The Smoking Gun is reporting (and picked up by RawStory) that Trump ally Roger Stone communicated with the hacking group behind the theft of email from Clinton campaign officials.
In the months before Election Day, a longtime confidante and political consultant for Donald Trump was in contact with the Russian hacking group that U.S. intelligence officials have accused of illegally breaching the Democratic National Committee’s computer system and the e-mail accounts of Hillary Clinton campaign officials in a bid to aid Trump, The Smoking Gun has learned.
Roger Stone is the same person who foreshadowed the release of Hillary’s emails on twitter. According to the article, the FBI is looking into communications between Trump loyalists and the hacking group.
Responding to media reports about the counterintelligence probe, Stone recently told the pro-Kremlin RT network that he had read that a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court had approved the wiretapping of his phone calls and the monitoring of his e-mail accounts. “I don’t know if that’s true. I’m told that there’s a grand jury convened,” said Stone, who did not specify where he had learned about the supposed interception of his communications.
Gotta run off to work — but this is definitely worth a read!
