1. Are we sure Roger Stone didn't violate the federal court gag order yesterday? popular.info/p/many-crimes
2. Here is what Stone said: "Mr. Cohen's statement is untrue."

Here is the judge's gag order:

Key language is "You may add that you deny or are innocent of the charges, but that's the extent of it."

popular.info/p/many-crimes
3. Here, Stone isn't merely proclaiming his innocence. He's attacking Cohen and calling him a liar. Perhaps the judge will overlook this.

If I were Stone I wouldn't risk it. The judge made it very clear if he violated the gag order he was going to jail.

1. Wow.

This could be a coincidence but one of Trump's tweets this morning appears to contain a coded message of support to white nationalists.

In defense of Jeanine Pirro, who said wearing a hijab was "antithetical" to the Constitution, Trump tweeted "be strong & prosper"
2. The 1683 Battle of Vienna is extremely significant to white nationalists. It's revered as a victory of Christians over the Ottoman Empire, which is viewed as a prelude to their current battle against Islam.

The New Zealand shooter even wrote "Vienna" on one of his weapons
3. There was a contemporaneous account of the Battle of Vienna.

The first line ends: "Be strong and prosper in thy way on behalf of the Christian faith."

Tucker Carlson was caught defending and justifying child rape, debasing women, and making racist comments.

His response is not to acknowledge any of it.

Instead he just laying the victim and pretends its an issue of "free speech."
Tucker now complaining that Media Matters was critical of white nationalist Congressman Steve King
Tucker's first guest congratulates him for not apologizing for defending and justifying child rape.

Indictment against wealthy parents buying their kids into selective college is stunning. Some kids didn't know about their parents efforts. But Lori Loughlin's kids did. They pretended to row crew - even posed on ERG machines - to get into USC. They are both Instagram stars.
After receiving provisional admission based on pretended to row crew, Loughlin's daughter couldn't figure out how to fill out the actual application, so they had the fraudster fill one out for her.

The scope of laziness and entitlement here is something
Oh, Loughlin's daughter Olivia gave an interview after being admitted to USC: "I don’t know how much of school I’m gonna attend... But I do want the experience of like game days, partying…I don’t really care about school, as you guys all know." goo.gl/Tuenkz

Roger Stone is now seated at the defense table for a hearing on his Instagram post.
“Live tweeting a hearing on an Instagram post made by President Donald Trump’s associate” is not a sentence that would've make much sense in 2005. “Roger Stone could go to jail,” on the other hand...
U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson is at the bench. The Instagram post has been marked as Exhibit 1.

Judge Jackson said she’s considering a gag order in the Roger Stone case because it’s “a criminal proceeding, not a public relations campaign.”
We probably won’t know for at least a week, maybe more, whether a gag order will actually be imposed.
A gag order would apply to both sides, but Judge Jackson clearly directed her comments toward Roger Stone, who has been railing against the proescution in interviews

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"

The #Cohen ex parte application for a #gag order of #Avenatti - beyond being legally weak and conclusory - is in blatant violation of the court’s case law regarding such applications. It contains no reasoning why ex parte relief is required. See Local Rule 7-19. 1/2
See Mission Power Eng. Co. v. Continental Cas. Co. (C.D. Cal. 1995) (noting that such motions are used abusively and are “rarely justified.”) They require specific procedures (not followed by Cohen) & are for when the normal notice process would result in irreparable harm. 2/
Further, the moving party must show they aren’t at fault in creating the need for ex parte relief. Here, #Avenatti has been vocal for months. #Cohen and his goober lawyer fail to explain why they waited this long to file instead of bringing a noticed motion. 3/
