This is actually exonerating given what WaPo reported. If Stone was still seeking to meet Assange in June and July, he hadn't met Assange in spring.https://twitter.com/TheBeatWithAri/status/973693221250437120 …

It's possible WaPo's anon source means that Stone learned of the emails before Assange announced them and WaPo reported on them in June (the currently public story). That's possible! Indeed, it may be that Papadopoulos had been told the anon release would be WL.

I'm sure it's all a coincidence that Assange's first mention of new Clinton material was days after the June 9 Trump Tower meeting.

I'm not saying it's a coincidence at all. I just think reporters are muddling the June timeline, which often happens.
