1. There is a jaw-dropping line in Stone indictment folks are missing. It implicates entire conservative media bubble - including Hannity, Tucker, Breitbart, and rest of @FoxNews - as participants/dupes in a fraud directed by people in Stone-Individual 1-Wikileaks conspiracy..

@FoxNews 2...allegations. This, however, comes directly from an email, so I think it can be deemed fact. One of the most bizarre things in the entire election was the relentless build-up on Fox and other organizations about Hillary being infirm and sick. This started long BEFORE she....

@FoxNews 3...came down with pneumonia. She was accused - on basis of nothing - of being infirm, weak, old, with Parkinsons, with epilepsy, etc etc. It always struck me as the ultimate proof that the conservative media bubble conspires in agreed-upon frauds, since her medical records...

@FoxNews 4...were public, and showed nothing. Hannity actually found some hack doctor to come on the air and diagnose Hillary with epilepsy on the basis that she had a goofy head movement once that was obviously her being humorous. Real neurologists - I know a lot of them - were....

@FoxNews 5...flabbergasted that someone claiming to be a doctor would say these things that were demonstrably false. But Hannity and all the rest of the conservative liars went with it. It was soon after it expanded to Parkinson's and later Multiple Sclerosis. Again all on the basis...

@FoxNews 6...of nothing. When she had her issue with Pneumonia, and had a doctors record release to prove it, Tucker said on the air, "Well, I don't believe it. I think it's something else." This was reckless but it always amazed me that they were all on message, all together, no limits..

@FoxNews 7...to how insane they would get in trying to proclaim Hillary on death's door.

Until today. Now I get it. It was part of the Stone/Wikileaks conspiracy described in the indictment. Watch your emails, Hannity and Tucker. You might want to see if you are implicated....

@FoxNews 8...here is the relevant info. Stone was publicly claiming to be in contact with Assange by early August 2016. Lots of emails/text message were swapped around about this. (What idiots these guys are.) A guy deemed Person 1 was a political commentator with an online publication...

@FoxNews 9...Person 1 was in contact with Stone regarding Wikileaks releases. Stone sent an email to Person 1 asking him to get someone to Assange in Ecuadorian Embassy in London to pick up emails. Person 1 then sent that message to a Trump supporter from London. (While I am not saying...

@FoxNews 10..I know anything as to who it is, I only know of two prominent Trump supporters in London who would be in contact with online political commentator in US - and both of them are jaw dropping if they are involved.) After that, Person 1 reports that Assange is going to do....

@FoxNews 11..two more document dumps. In that same email, Person 1 says what the hackers are planning, and then adds the key phrase "Would not hurt to start suggesting HRC old, memory bad, has stroke – neither he nor she well. I expect that much of next dump focus..."

@FoxNews 12...almost IMMEDIATELY after that email, Hannity jumps into the water, proclaiming that Hillary is not well. Then the pile on begins quickly. Tucker, Breitbart etc all join on quickly.

Maybe it's time for @foxnews to fess up: Are your commentators witnesses to this crime? Is...

@FoxNews 13...THAT why you engage in irrational, vast-conspiracy attacks? Is THAT why you were working with Cohen until he flipped? You have a LOT to answer for.

As for the rest of the media. For GOD'S sake, see the links. Assange to Individual 1 to Stone to Conservative media. The...

@FoxNews 14...goddamn RUSSIANS were driving one of the most insane storylines coming out of conservative media, and TONS of you ran with "raising questions" stories. ALL of you were suckered into this. And it wasn't hard to see what was going on. I was pointing out how insane it all...

@FoxNews 15...was as it happen. The media has a lot of responsibility here. And @FoxNews, Hannity, Tucker, Breitbart and all the rest have to answer NOW - why were you parroting a line of argument pitched by cons conspirators in Russian disinformation campaign? #ItIsTreason
