Credico to Stone: give me a “little bit of time,” b/c Assange might appear on his radio show the next day. Hours later Credico wrote to Stone: “That batch probably coming out in the next drop…I can’t ask them favors every other day." EVERY OTHER DAY.

NEW: Trump told an ally this week that he wanted “to brand” the FBI informant as a “spy,” believing the more nefarious term would resonate more in the media & with the public. He went on to debut the term “Spygate” on Wednesday.

Thoughts about The Letter:
1) Since when did anyone ever call Kim Jong Un "His Excellency"?
2) totally / tremendous / massive /powerful = Trump dictated this
3) "wonderful dialogue was building" = maybe these two actually spoke on the phone?
4) call me, maybe?

Trump has secret debts propping up businesses he uses as conduits for bribes.

He apparently trades policy spoils for money and foreign help in the election.

The country is divided because he and the right want it so.
