    I mean yeah, if you want, we can talk about how Wikileaks worked with Trump and Russia:

    I don’t know what that has to do with Roger Stone. Saying “a source that provides no evidence” sounds like a poor attempt at discrediting it.

      I am not doubting that Wikileaks or Julian specifically contacted Trump Jr. Doesn’t make him pro-Trump, or pro-Russia, just anti-Clinton. Julian has not been kind to the Russian government to the best of my knowledge.

      The whole Guccifer 2.0 thing is hard for non-intelligence individuals to follow because there are no proper sources or evidence that one can readily find. I was around at the time, and was quite active on social media, and nothing made sense back then, and it continues to make no sense after years of investigations and articles written about it. Roger Stone seemed to be pivotal in legitimizing the role of Guccifer 2.0 in the Wikileaks releases, from my understanding.

      Maybe I just suck at reading these articles. I am willing to accept that and I will be looking into this further when I am not sick. Regardless, thanks for engaging - my perspective will likely evolve with your help and direction. I am interested in the truth and I don’t want to take anyone or anything at face-value.
