Corsi doubled down on Wednesday on a strategy that has become more and more apparent as the days go on — a strategy of completely distancing himself from Roger Stone. Corsi, who first accused Mueller of attempting to force him into a lie about his communications with Stone, most recently claimed Stone tried to give him a stroke and threatened…

The order, issued by U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson, prohibits Stone from making statements to the media at the Washington, D.C. courthouse where his case will be handled, though the longtime GOP operative will largely be allowed to speak publicly about his case. Lawyers and witnesses in the case face a more stringent gag order, Jackson ruled. Continue Reading…..

By Darren Samuelsohn POLITICO February 15, 2019 The judge slapped similar restraints in the fall of 2017 on Paul Manafort, his longtime business partner Rick Gates and their attorneys just days after they were initially indicted in the Mueller probe. For Stone, the gag order was more a matter of when, and not if. The longtime GOP campaign operative and frequent TV commentator who hosts his own daily webcast has been on a media blitz since his indictment last month. He called into the conspiracy theory website InfoWars to give his first interview following his arrest. Continue Reading…..
