Roger Stone claims secret warrant led to discovery of his contact with hacker

[n2doc]

Longtime Donald Trump ally Roger Stone said his communications with an alleged Russian hacker may have been obtained through a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.

He said if that's the case, then the leak of that information to the website The Smoking Gun is a felony.

"If these were obtained through a FISA warrant, as I believe, and the information was leaked to the Smoking Gun, that would constitute a felony," Stone said.

In a statement to the AP, Stone said he has hired two attorneys to investigate whether he can prompt the government to "either charge me or admit they have no case whatsoever."

8. grand jury Target letters are not required to go out

Until the grand jury ends ... I think that someone within the trump aministration may have had a come-to-jesus talk with Roger Stone.

Nor is any law enforcement agency obligated to give him any information about subpoenas or warrants that they have issued.

I think mr. Stone may be reflecting on some of the shit that he said unguardedly.
