Judge told Roger Stone that any inconsistencies he has had when speaking publicly could be introduced as evidence at his trial. Prosecutors said a possible October trial date. Judge thinks the case could go to trial in July or August.

1. "Inconsistencies?" Really?

I guess an officer of the court can't call them lies until he is convicted, but it's getting really annoying that the good guys have to follow the rules all the time.

6. They good guys have to follow the rules

if not, then they stop being the good guys...breaking the rules is for the bad guys.

15. I know that...

but sometimes you have to fantasize about going rogue, ya know?

2. Upon hearing this, Stone's lawyers immediately jumped their client and taped his mouth shut

Donald Trump then materialized in the courtroom to boast that his fever dreams of women with their mouths taped shut were now true.

7. Yes I heard that they duct taped his mouth and shoved him in the trunk.

Wise judge

4. Do they know if this will be his judge when it goes to trial?

The first judge that Manafort got was a showboat and an ass.

5. No way to know for sure - judges get rotated

Found this tweet on Shimon Prokupecz' twitter feed that gives more info:

Michael Marando from the DC US Attorneys' office will file a list of names of witnesses under seal with the court after judge warned Stone not to contact any witnesses in the case. Remember, the same judge sent Manafort to jail after he attempted to contact witnesses. @kpolantz

(Same judge that handled Manafort's witness tampering charges.)

Another inflated ego... needle.

10. Republicans are not accustomed to being held accountable.

They are trained to spin, throw shade and project everything as if global politics is just a reality show. Most don't perform well when forced outside their bubble.

Earth to Republicans: Welcome to the real world that regular Americans deal with every day....

11. Best case scenario he keeps his mouth shut, but

August is many, many months away. He's gonna trip all over himself. He can't help it.
