Roger Stone isn't holding back as he presses to delay his prison term set to start Tuesday. He says he's facing 'certain' death due to #COVID19. 'I'm fighting for my life,' Stone says. w/@kyledcheney

@kyledcheney Last week, Stone said in a web video that prosecutors were resisting his bid to delay his 40-month sentence. Now, they're not. A judge has asked the US attorney's office to explain its stance.
Stone also said his lawyers would be filing for a bond to allow him to remain free pending appeal, which they have yet to do with six days to his prison report date. Stone's also doing a little scene-setting for Zelinsky testimony today, calling it BS & warning: 'Dirty Cop Alert'

So, per his comments to CBS, looks like Barr's decision this week not to describe US law enforcement as tainted by 'systemic racism' was no accident politi.co/2BKLp8p politi.co/3h4oNji
Also struck by a few other things in @margbrennan intvu: Barr constantly slamming the media. About half dozen times. Seems to oppose any change to "immunity" for police, which may mean increasingly controversial 'qualified immunity' (see @Reuters series reut.rs/3h00Nxz )
And unless CBS edited it out, Barr was actually less apologetic about Lafayette Sq incident than he was three days ago, when he said it was unfortunate that so many protesters were on H street politi.co/2BKLp8p

If we're going this far down in the weeds on the Flynn filing, interesting that unnamed source would attribute cut-and-paste oversight to line prosecutor when metadata shows Shea's chief of staff creating the document. Also I'd like to see versions 1-3 cnn.it/2WlinUG
I mean if we're doing radical transparency, let's lean into it, people! Let it all hang out!

Also, as @kpolantz notes, Shea isn't even admitted to USDCDC bar. Looks like he could file without joining but he's supposed to submit various certifications before filing anything.
@kpolantz Anyway, @JusticeOIG report on all this will be rad when it comes out in December 2021

Quick update on staffing for Stone hearing. Cooney and Crabb are taking point but Marando, who withdrew but didnt quit, is also in gallery along w Gaston from Craig/McCabe
Also Max Mishkin from Ballard Spahr to argue for media for access to juror related hearing
So you've probably seen judge will do audio-only in closed courtroom for juror hearing on Stone case. She also at least 3 times invoked Trump tweets about the jury for putting the jurors at risk
