Randy Credico couldn’t stop fidgeting once he reached the witness stand Friday. He muttered under his breath. He kept taking off his glasses. He leaned back and tugged on his hair. He scratched his ears.
While Stone seems to have been the dominant figure in the relationship between the odd pair, Buschel contended that Credico’s repeated suggestions he had close ties to Assange and his inner circle actually backed up Stone's case. Back in 2011, Stone blasted out on social media that Credico had died of a drug overdose, a practical joke that Credico said alarmed his friends and family. Things kept going south in the wake of the 2016 campaign as Stone started implying that his way into the world around Assange was through someone he eventually identified as Credico.
Stone looked on impassively during Credico’s tumultuous testimony, leaning in to look at exhibits being displayed on a TV monitor at the defense table and occasionally using a Sharpie to jot notes on pink index cards and pass them to his lawyers. The indictment against Stone treats an email he sent Credico in April 2018 as a serious threat. In the message, Stone calls him “a rat” and “a stoolie” and vows to “take that dog away from you.”
Prosecutors alleged that Stone’s effort to pressure Credico included threatening to reveal the role of one of Credico’s longtime friends in their discussions about WikiLeaks. The friend, Margaret Kunstler, was one of many lawyers working with Assange. Stone, meantime, kept bringing up Kunstler’s name throughout 2018. In one text message from May, Stone wrote to Credico: “You are so full of shit. You got nothing. Keep running your mouth and I’ll file a bar complaint against your friend Margaret.”
Government prosecutors have released emails and elicited testimony that showed Stone used other tactics to try to keep Credico quiet, including an April exchange where Stone wrote, “I’m going to take that dog away from you. Not a fucking thing you can do about it either because you are a weak piece of shit.”
whyfund Is it a friendship if you threaten to kill their dog?
That's what nightmares are made from, this perfect match.
