Roger Stone Associate Randy Credico Claims Stone Threatened Him and His Dog

Randy Credico, a former radio host and associate of Roger Stone‘s, has become one of the more interesting peripheral players in the ongoing scrutiny into Stone’s connections to Wikileaks and Julian Assange.

Credico told MSNBC’s Ari Melber he spoke to Congressman Adam Schiff‘s staff about his role in Stone’s connection to Assange, saying it was an “informal off-the-record discussion.”

And he said he told them, “You’re wasting your time chasing rainbows on Roger Stone. Stop giving him so much attention, he thrives on this.”

A new report yesterday revealed Stone used Credico to ask Assange about Hillary Clinton‘s emails.

Credico offered more context to his communications before Melber read something that Miss Gulch Stone allegedly wrote him:

“I’m going to take that dog away from you. Not a fucking thing you can do about it… I will prove to the world you’re a liar.”

Credico said Stone’s “afraid I’m gonna unload on him.”

As far as the threat against his dog goes, Credico said, “He’s a sick man. He is delusional.”

Credico shared the email last month and when Yahoo News’ Michael Isikoff had asked for comment, Stone responded, “Go f*** yourself FBI Schill [sic].”
