Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team on Friday denied allegations from former Trump adviser Roger Stone that his indictment was leaked to CNN before it was unsealed last month.
“The Special Counsel’s Office is aware of no information indicating that reporters were given any advance knowledge of a possible indictment from the Special Counsel’s office,” the filing states.
Stone’s legal team had filed a motion in federal court claiming his indictment had been leaked after CNN was the only network to stake out Stone's Fort Lauderdale home when he was arrested before dawn last month. CNN later aired video of the arrest that showed a team of FBI agents with guns banging on Stone’s door and demanding that he come outside.

And Jussie Smellit is innocent also.
” What was leaked to the press was Stone’s impending arrest. Note the language. “
VERY good point!
Note also that the Special Council Office only denied ‘knowledge’ of leaking, not that it didn’t happen.
BS. When I was a kid, a good family friend was an FBI agent. used to think they were awesome, and better than most. I now consider them as garbage, a bunch of KGB wannabe’s.
Semantics.
The Mueller 'team' didn't leak to CNN. One individual did.
Who cares about leaking the indictment.
Who leaked the date & time of the raid ?
Weasel words. From a weasel.
Remember, it’s not official until they deny it. So they officially did leak it.
Mueller’s investigation has been corrupt from the beginning. It will be corrupt to the end. This is just more of the corruption.
Willl James Comey, John Brennan and James Clapper testify to this? Oh, I forgot they all lied to during their testimony before Congress. FBI spokesthing Jussie Smollett announced the CNN crew was actually on their way to Subway to get a tuna fish sandwich when the noticed a commotion.
who has national security clearance?
Frankly, I’m glad Commie Network News was there - to show what National Socialist German Workers Party storm troopers the Federal Investigative Bureau has become!
Of course not. They leaked it to a third party who contacted CNN. They've been using attorney cut-outs in this affair from the beginning.
Sorry Mueller
Pleading ignorance does not equal a denial
In other news, an IRS Investigator in San Francisco denies leaking Michael Cohens Tax Records.
They can deny it until they are blue in the face, but any thinking person knows different. That was a huge mistake on Mueller’s part!

““The Special Counsel’s Office is aware of no information indicating....”
Nor will the Special Counsels Office bother to look. It isn’t part of the Russia investigation.
Yes. Lawyers speak lawyer-speak.
This is what happens when leftist lawyers run DC.
There is not a real, decent cop among the top tier.
They are probably telling the truth - they didn’t leak it to CNN...they used a middleman to leak it to CNN....
