“_**On or about October 7, 2016, [WikiLeaks] released the first set of emails stolen from the Clinton Campaign chairman. Shortly after [WikiLeaks’] release, an associate of the high-ranking Trump Campaign official sent a text to STONE that read 'well done.'**_” Reporters are tentatively identifying the “high ranking” campaign official as Steve Bannon ---

Just so the timing is clear, on October 7th, 2016 the Access Hollywood tape comes out. A few hours later, Wikileak dumps stolen email. Shortly after that, the Trump campaign texts “good job” to Roger Stone. ---

Well, technically he is “on the hook” for any crimes which he may have committed. But for right now, he is unindicted. ---

When I glanced at MSNBC a bit ago the bottom of the screen read “NOTHING TO DO WITH TRUMP” and “NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WHITE HOUSE”. Gave me the impression that the response was cocked and ready to release at a moment’s notice. ---

Those were quotes from Sarah Sanders this morning. And it’s their answer to everything, so it doesn’t necessarily indicate much foresight. ---

Well, “nothing to do with WH” is more than a slight shift from “nothing to do with the campaign”. ---

Sarah isn’t looking that good this morning. I think things are getting a bit stressed in the bunker. Sooner or later that “Nothing to do with T\*\*\*p” line is going to look really silly when it’s Kushner or Don Jr. getting indicted. ---
