Document Summary

Assistant us attorney zelinsky statement part 2: stone had had extensive discussions involving the information he was receiving about. Wikileaks throughout the summer and fall with manafort, gates, bannon and trump himself. Rather than disclose all of this information, roger stone chose to lie: as the judge said at the sentencing, those lies hindered the efforts of congress to investigate russian interference into the 2016 election. The judge rejected the notion that stone had been prosecuted for standing up for the president insisting that he was prosecuted for covering up for the president. Following his congressional testimony, stone embarked on an extended campaign of witness intimidation and obstruction of justice: stone was indicted by a grand jury in january of 2019. Following this, stone repeatedly violated orders of the court culminating in him publishing a picture of the presiding judge with crosshairs next to her head and attacking her as corrupt.
