(Natural News) Like everyone else who has ever been associated with Donald Trump before he became president, the past couple of years have not been easy for POTUS confidant and GOP operative Roger Stone.

He, as well as others within the president's pre-White House orbit, have been targeted by various elements of the Deep State in an effort to not only disenfranchise them from POTUS but also punish them for Trump's 'mortal sin' of beating Hillary Clinton, despite the fact that she was obviously the most corrupt nominee in modern history.

In particular, Stone has been targeted by special counsel Robert Mueller as part of his "Russia" investigation. "Prosecutors have questioned numerous Stone associates to find out how the longtime political operative appeared to have advance knowledge that WikiLeaks would release information damaging to the Clinton campaign," The Daily Caller notes.

Stone, 66, told the House Intelligence Committee, albeit reluctantly, in October 2017 that his backchannel to the Wikileaks release of emails that put the Clinton campaign in a bad light was Randy Credico, a New York talk radio host — though Credico has publicly denied being the source.

In addition, The DC reported, Credico told CNN that his own testimony to Mueller's grand jury in September 2017 matched his public denials that he was Stone's source.

Now, however, after looking for months, Stone has finally uncovered evidence in the form of text messages that appear to support his claims while refuting those of Credico.

"Julian Assange has kryptonite on Hillary," Randy Credico texted to Stone on Aug. 27, 2016, according to messages that Stone provided to The Daily Caller, where he is a men's fashion contributor.

"You are not going to drag my name into this are you," Credico wrote on Sept. 29, 2016, in what appeared to indicate he was concerned that Stone might eventually identify him as his source for claims he was making publicly regarding Assange's and Wikileaks' plans.

"[B]ig news Wednesday," Credico texted on Oct. 1, 2016, just a few days before WikiLeaks began releasing emails that were stolen from the account of John Podesta, Hillary's campaign manager. "Now pretend u don't know me."
