Roger Stone ratfucking a prominent Democrat over claims of sexual impropriety? You don't say!
https://www.thewrap.com/roger-stone-steve-bannon-savage-stunt-juanita-broderick-hillary-clinton/
Just before the Oct. 9 presidential debate with Hillary Clinton in St. Louis, where Trump’s “grab ‘em by the p—y” comments were sure to be the focus, Trump hosted a news conference with several women who had accused President Clinton of sexual misconduct. The plan was to rattle Hillary Clinton and shift scrutiny to her husband.
Trump advisors like the idea so much that they’re still arguing over who thought of it. Roger Stone, a master of political dirty tricks dating back to the Nixon administration, says it was actually his idea — and that emails obtained by TheWrap prove it.

The emails surfaced this week after conservative activist David Bossie appeared on Fox News and credited Bannon with the idea for bringing President Clinton’s accusers to the debate.
In one email, dated Aug. 19, 2016, Stone wrote to Bannon about several of President Clinton’s accusers: “Broaddrick, Willey, Jones, Shelton others ON BOARD. Once they get in the news cycle it would allow Trump to raise the issue without being the originator.”
(BTW, Juanita Broaddrick is scum and a right wing partisan hack not to be believed. Don't believe me? Check out her Twitter feed for yourself: https://twitter.com/atensnut )
