<snip>
It has been previously reported that the FBI was scrutinizing conservative websites, including Breitbart News and InfoWars, to determine whether they may have assisted Russias cyber influence operation during the 2016 campaign.
More recently, in November 2018, the Washington Post reported that special counsel Robert Muellers team had interviewed Bannon about Stone specifically, whether Stone had privately admitted to knowing in advance about WikiLeaks plans to release hacked emails during the 2016 presidential campaign.

In addition to communicating generally about future WikiLeaks releases, the emails released by The Times show an apparent effort to coordinate messaging, as well as a discussion about a targeted campaign that Stone said he raised money for using a political organization structured to keep its donors secret.
In the final email sent from Stone on Oct. 4, 2016, he told Bannon to direct Trump campaign surrogates to spread his conspiracy theory alleging, without evidence, that Bill Clinton had a love child named Danney Williams. At the time, websites including InfoWars and Russian propaganda outlet RT were pushing the conspiracy theory referenced by Stone.
Stone also directed Bannon to tell Rebecca [Mercer] to send us some $$$, mentioning that he had developed a targeted black digital campaign.

While Fridays indictment doesnt allege any wrongdoing on the part of Bannon, Breitbart, or Boyle, it does show that Mueller is aware that they were apparently involved in efforts to obtain information about WikiLeaks plans to release hacked Clinton campaign emails and potentially to coordinate the Trump campaigns messaging so it would align with the document dumps.
The involvement of a Breitbart editor also calls into question whether the media outlet coordinated with the Trump campaign to unofficially push out campaign messages.
Such coordination is among the issues that the FBI is reportedly investigating in its probe of whether right-wing outlets in America and/or Russian propaganda outlets were involved in Russias campaign to influence the election by strategically pushing disinformation aimed at hurting Hillary Clinton.- ShareBlue
Right-wing media outlets coordinating propaganda with Russian propaganda outlets. That's all I need to hear.
TRAITORS!

(11,885 posts)Expose trump more , and himself if he lies and denies orders came from trump, or what trump knew , and when he knew it. Bannon may have already been taking to Mueller allowing them to know a lot more than they think about both Stone , and trump's involvement. I think they know they're screwed , especially Roger Stone. The lies will only show their intent , and knew exactly what they were doing was illegal.
