Trump is asleep! Disband the Special Counsel Mueller and be done with it. If he lets it continue he will be hurting many of his Administration when Mueller destroys them. Is he letting some of his troops down? You be the judge.

Roger Stone is the standard WRT honesty.

The man has always been severly blunt in his delivery of the facts. He has never left anyone guessing after he speaks, much like his friend Alex Jones.

We need more people like them delivering the news.

Oh, come on. There's PLENTY of evidence of Russia collusion. How else can you explain allowing that Russian lawyer-ette to remain in the country after her visa expired. How else can you explain that fake dossier on Trump that John McCain got suckered into distributing.

I'm sure if Hitlery Abedin didnt' wipe her email server with Bleachbit, there would be much, much more evidence of Russia collusion.

I don’t think Trump will leave out to dry anyone ala Bush II.

Guccifer 2.0 IS the DNC. So they tried to bait him?

I recently read Stone’s book on who killed Kennedy and the case against LBJ.

It was excellent and well documented.

Obama is the only President we’ve ever had who’s been more pure evil than LBJ.
