In a filing today, Roger J. Stone, Jr. says the Special Counsel got his middle name wrong. It’s Joseph, not Jason, the filing says. I asked if this was an error in the indictment, and the Special Counsel’s spokesman... declined to comment. documentcloud.org/documents/5732…
A 1986 Washington Post article sheds some light on the middle name confusion. washingtonpost.com/archive/lifest…
You can find public records where Stone uses both versions of his name.

I’m glad NYT took up the implications of the transcript of Manafort’s closed hearing, which clearly shows the SCO is still focused on Manafort and Kilimnik as a bridge across the Atlantic Ocean. nytimes.com/2019/02/10/us/…
At the same time I’m confused that the discussion of the private polling shared with Kilimnik is so brief and garbled, relative to the details in the transcript, and why they don’t deal with the apparent contradiction between the transcript and their source from a few weeks ago.
In an earlier story, a NYT source said the polling data was shared in *spring* 2016 and directed to two Ukrainian oligarchs w quite long surnames. The transcript says it was shared on August 2 2016 and directed to someone with a 9 character surname. See: emptywheel.net/2019/02/09/pau…

There is a bit of retconning of the Kavanaugh nomination controversy going on in your big media podcasts this morning.
Contrary to what you’ll hear, Ds mainly asked to call Deborah Ramirez, Mark Judge and other potentially corroborating witnesses to testify or to have FBI do a thorough investigation, which Grassley resisted. ‘Zero tolerance’ really was not the way they handled it, pace NYT/CNN.
One way you know Democrats in the minority weren’t running around demanding “zero tolerance” in September 2018 is the Trump administration had just finished making that term thoroughly toxic by connecting it with its family separation policy at the border.

2-"WASHINGTON — For the past several months, journalists, legal experts and close followers of the special counsel’s investigation have been trying to uncover one particular secret about the inquiry: Is the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, in a closed-door legal battle?

Sen. Durbin:”Between 2001 and 2003, Republican Senate staffers hacked into and stole 4,670 files on controversial Bush judicial nominees from 6 Democrats, including me.

This scandal amounted to a digital Watergate, not unlike Russia’s hacking of the DNC.”

NEW: Jerome Corsi, a conspiracy theorist and political commentator with connections to the former Trump adviser Roger J. Stone Jr., has been subpoenaed to testify on Friday before the grand jury in the special counsel investigation 1) nytimes.com/2018/09/05/us/…
His lawyer said that he anticipates that investigators for the special counsel plan to ask Mr. Corsi about his discussions with Mr. Stone, who appeared to publicly predict in 2016 that WikiLeaks planned to publish material damaging to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. 2)
”He fully intends to comply with the subpoena,” Mr. Gray said, adding that the subpoena was not specific about the topic but that he and his client anticipated “it has to do with his communications with Roger Stone.” 3)
