Roger Stone is at the defense table again this morning as we await judge & jury for jury instructions in what could be the final day of his trial in DC federal court. Here's our look at Stone's strategy w/@dsamuelsohn politi.co/378oSgH
@dsamuelsohn We're underway with a brief discussion of adverbs in the 'Godfather II' transcript that judge plans to excise before jury sees it. They'll get some stage directions but not phrases like 'confidently,' the judge says. Defense notes objection for possible appeal.
@dsamuelsohn Jurors just got a specific instruction on Steve Bannon's testimony that it may have differed from his grand jury testimony and how jury should handle that. Earlier: politi.co/2rCojLR
Judge just helpfully tells jurors that House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence is often referred to as HPSCI, pronounced "HIP-see"
Judge has retired to deliberate after about 35 minutes of instructions from the judge. We're using one of the two women who was an alternate. A regular juror got ill. Remaining alternate sent home on standby.
