2016 ELECTION/ROBERT MUELLER/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP PEOPLE: “An associate of Roger Stone, a longtime ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, expects to be indicted by the U.S. special counsel probing Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, he said on Monday [11-12-18]. Jerome Corsi, a right-wing commentator, said in a livestream posted to YouTube he expected to be criminally charged after two months of cooperation with federal authorities…Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team of prosecutors is investigating whether Trump’s campaign team colluded with Moscow in its alleged efforts to interfere in the 2016 election. As part of that investigation, prosecutors questioned associates of Stone over his ties to WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange. The connection between Stone and Wikileaks came under scrutiny after WikiLeaks published emails hacked from the Democratic Party and the account of the campaign chairman of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton before the 2016 election.”
