Conservative author Jerome Corsi alerted longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone in early August 2016 that WikiLeaks planned to release material damaging to Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, including documents related to her campaign chairman John Podesta, according to a draft court filing.
Corsi emailed Stone about WikiLeaks’s plans nearly 10 weeks before the group published Podesta’s hacked emails in October, according to the document, which was prepared by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s team as part of plea negotiations with Corsi that have collapsed.
“Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I’m back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging,” Corsi wrote in the email quoted in the draft document, referring to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has been living in the Ecuadoran Embassy in London since 2012. The email was sent while Corsi was traveling with his wife in Italy.
The email continued: “Time to let more than [Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta] to be exposed as in bed w enemy if they are not ready to drop [Clinton]. That appears to be the game hackers are now about.”
The draft filing, first reported by NBC News and provided by Corsi to The Washington Post, provides a remarkable look at the case Mueller is building related to WikiLeaks and the most detailed allegations yet that a key associate in Trump’s orbit was provided advance knowledge of the group’s plans.
In July, Mueller indicted a dozen Russian military intelligence officers accused of conspiring to hack Democrats, including Podesta, and leaking their stolen emails to WikiLeaks.

Mueller appears to be accepting the Dem's view that Russia hacked both Podesta and the DNC server... and passed it on to Wikileaks. (POTUS' joke about Russia releasing Hildy's 30k emails implicated him in the scheme - says Mueller.)
The obvious defense is to ask Mueller to prove that Russia hacked those servers; an embarrassed Mueller would have to admit that he cannot prove that Russian involvement because the USGVT never examined the servers, never even asked for the servers. DOJ/FBI/SC took the Dem's word for that fact and the word of their contractor, Crowdstrike. Chain of custody of evidence = no evidence at all... Prove the DNC (and Podesta) did not hack their own servers.
There is one mind - one person - behind all this confusion and uproar, this criminality and treason: Hillarious Rodham Clinton. Why no one will say it is a mystery to me. Every path of every scheme leads directly back to her. AMAZING!
In the quoted email, Corsi talks about “another” 2 drops being planned. Assange had already announced there would be more to come. Corsi wasn’t prescient, but he was good at finding info.
