Stone is probably less of a scum bag than the types that aired Trump's access Hollywood hot mike tapes. Everyone on the left thought Trump was out as soon as he declared. But absolutely out when that tape aired. They thought he was a dead man walking at the debate after the release.
Had Hillary won the election, she would have cared less about the Wikileaks emails and would have likely had some sort of twisted satisfaction knowing everyone knew her utter contempt for the average Joe.
Stone wasn't the hacker nor the distributor of those Emails. At worst, just a guy who was getting a heads ups that something was coming.
Does anyone with half a brain or more actually think that "but for Roger Stone", the DNC and Podesta servers wouldn't have been hacked and the Emails wouldn't have been dumped?
Russia wasn't hoping so much as to have Trump in the Whitehouse but, rather, it was hoping that a large fraction of our electorate would resent the President elect. They thought Hillary would win but wanted her to be hated and hamstrung with strong GOP opposition.
But they got double their money's worth with Trump winning. Of course, Trump won because Hillary was/is unlikable, arrogant, boring, two-faced, corript, etc., etc and not because of Wikileaks.
But with the Blame Trump for Russia game put on by the Dems and the Media, it caused the gullible half of America to not only dislike the President, they were also questioning the legitimacy of the election.
And remember, if the RNC servers got hacked too, their info would have been published also, Roger Stone or not.
Braizille hates Stone because he is the scapegoat for her failure...nothing more.
Wow, if it hadn't been for the Acess Hollywood tape, 65% of the American pubic wouldn't hate the orange pile of $#!+. Geez, a higher percentage of New Yorkers hated the son of a bitch before that...and he wasn't even in politics then. That's be cause he was a shyster and a conman, and New Yorkers don't get fooled by that. Who does get fooled by that, however, is right wingers and evangelicals. Think Trump loses sleep at night over abortions??? Yea, only when he can't get the woman to agree.
