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.
Is Flynn under a gag order as well?
This could end up being the wisest thing. Stone might want to drama-queen (king?) about the absurd situation he was put into, but if he can quietly win the case in court, the judge might have done him a favor. THEN he can rant as much as he chooses about what a kangaroo situation he (and the judge) had been put into. But there is a time for everything.
Only if you take the stand.
Eleutheria5 I 100% agree with your post
For my fellow Freepers, here a couple of quotes President Trump (I love saying that) has made about Stone cold crazy;
“Roger is a stone-cold loser,” Trump said in a 2008 profile in The New Yorker that detailed their disagreements. “He always tries taking credit for things he never did.”
In 2012, “I appreciate all of the nice things he’s been saying, but he does not represent me,” Trump retorted. “And he is not an adviser to my potential campaign.”
In 2015 after Trump fired Stone after only 3 months on the job, “I terminated Roger Stone last night because he no longer serves a useful function for my campaign,” he said. “I really don’t want publicity seekers who want to be on magazines or who are out for themselves.”
I wonder if a deal was made that Trump had to hire him in order to get a favor or something like that in return. That’s politics, baby.
Obviously the President knew he was an idiot since at least 2005. Maybe he saw him as an useful idiot.
WE should not want anything to do with this guy anymore. He seems sleazy, is poisonous, and our President seems to think so too. That is called Integrity, Washington DC!
I could see him lying against Trump in order to stay in the limelight.
