Prosecutors: "In other words, the criminal conduct alleged in Netyksho was a central focus of the congressional investigation that [Stone] is alleged to have obstructed..."
UPDATE: Judge Amy Berman Jackson is going to hold onto Roger Stone's case. In response to Stone's challenge to the govt's decision to designate his case as related to the DNC hacking prosecution, Jackson ruled that she "will take no action with respect to the current assignment"
Jackson wrote that the assignment of Stone's case to her is "consistent" with the local criminal rules re: related cases. See: dcd.uscourts.gov/sites/dcd/file…
MORE: Jackson gave the govt until Feb. 22 to respond to Stone's claim that Mueller's office improperly gave Stone's indictment to reporters before the docket was public (Stone suggested that was how CNN knew to be at his house, but that timeline didn't line up in his papers)
