![Comey Senate Judiciary Committee Questions from Senator Franken (2nd Round) Q. [Question about..] Roger Stone and his relationship with Guccifer 2.0 an online persona used by Russian military intelligence to leak documents stolen from the DNC to Wikileaks. The US IC, including the FBI, concluded that Russian intelligence directed the breach and that Russian military intelligence used Guccifer 2.0 to ensure that the documents obtained were publicly released. While Guccifer has insisted that he or she is not Russian, the Intelligence Community has concluded that the actor has strong ties to Moscow and was used by Russian military intelligence to leak information... Is that a fair characterization? Comey: Yes, our, the IC's judgment was that Guccifer 2.0 was an instrument of the Russian intelligence Q. In August of last year, Roger Stone exchanged a number of messages with Guccifer 2.0 via twitter... [included a number of bizarre pleasantries] In one message Guccifer writes to Mr. Stone, "Please tell me if I can help you any how. It would be a great pleasure to me." .. This sounds like a clear offer from a Russian intelligence officer to collaborate with a senior official on the Trump campaign... Do we know did any further communication between Stone and Guccifer 2.0 took place? And if you can't say here but you could say in a classified environment can you make that distinction? Comey: I definitely cannot say here,-I don't think I would say in a classified environment - because it calls for questions about what we're looking at and how. But I definitely can't say here."](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/250/630/041.jpg "Comey confirms Guccifer 2.0 is Russian operative")
