Messages show Roger Stone attacking the man he says was his WikiLeaks backchannel

(CNN) Special counsel Robert Mueller has copies of vitriolic and sometimes threatening messages that Roger Stone directed at Randy Credico, a witness in the investigation, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

Investigators have been examining the text messages and emails and questioning witnesses about whether there was an attempt to harass or intimidate Credico, according to people familiar with the matter. Stone, a longtime political adviser to President Donald Trump, has claimed that Credico, a progressive New York political activist and radio host, served as his backchannel to WikiLeaks during the 2016 campaign. Credico has denied that he acted as an intermediary.

CNN has obtained copies of some of the messages. In one exchange, Stone responds to the news that Credico received a subpoena from Mueller.

"Waste of your time -- tell him to go f--- himself," Stone wrote.

"Who?" Credico asked.

"Mueller," Stone said.

almost as much as I want to see Trump in prison. Trump is number one. By far he's number one.

using against fellow Americans. Disgusting examples of human beings (both of them) and losers (both of them). It's time to take these two down, since Stone, if you read or watched anything about him, wouldn't hesitate to do anything illegal or dirty in getting rump elected (or at least helping rump do something illegal). These two define the very word of 'dirty politics'. Seriously.

In my mind, politics should be good and clean, such as that shown by Beto O'Rourke in TX against cruz. Issues should be dealt with on a professional, business like basis (Beto is, but cruz isn't).

What we have instead, is name calling and not dealing with issues on a straight forward basis. They (rump and cruz) avoid the issues and have polluted the waters of good, clean politics by lying on issues or personalities, by misspeaking on issues, by cheating, and weaseling their way into office, and generally, just being plain unpleasant people.

And he hasn't faced ANY consequences for it. He's gotten away with everything!

Until now, hopefully?

I certainly hope so. This bastard has had it coming for a LONG time.

LOCK HIM UP.
