"SNIP....

“Roger Stone pushed back against Michael Cohen’s claims that Stone told Trump in July 2016 that he had spoken to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange about an email dump that would hurt Hillary Clinton’s campaign, saying in a text message to BuzzFeed News: ‘Mr. Cohen’s statement is not true.'”

“Stone’s text, which he made clear was a ‘statement,’ was just the one sentence, and he did not explain what exactly about Cohen’s testimony he maintained was false. Stone, who is facing criminal charges for lying to Congress, is under a gag order not to publicly comment on his case, special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, or any ‘participants’ in his case or the investigation.”

1. The judge on his case should drag him back to court to explain this.

4. WTF???

I thought Roger wasn't supposed to be talking about his case except to say he was innocent and to ask for money!

I do not think that includes calling other witnesses liars.

5. Uh oh...

He was told not to talk about his case in any fashion. His statement claiming Cohen lied when he said he (Stone) talked to Assange about the email dump sure sounds like he was talking about his case. He can't weasel out by claiming it was just a "statement."

I expect the prosecutors will see it and take appropriate action.

6. Empowerer says Roger Stone's going to jail

7. If I were Roger stone, I would wear a ball gag in my mouth and handcuff my hands.....

Seems to me that if he doesn't - he will end up in jail....

Isn't this a violation of his gag order?

8. So long, Zippy. Time to go to jail.
