Either this is a doctored image or Stone's passport-"proven" claim he never left America between 2010 and 2017 except to go to the Bahamas (2010) and Romania (2017) is false.
It's no wonder Mueller is investigating Stone and—per Nunberg—considering criminal charges against him.

2/ And by the way, if it's a doctored image, I sure hope Stone said so *unambiguously* if at any point he turned this image over to Bob Mueller—or simply discussed it with him. Stone is playing with fire by pretending to be a traitor to the United States, and it may yet burn him.
3/ One possibility is that Stone made this trip in late '17 or early '18, in which case he *was* trying to mislead reporters when he showed them a single page from his passport showing trips from '10 to '17—he wasn't willing to reveal his trolling. Who plays with fire like this?
4/ Stone dares journalists to find the picture's origin, when they first saw it on Assange's Twitter feed (described as trolling) a month ago—which of course makes it more, not less, suspicious, as Assange would naturally want to frame as "trolling" any contact he had with Stone.
5/ Stone allies may laud his trolling—and indeed it would be hilariously impish if *a federal prosecutor weren't currently considering charging Stone with a federal felony for lying to federal investigators on the subject of whether he committed crimes against the United States*.
6/ The pic of Stone in London appears to be from 1/29/18; it was written up in The Guardian 3 days later (below). The Guardian notes Stone did claim, in 2017, that he had had a "back channel" to Assange during the election. Stone then deleted that tweet. theguardian.com/media/2018/feb…
