@dfriedman33 According to a top US official, all three – Rudy Giuliani, Joe diGenova, and Victoria Toensing [whose son Brady now works for Barr at DOJ] – were working “off the books” for Trump “to get oppo research on Biden” in Ukraine.

THREAD: Just a quick observation on recent Mueller indictment. In March 2017, I was sitting beside Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy, cruising Twitter, when up popped the following tweet from Roger Stone to @RVAwonk #backchannel 1/4
Assange said, "I think I know what Stone is talking about--I'm pretty sure--he says--there's some guy at WBAI. I did an interview with him. He said he knows Stone. He says he wanted to come to London to meet, but I didn't have time. You might want to talk to that guy." 2/4
Think about it. Assange was encouraging me--directing me--to talk to Stone's friend @Credico2016 ("Person 2"). This seemed immediately like a diversion. But I did reach out to Credico in good faith. I came away convinced he had no contact with Assange before Aug 25, 2016. 3/4
