One day in late May 2016, Roger Stone — the political dark sorcerer and longtime confidant of Donald Trump — slipped into his Jaguar and headed out to meet a man with a Make America Great Again hat and a viscous Russian accent.
The man, who called himself Henry Greenberg, offered damaging information about Hillary Clinton, Trump’s presumptive Democratic opponent in the upcoming presidential election, according to Stone who spoke about the previously unreported incident in interviews with The Washington Post. Greenberg, who did not reveal the information he claimed to possess, wanted Trump to pay $2 million for the political dirt, Stone said.
“You don’t understand Donald Trump,” Stone recalled saying before rejecting the offer at a restaurant in the Russian-expat magnet of Sunny Isles, Fla. “He doesn’t pay for anything.”
Huh. Didn’t Mr Stone claim he had no contact with Russians? This seems like an awfully big thing to forget.
It seems Russians offering to make deals are incredibly forgettable. Almost as if they’re hiding something.
Bets on how closely this follows the Trump Jr Meeting Revelations?
I only Met Once and I didn’t Take It
I Met a Second Time and Told Them No
I met a second time and brought a Suitcase full of Money but still told them No
They took the money but never delivered the Goods but Trump didn’t Know
The suitcase was full of Trumps money but they never delivered the goods so technically it’s not collusion WITCH HUNT FAKE NEWS WHY ARE YOU SO FOCUSED ON THIS WHEN THE ECONOMY IS GOOD
If I had $5 for every time a Russian offered dirt on a political opponent for 2 million dollars, I could retire. I mean, it happens all the time. Right?
Did Stone claim he hadn’t talked to any Russians or Russian immigrants whatsoever, or did he claim that he never talked to any known Russian officials?
Why was someone with FBI ties trying to set up the campaign?
Stone did the right thing by telling this guy to pound sand.
