WASHINGTON — When the WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, appeared on a video link from Europe a month before the 2016 presidential election and vaguely promised to release a flood of purloined documents related to the race, the head of Donald J. Trump’s campaign, Stephen K. Bannon, was interested.
He emailed the political operative Roger J. Stone Jr., who had been trying to reach him for days about what Mr. Assange might have in store. “What was that this morning???” Mr. Bannon asked on Oct. 4.
“A load every week going forward,” Mr. Stone replied, echoing Mr. Assange’s public vow to publish documents on a weekly basis until the Nov. 8 election.
The email exchange, not previously reported, underscores how Mr. Stone presented himself to Trump campaign officials: as a conduit of inside information from WikiLeaks, Russia’s chosen repository for documents hacked from Democratic computers.
He acted as a middleman between russia and the trump campaign to release illegally obtained campaign emails to help trump swing 10,000 morons in Michigan.
While he didn’t pull a lever that said ”Make trump win” he knowingly aided the illegal collusion between trump and russia in a paper-thin election.

He acted as a middleman between russia and the trump campaign to release illegally obtained campaign emails to help trump swing 10,000 morons in Michigan.
While he didn’t pull a lever that said ”Make trump win” he knowingly aided the illegal collusion between trump and russia in a paper-thin election.
He’s not “innocent” in any ethical sense.
