Stone’s attorneys conceded that a raft of emails, texts and other extensive documentation showed him claiming inside information on WikiLeaks’ releases and wanting to get even more that could be relayed to the Trump campaign.
So in essence very similar to hiring (or re-hiring) foreign 3rd parties to then use other foreign 3rd parties to do "oppo" research on the other candidate . . . then passing off that foreign sourced "oppo research" to political entities in seats of power in the United States who are not particularly big fans of the opposition. (keeping in mind that the primary author-a foreigner in a court of law that he may have in fact been mis-lead by his foreign sources, bu that he was pretty sure that he wasn't . . . he thinks).
Or are you still playing the Julian A was a Russian agent routine . . . which if so, that leaves about, oh, 7 people in this world that LibBots don't believe are Russian Agents.
The WikiLeaks founder received in-person deliveries, potentially containing hacked materials from Russian operatives during sometimes hour-long meetings at the embassy.
The hundreds of pages of surveillance reports and visitor logs were compiled by UC Global, a private Spanish security firm hired by the Ecuadorian government.
The information supports the suggestion raised by special counsel Robert Mueller in his report that WikiLeaks helped the Russians undermine the U.S. election.
The reports indicate that Assange met with Russians and “world-class hackers” before critical leaks.
He also got his hands on computer and network hardware updates to help with the transfer of massive encrypted files from Russian operatives, according to the documents.
The security logs said that Assange personally managed some of the document releases “directly from the embassy.”
After the election, the security company assessed Assange’s allegiance and found that there was “no doubt that there is evidence” that the Australia native has ties to Russian intelligence agencies.
Anyone that interacts with practically anyone from the Russian political apparatus has ties with Russian intelligence.
It’s called “Wikileaks” for a reason.
LibBot Nation (back before they started loving war and demanding war) didn’t have any problem when Wikileaks was releasing things that made the Bush administration look bad.
It’s not the least bit surprising that LibBot Nation has zero problem with a document of a highly dubious nature (putting it mildly) compiled by a former foreign intelligence agent supposedly using sources from inside Russia (Those were the Russian intelligence people LibBot Nation can trust??). Being circulated at the highest levels of the US government and used as highly flimsy “evidence” to spy on a presidential campaign.
But you’re melting down about an entity called WikiLEAKS releasing documents that kind of hurt the Dem nominee.
LOL
