Probing What Stone Knew

News  |  Aug 14, 2018

Kirstin Davis, a Roger Stone ally also known as the Manhattan Madam, answered questions before Special Counsel Robert Mueller's grand jury Friday and is sharing her impression of the experience. 

CNN:

"I think there's the general concern for some things that [Stone] seemed to predict," Davis said on CNN's "Cuomo Prime Time" Monday night. 

Davis pointed to "the Podesta tweet" in particular -- an apparent reference to a tweet Stone sent in the heat of the 2016 campaign, where he said, "It will soon the Podesta's time in the barrel." That tweet in August came weeks ahead of WikiLeaks' publication of Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's emails, which were hacked by Russia, according to the US intelligence community.

previous CNN review showed that outside of that tweet, Stone repeatedly claimed he knew about future WikiLeaks dumps.

Stone has denied any wrongdoing, and in an appearance on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" earlier Monday evening, he said he was communicating with Davis through their attorneys to avoid "any inference" that he had tampered with witnesses.

Davis told CNN that she spent "about an hour" before the grand jury and that the investigators showed concern "about whether or not any collusion happened with Russia." 

"I think they're concerned with all of the people in the 2016 campaign, all of the high profile names that we've seen come across and all of the people that have worked for Roger," Davis said.

Asked if she got the sense that investigators were coming for Stone, Davis said, "I did."

On Tuesday, Stone posted and then deleted a photo of himself with six other Trump allies dressed in space suits featuring swastikas. The image also has a large swastika in the top right corner.

“I love this – proud to be in this crew,” Stone said in a caption. “But the only lies being told are by liberal scumbags #maga #republican #infowars.”  

The bottom of the picture read: “Space Force. In space, no one can hear you lie….” Stone later deleted the photo Tuesday. 

When Stone removed the image, he claimed he hadn't seen the Nazi symbol. 

Stone later offered an apology Tuesday afternoon while taking a swipe at critics, claiming he posted the image after it "was sent to me by a hater."

"I did not notice the image had a swastika in the corner," Stone wrote in the caption of a picture that said "SORRY" in bold white letters on a black background. "When It was brought to my attention I deleted it - so u libtards who are frothing at the mouth can stop sending insulting comments will only get u blocked #maga."

Stone has continued to support the president as Mueller’s probe continues to close in on those around him, telling CNN’s Anderson Cooper last week under "no circumstances"  would he testify against the president.
