Stone ‘guilty of politics’

Self-described political dirty trickster Roger Stone denies that he was a conduit between Donald Trump’s campaign and WikiLeaks, the shadowy group that published Democrats’ hacked e-mails during the 2016 presidential race.

Stone said he got a “solid tip” from comedian Randy Credico, a witness in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, that whatever WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange revealed in two media interviews during the summer of 2016 would come out in October and would be “devastating to [Hillary] Clinton.”

“What I’m guilty of is politics,” he told “Morano in the Morning” Sunday on AM 970 The Answer. “I took that information and I puffed it, I hyped it, I bluffed, I postured because I was trying to draw as much attention to what was going to be released as possible for votes — that’s called politics.”

Asked directly whether he acted as a link between WikiLeaks and the Trump campaign, Stone replied “absolutely, positively not.”

Stone, an informal Trump adviser, said he had “no advance notice of the content or the source of the WikiLeaks material.”

He said he turned over to the House Intelligence Committee any direct messages on Twitter that he sent to WikiLeaks.

During the interview, host Frank Morano — who was a producer of the 2017 documentary “Get Me Roger Stone” — said he reached out to Credico to see if he wanted to dispute Stone’s claims.

“Not a chance,” he said Credico told him.

Trump campaign officials have told Mueller that Stone created the impression he was an intermediary for WikiLeaks, which released e-mails Russian agents hacked from the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, The New York Times reported last week.
