Roger Stone’s Instagram sure is weird.
In an Instagram video he posted today, longtime Trump consigliere Roger Stone said that a Ronan Farrow story soon to be published in The New Yorker reports that Stone explicitly told Donald Trump in October 2016 that WikiLeaks had obtained and was preparing to dump John Podesta’s emails.
Here’s Ronan’s response.
A quick reminder that I don’t comment on reporting I haven’t published, and if you’re reading about my work from secondary sources you’re often not getting the full or correct story—especially in cases where parties have an interest in downplaying or otherwise spinning.

Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) said on ‘All in With Chris Hayes’ tonight that he’d believe Roger Stone as far as he could throw him, which sounds sensible, and pointed out the wiggle words Nixon’s dark political prankster uses here to evade truth, and consequences.

So Roger Stone is Andy Rooney combined with Lloyd Kaufman right?
