Dan Rather: On Roger Stone & Assange–This Increases The Fear In Donald Trump
How damaging is news that Roger Stone may have actually dined with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange? Dan joined Chris Hayes Wednesday night on MSNBC to discuss this. Here is some of Dan’s assessment.

I think it’s a reasonable theory based on the evidence.”
