This is a fantastic piece by @RogerSollenbergerRC on Roger Stone protege Mike Caputo. - 7/21/20 1/ salon.com/2020/07/21/why…
"At some point Caputo had befriended Donald Trump, and in 2014 he conceived a PR scheme to secure Trump's bid for the Buffalo Bills NFL team, creating a fake organization and hiring a fake founder — a double-amputee cancer survivor — to gin up sympathy." 2/
"Caputo used the organization to orchestrate a bare-knuckle smear campaign targeting Trump's chief competitor for the Buffalo team, Jon Bon Jovi, who later said he needed 'years of therapy' to get over it." 3/
"[W]hen Caputo was...with the Trump campaign, he and Roger Stone met with a Russian expatriate living in Florida named Henry Greenberg — his original name was Henry Oknyansky — who offered to sell them dirt on Hillary Clinton." 4/
"In 2018 the Washington Post acquired text messages between Caputo & Stone in which they called Greenberg 'the Russian.' In his earlier testimony to Congress, Caputo had claimed that he & Stone did not know Greenberg and/or Oknyansky was Russian." [WHY WASN'T THIS PROSECUTED?] 5/
