Roger Stone has arrived in DC federal court with his wife and legal team. He’s set to stand trial tomorrow for lying to Congress, witness tampering and obstruction of justice charges.

He’s wearing a black suit, black tie. @CourthouseNews
@CourthouseNews Today Stone's attorney and federal prosecutors will iron out the last of the logistics with the judge in pretrial. Tomorrow, jury selection.

He and Judge Berman Jackson clashed these past months over a gag order Stone failed more than once to comply with.

@CourthouseNews Question 29 of 56 on the Stone juror questionnaire just out gives a lay of the land for where this trial is headed.

Story on today's pretrial conference incoming.
@CourthouseNews Stone, a self-proclaimed “dirty trickster,” was pretty tame in court today. But with many high profile witnesses expected the trial is sure to have some shocking twists. I'll be tracking day by day as it unfolds over the next 2 weeks for @CourthouseNews.

Breaking: Roger Stone trial just recessed when a man, mid 40s screamed and fell into a seizure.
@CourthouseNews Roger Stone was not in the courtroom, having walked out sweating just minutes before accompanied by his wife.
To clarify, the man a member of the public was convulsing on the floor in the back row and his feet could be heard hitting the bench as the courtroom emptied.

He was standing in line for about an hour before the courtroom opened, wearing a trench court and brimmed hat.

The same prosecutor Trump & Giuliani pressured Zelensky to hire (Lutsenko) to go after Biden’s son engineered Konstin Klimnik’s escape to RU to avoid Mueller’s charges.

And Pompeo’s DOS knew all about it; did TeamTrump facilitate the escape?

A classified State Department assessment concluded in 2018 that Ukraine’s former Prosecutor General Yuri Lutsenko—who is at the center of the impeachment inquiry of President Trump—

I mean really 😂
Got a thread on it that ends here:

There are some additional nuances by state, but that should get him mostly up-to-speed

Basically, yes. It's not an affirmative defense but it will be an argument they make in their briefs, based on the evidence that comes out during discovery or affidavits that get filed

That language is more signaling than legal effect though

This was already addressed mid-thread. You do realize filing lawsuits costs money to the court, yes?

Not getting paid != going into the hole paying the court costs

The goat's still waiting...

There are a few options. Provide evidence he wasn't there or X wasn't there, or depose X and challenge X's credibility (history of lying, etc), or provide evidence X is lying (emails, texts, etc), or get on the stand to say "that's false" and pray

They're too dim to realize ppl find out about the GFMs *because* they were shared on Twitter

🤔Does anybody know if the 10 charges that Manafort was found “not guilty” - have anything to do w the Bank of Cyprus that US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross led⁉️The bank said they gave Mueller ‘everything’ they had🤔 Or is that info for his next trial? wsj.com/articles/in-pa…
💥Russians were moving money to Cyprus to avoid the economy’s collapse and Manafort’s money was caught in the crosshairs of investigators💥
Manafort found the money squeeze painful and sent an email to his tailor to explain why his payment was late🤣
