Mueller’s Indictment of Roger Stone Is Another Suggestive But Incomplete Tease at a Collusion Case

Slate  

The central question of Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation is whether the Russian intelligence operation to steal and release Democratic Party emails in 2016 involved coordination with Donald Trump’s campaign and/or promises on the campaign’s behalf to promote Russia-friendly policies. Specifically, the indictment says that a Trump campaign official contacted Stone after WikiLeaks’ July 2016 release of documents stolen from the Democratic National Committee to find out if the organization had more dirt on Hillary Clinton. STONE answered that the head of Organization 1 had a “erious security concern” but that Organization 1 would release “a load every week going forward.” That’s a lot of back-and-forth between the Trump campaign and an organization that was being used as an arm of Russian intelligence. After the indictment notes that the Trump campaign official reached out to Stone in July 2016, it says that “STONE thereafter told the Trump Campaign about potential future releases of damaging material by Organization 1.” Later, it says that “on multiple occasions, STONE told senior Trump Campaign officials about materials possessed by Organization 1 and the timing of future releases.” But it only cites one specific instance of that happening, suggesting that there are others that haven’t yet been disclosed. The indictment, for its part, does note that “shortly after” WikiLeaks began dumping Podesta’s emails, an “associate of the high ranking Trump Campaign official sent a text message to STONE that read ‘well done.’ “ So … hmm?
