JUSTICE SERVED!
Text Shows What Really Happened At Trump's 'Treasonous' Russia Meeting – Dems In
Trouble!
Special counsel Robert Mueller is now in the process of examining a previously undisclosed
meeting between a longtime Donald Trump confidant, Roger Stone and an undisclosed Russian figure
who allegedly tried to sell him dirt on Hillary Clinton.
The Washington Post reported that a meeting between Stone and a man who identified himself
as Henry Greenberg was described in a pair of letters sent Friday to the House Intelligence
Committee.
Stone and Michael Caputo, a Trump campaign aide who arranged the 2016 meeting, did not
disclose the contact in their initial interviews with the committee.
But they now believe the man was an FBI informant trying to set them up in a bid to undermine
Trump's campaign.
Obviously, Greenberg could not immediately be reached for comment, but in a text to the
Washington Post, he denied he was working for the FBI when he met with Stone.
In a text?
Democrats were hoping this last-minute meeting between Stone and this Russian would be the
straw that broke the camel's back, but Stone's text was crystal clear when it confirmed it
was a "waste of time."
They're totally ignoring the facts that he met with them but gave them NOTHING and
"the Russian was also an FBI informant, so it looks like another frame-up just like
with what happened with Carter," Mike Dice said in the comments on his post.
This is one more go at trying to overthrow President Trump.
And since they have nothing it's obvious they are now grasping at straws.
It's time we as taxpayers start demanding this corrupt Mueller investigation stops once
and for all.
They have wasted enough money on this witch hunt and time it ends once and for all.
The only collusion here is when Hillary Clinton sold our uranium to the Kremlin for donations
to the Clinton Foundation!
ABC News reported:
"Roger Stone says he is not concerned that he neglected to tell to congressional investigators
about a meeting he held with a Russian national offering dirt on Hillary Clinton, despite
being asked about foreign contacts, the longtime friend of President Donald Trump told ABC
News.
Interested in Russia Investigation?
Stone said Sunday he forgot, and his lawyer has since sent a letter to amend his testimony.
"I just didn't remember.
2016 was a pretty busy year," Stone said.
"I don't think a failure of memory constitutes a perjury."
Stone served as an adviser to Trump's presidential campaign but left amid controversy in 2015.
The contact in May 2016 was between Stone —- a self-described political "dirty trickster"
— Michael Caputo, another former Trump campaign aide, and Henry Greenberg, reportedly a Russian
citizen who claimed to have damaging material on Hillary Clinton, as first reported by The
Washington Post on Sunday.
The new disclosure brought immediate concerns from Democrats overseeing congressional investigations
into allegations of Russian collusion in the 2016 presidential campaign.
"In multiple respects now, the testimony of Roger Stone appears inaccurate or deliberately
misleading," Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence
Committee, said Sunday.
"The truthfulness of many of our witnesses has been difficult to ascertain, which is
why I have urged the committee to make the transcripts available to Special Counsel [Robert]
Mueller for a determination whether any witnesses committed perjury before our committee,"
Schiff added.
"The Majority's unwillingness to do so demonstrates that protecting the President
remains its paramount objective, even when it means shielding witnesses who may have
testified before us untruthfully."
Schiff said he had similar concerns about Caputo's testimony, which he said also omitted
mention of this interaction with a Russian national offering dirt on Clinton, something
Schiff said could not plausibly have escaped his recollection.
Attorneys for both men sent letters dated June 15 to House Intelligence Committee Chairman
Devin Nunes, R-Calif., seeking to revise their prior testimony to the committee to include
reference to the interactions with Greenberg.
Both letters say the men forgot about the interactions, but have since had their memories
refreshed.
Caputo served on the Trump campaign from November 2015 until June 2016 working out of Trump
headquarters in New York.
Greenberg purportedly reached out about setting up a meeting, which Caputo subsequently arranged.
Meeting in Sunny Isle, Florida, for lunch in May 2016, Greenberg reportedly offered
Stone damaging material on Clinton for $2 million — a deal Stone and Caputo say they
declined.
Roger Stone, a longtime political adviser and friend to President Donald Trump, speaks
during a visit to the Women's Republican Club of Miami, May 22, 2017, in Coral Gables,
Florida.more + Speaking shortly after his testimony in May,
Caputo told ABC News there was no collusion between Russians and the Trump campaign.
"In fact, there's nobody in Trump Tower at that time who has closer connections to
Moscow to the Kremlin than me.
… Nobody ever asked me about Russia.
Nobody ever spoke to me about what you know how Russia might help," Caputo said.
Reached on Sunday, Caputo confirmed investigators asked him about a text message exchange with
Stone about the meeting, the content of which was reported by The Washington Post.
"How crazy is the Russian?"
Caputo wrote, according to the Washington Post.
Stone noted that Greenberg had asked for "big money," and told Caputo the meeting was
a "waste of time," according to The Post.
Caputo and Stone now allege they were set up by the FBI because they said a private
investigation funded by Caputo's legal defense fund identified Greenberg is an FBI informant.
There is no outside evidence to support the claim that Greenberg was working as an FBI
informant when he approached Caputo and Stone.
Calls by ABC News to phone numbers associated with Greenberg were not immediately answered.
Stone says he never told Donald Trump during the campaign about the newly revealed contact
with the Russian national who claimed to have damaging material on Clinton.
"I never discussed the matter with Donald Trump or anyone in his campaign," Stone
told ABC News on Sunday.
"I flatly rejected this proposal as ludicrous and frankly forgot about it."
