Caputo now “correcting testimony”
He’d set up the meeting… Michael R Caputo… bio reads like Paul Manafort

He knew there was Russian money inbound to the campaign but was smart enough to keep HIS hands clean. If Stone rejected the offer why would he not have proudly boasted about refusing unless of course he knew others were collecting the cash?

Yep. “The deal was struck” also explains why Kushner, et. al., were so desperately flailing to set up back channels to Putin during the transition.

Also Stone being “fired” by Trump during the campaign never smelled right. Either Stone or Trump (or both) wanted him officially decoupled from the campaign.

I’m not sure death will stop the slithering and creeping.

So did Caputo lie to the FBI as well as the committee? “Correcting” testimony doesn’t fly as well with them. (Nor should it fly with congress in cases like this, but IOKIYAR. If you’re not, or you’re a republican off the reservation, of course any inconsistency will result in a criminal referral.)

Sounds like conspiracy to me.
Seriously, I wish everyone here would stop using the word collusion. That’s Trump’s word. Every time we use it, we inadvertently reinforce his “No collusion” narrative. Calling it collusion gives them an out - to clam that collusion isn’t against the law.
Conspiracy, on the other hand, IS against the law.
They didn’t collude to manipulate, rig, and steal an election; they conspired to manipulate, rig, and steal an election.
Call it: conspiracy. Because that’s what it is.

That’s one of many, many things that even if looked at only in isolation there would be absolutely no plausibly innocent explanation for.

I am sure there are a few that didn’t realize what they were getting into. Likely in the mail room and that one guy that does the McDonald’s run.

Yep. They’ve been buddies ever since the 1970’s coke-sniffing, model banging, Roy Cohn orgy disco scene. Manafort was Stone’s business partner and continued to advise trump long after he was “fired from the campaign” too. The cabal was not altered one iota, regardless of formal titles.

It might fit, in that paying for dirt was Cohen’s job.

I always get my own coffee now, for fear of Russians trying to compromise me.
