How did Roger Stone know it was Al Franken's 'time in the barrel' before the news broke?
Stone appeared to know Franken allegation was coming.
Former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone appeared to know there were sexual misconduct allegations involving Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) hours before they became public.
Stone has been banned from Twitter, but at 1 a.m. on Thursday morning an account connected to him tweeted a quote from the Republican political operative.
"Roger Stone says it's Al Franken's 'time in the barrel'.
Franken next in long list of Democrats to be accused of 'grabby' behavior," read the tweet from Enter the Stone Zone.
Enter the Stone Zone is an account that claims to share "political commentary" from Stone.
Hours later, Leeann Tweeden, a KABC-AM news anchor, accused Franken of kissing and groping her without her consent in 2006.
Tweeden said the incidents occurred during a USO tour to entertain troops abroad.
She also tweeted a photograph of Franken as evidence.
