Some amazing highlights in the court record:

Since all eyes are on Roger Stone (+Trump) tonight, let's take a stroll through all the OMG, WHAT JUST HAPPENED moments in this case. Thread:
That Stone was a target of the Mueller investigation and why became clear in 2018.

It's been a loooooooong 17 months since Paul Manafort was arrested. Let's walk through the highlights of this complicated case.
Manafort and Gates were arraigned on Oct. 30, 2017. Both put under house arrest, with $10M and $5M bail respectively cnn.com/2017/10/30/pol…

Special Counsel's office prosecutors dropped hints in an early court filing about trips Manafort took to foreign countries, including Spain and Ecuador, sometimes under a fake name. These trips came up later in news coverage about his work in 2016 and 2017

Manafort and Gates both had a months-long struggle to try to post their full bail amounts, get out from house arrest. Manafort never did.
