They are now talking through this email chain. Important because prosecutors argue this is an example of Stone making a request to Assange — something Stone testified he never did: wsj.com/public/resourc…

Credico, however, testifies he never actually delivered Stone's message (a request for Hillary email dirt) to Assange.

Says he had an unrelated trip to London and dropped off a letter at Ecuadorian embassy to Assange. But the letter was just asking Assange to do a radio show.

We are fully into the farce stage. Credico describing, at length, how Roger Stone pranked him around 2011, by publicly announcing that “Randy Credico died of an overdose, may he rest in peace.”

This is to explain why Stone texted him, "U died 5 years ago"

Credico says all his messages to Stone predicting WikiLeaks had something big happening were based on "Either instinct or I was bluffing." Never had any actual inside info.

Well, now Judge Jackson has reached her limit. "We know you're a comedian, but this is serious business," she tells Credico.

Credico's done for the day. Will return tomorrow. We're only up to early 2017, there's still the whole alleged witness tampering stuff to get into.

And then of course, the cross-examination from Stone's team, which should be interesting

Credico's testimony clashes a bit with prosecutors' narrative. They described him as an "intermediary" to Assange in the opening, one of two they said Stone had. And said Stone passed on Credico's info to top of Trump campaign

But Credico testifies he actually had no inside info

This is of course not a surprise to prosecutors, they knew what they were getting with him, and want to focus on the witness tampering and that the original intermediary was Corsi

Still, there's a bit of an incongruity here
