Stone accepted credit for WikiLeaks' October dump. justice.gov/file/1124706/d… 
Stone has been pretty careful with his words, working to keep his claims consistent, but this just seems dumb.
Randy Credico (@Credico2016) has said since late 2017 that Stone made him a "fall guy" by claiming Credico was his back channel to WikiLeaks. Stone's indictment today supports Credico, saying Stone falsely claimed Credico filled a role that was actually Corsi's.
Stone for months touted text messages he released that he claimed validated his story of his interactions with Credico. Amazingly, he did that despite having told House Intelligence under oath that he never exchanged text messages with Credico.
Here's our story from May reporting that Stone in an email told Credico: "Prepare to die." That is among missives quoted in the indictment to argue Stone engaged in witness tampering. motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
In August, we reported that Mueller was investigating whether Stone broke the law in his emails to Credico. motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Stone's last Instagram post, sent around 2am this morning, a few hours before he was arrested.
Worth emphasizing: Stone in Nov released months of texts with Randy Credico, proclaiming they supported his version of events. nbcnews.com/politics/justi… Stone did that even though, we just learned, he had testified to HPSCI that he never texted with Credico. motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
