NEW: 34 newly released ROGER STONE search warrants reveal new details — and mysteries— about his 2016 contacts. He spoke to Assange, sought dirt from Turkey, spoke to high-level Israelis and brokered meetings for Trump.
Prosecutors also acknowledged significant gaps in their Stone investigation because during crucial periods he would switch to encrypted apps like Signal and Wickr.https://t.co/oMQV7chJ50— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) April 29, 2020
Roger STONE frequently used *CraigsList* to communicate with contacts under an account he registered to the name "Swash Buckler."
I now know, for some reason, that on Oct. 10, 2016, Roger Stone spent $20 at a pizzeria in the Upper East Side. pic.twitter.com/4Da7b8dlhY— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) April 29, 2020
NEW: Newly posted search warrants show communications between STONE and ASSANGE in early 2017 in which Stone promises he'll "bring down the entire house of cards" if DOJ pursued Assange. Stone said he was working at "highest level of government" on this.
