"Have Guccifer post them first."

Last month, he testified before th House Intelligence Committee about his communications with Guccifer 2.0 and WikiLeaks, saying that he never communicated directly with WikiLeaks mastermind Julian Assange but learned about the site's plans to publish emails damaging to Clinton from an intermediary. He described the intermediary as a journalist, but has refused to identify him on the grounds that their conversations were off the record. Committee leaders said this week they may subpoena Stone to require him to identify the intermediary. Stranahan said it's not him. "I don't know anything about that, he said.
