Here’s some color : Credico texts Stone "You want me to cover you for perjury now." He points out to Stone, via text, that he wasn't a backchannel, but Stone had told the House committee he had a backchannel.
Stone responds: "What the fuck is your problem.
Neither of us has done anything wrong or illegal."
Credico then writes, "You open yourself up to the six counts of perjury."
Stone: "I'm getting you the best press of your life."
Stone: "You speak to me, you speak to Assange."
Stone told Credico that because of Trump, he could "never get away with asserting my Fifth Amendment rights," but Credico could when he was set to testify. Again, Stone brings up Frank Pentageli.

Read this part of Bill Taylor’s testimony. WOW! “I sensed something odd...”
More from the testimony: “there was an irregular, informal channel of US policy making...”
“I told Ambassador Sondland that President Trump should have more respect for another head of state...I asked Sondland to pushback on President Trump’s demand.”

In testimony scheduled for Thursday, Mr. Sondland was expected to say that during a meeting in May, Mr. Trump gave him and two other officials the impression that they should coordinate on Ukraine issues with his personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani. nytimes.com/2019/10/16/us/…
By mid-July, Mr. Sondland was expected to testify, he had realized that Mr. Zelensky would be granted an Oval Office audience only if Ukraine publicly announced it would investigate Burisma...
And then this from The NY Times:

One person close to Mr. Sondland said he now feared that he would be blamed for the scandal, while more powerful players would be protected. He has expressed concern that he could end up, the person said, as “collateral damage.”

The Roger Stone trial is ready to get started in earnest.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson warns spectators to behave. "Attempts to contact or identify jurors are prohibited." Says that rule may already have been broken by someone in the courtroom yesterday
Apparently referring to this. "Fortunately," Judge Jackson said, the info circulating online was "riddled with inaccuracies." (And this potential juror was not picked in the end.)
Opening statement from prosecutor Aaron Zelinsky:

"In a critical investigation of national importance, the defendant, Roger Stone, repeatedly lied under oath to a congressional committee and lied under oath to cover up his tracks"

good morning, I'm in the press room of the DC federal courthouse where Roger Stone is on trial — Stone, a former Trump aide and longtime political dirty trickster — had plead not guilty. they've just appointed a jury in this trial, opening arguments should begin soon.
wrote "appointed a jury" — I should have written "impaneled a jury" — my bad, and thanks to my lawyer friends!!
ok, we've got a direct link in the press room now, where we'll be able to watch the trial as the opening statements get underway soon. Roger Stone is seated at the defense table — it sounds like they're putting the mics on the lawyers now.

Equador: Swedish national #OlaBini arrested for connections to #wikileaks.

Johannes Wahlström:

#JulianAssange's "human rights are violated on a daily basis"

"#JulianAssange is imprisoned for #journalism."

#MikePompeo on lying:

"When I was a cadet, what was the cadet motto at West Point? 'You will not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do'? I was the CIA Director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. It was like - we had entire training courses!"

Julian Assange is currently at a maximum risk of being delivered to assassination or capture by US - by Ecuador’s Pres Moreno (who is currently under investigation in Ecuador for corruption, due to a leak that did not come from Wikileaks or Assange).
nypost.com/2019/04/06/ass…
Wikileaks has a link to the leak (but it’s all in Spanish)
Moreno’s govt in Ecuador is using excuse of the leak about Moreno (reportedly showing evidence of corruption) - as an excuse to persecute Assange and Wikileaks, and turn Assange over to the US.

IMO the CIA runs the US & want to rule the world.
They hate Assange for exposing them

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"
