He's the defendant in the case. He should be able to say whatever he wants to say about his own case.

I'd like to see Stone defy this gag order, get sanctioned by the Court, and appeal it all the way up to the Supreme Court if necessary, to get a ruling that a gag order on a defendant is unconstitutional, unless it is in regards to National Security classified information.

It really isn’t a good idea if you’re a defendant to go making multiple public statements. At trial, it can be used against you in cross-examination.

I agree he should defy this order, it a violation of his rights and freedom. Fight it in public and to a higher court.

They’ll slap him in solitary confinement, like they did manafort. They don’t have to follow the constitution -— they’re leftists.

If Stone defies this court order he is going to jail and likely will end up in solitary confinement like Manafort. He could appeal all the way to the SCOTUS, but he will be in a small cell for 23 hours a day for the next couple years until the appeal is heard — assuming the SCOTUS even takes up his appeal. His best course of action is to keep quiet until the trial and let Hannity, Ingrahm, etc. talk about the bias of this judge. It is unfair that Stone is not allowed to speak, but this judge will lock him up for life. A defendant like Manafort would normally be out on bond until sentenancing and then sent to some white collar prison. Instead, she sent locked him up in solitary which is actually cruel and unusual punishment for his crimes.
