NEW: Here is the previously sealed motion that Roger Stone's lawyers filed Friday — they're asking the judge for clarification that a book by Stone that's being re-released doesn't violate her gag order assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5758… 
The judge has ordered Stone's lawyers to file something today explaining why they didn't tell her about the book sooner — that's not in yet
Interestingly, Stone's motion redacts what exactly in the book is at issue, but given the context, it's almost certainly the introduction — in a Feb. 18 Instagram post, Stone put a photo of the cover, which says it has an "explosive new introduction"
Stone's lawyers are arguing that the book doesn't violate the gag order because the part at issue was written and submitted in mid-January — long before the Feb. 21 order was signed by the judge
The govt has filed a notice confirming that it's the introduction of Roger Stone's book that's at issue, and noting that it's available online already. They ALSO have formally alerted the judge about Stone's now-deleted Instagram post, see: cnbc.com/2019/03/03/rog…
Story coming shortly, but in the meantime, here's Stone's lawyers about why they didn't tell the judge about Stone's book sooner — they say that because the book was already written, it wasn't responsive to the "forward-looking" gag order issue assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5758…
Roger Stone is in trouble with his judge again — this time for only recently alerting her to a newly-released book he wrote in which he calls Robert Mueller "crooked." His lawyers argue it's okay because he wrote it before the Feb. 21 gag order took effect buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
