I remember saying, Roger, I thought you had a back channel, Credico said. He said something to the effect of, Yes, but I cant use him all the time. Credico relayed that account to the grand jury last month, according to a person familiar with his testimony.
Stone at first denied Credicos claim that he suggested having a conduit to reach WikiLeaks, calling his old friend a perjurer and saying hed relish the opportunity to confront Credico in court.
Later, Stone acknowledged to The Post that he obliquely told Credico in an email that he had a second source of WikiLeaks information besides the New York comedian.
He told The Post that person was not a direct conduit to WikiLeaks. He said he was referring to information another associate passed to him from a journalist who wrote in a July 2016 email that he had heard WikiLeaks would be releasing information related to the Clinton Foundation.

Asking because there is some very good info that tells how involved Stone was.

This story is fascinating. The associations of those such as Peter Smith & others puts Roger Stone in the middle of it.
