Great piece Allegra, but he cleared this up. He forgot. 
Because he got caught in his lie?
Why Is Roger Stone Only Now Coming Clean About May 2016 Russia Contact?
Good question, Ms. Kirkland.
In my opinion it should have been addressed in the first article on the subject.
a Russian intermediary named Harry Greenberg offered GOP dirty trickster Roger Stone $2 million in exchange for this damaging information.
I think this is backwards - the Russians presumably were offering the info in exchange for the money, right?
Stone replied that Trump “doesn’t pay for anything…"
Well at least he’s got that part right.
“I don’t think a failure of memory constitutes a perjury.”
You know, I’m perfectly willing to let a jury decide that.
Actually, perjury is a tough charge to make stick, especially when you’re dealing with slow-witted pathological liars. Demonstrating intent becomes quite a hurdle.
But remember everybody, “No collusion”.
“Caputo and Stone failed to disclose the encounter for almost two years, and falsely testified before Congress that they had no meetings with Russian nationals during the election.”
Enjoy your indictments, gentlemen.
Let me spitball on this one. Because a pardon will follow?
The GOP acceptance of the collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russian operatives is no different than if a gangster told Paul Ryan that a bank was about to be robbed but if Ryan remained quiet, he’ll get part of the loot.
He’s not “coming clean”. He’ll do that in the next few weeks to a month. Right now he’s just letting on to what he can no longer deny. Nothing more. Unless someone can make him believe they know more he’ll reveal no more. I think Mueller knows everything about Stone right down to how many slid marks he has in his shorts. But I don’t think Stone’s capable of seeing he’s been outdone. So expect the truth to come out of the creep as it becomes obvious without him.
11 Trump associates or campaign officials have now admitted to interacting with a Russian during the campaign or presidential transition.
No…no collusion. More like a nonhostile takeover. Should have just changed the name to the Trumpyetsky campaign.
just saw this a few minutes ago:
They claimed no meetings but now say it was such an insignificant one they forgot. In that insignificant conversation a sum of 2 million bucks was discussed. You don’t forget anything when you’re on the seat in Congress. You prep the shit out of yourself and memorize spin and dodges. You lie only if you are rock solid sure you can get away with it. Stone’s no master. He’s a low life and way out of his game.
I believe the answer to the question posed in the headline is in the post:
The episode actually came to light after special counsel Robert Mueller’s team grilled Caputo about it during a May 2, 2018 interview.
The heat is on…
Why Is Roger Stone Only Now Coming Clean…
Don’t think that one is possible really.
Nothing like facing 80 years in prison to clear the mind.
Or at least to get your story together.
