Roger released on bond

Roger Stone appeared disheveled, wearing jeans and a polo and fully shackled when he made a brief court appearance Friday in federal court in Florida, CNN reported.

According to CNN reporter Nick Valencia, Stone is being released with a $250,000 bond: he doesn’t have to pay the money so long as he makes all of his court appearances.

The appearance reportedly lasted no longer than 10 minutes. Stone managed to avoid cameras on his way into the courthouse.

The CNN video embedded in this article indicates that Stone's travel is restricted to the Eastern District of DC and Virginia, the Eastern District of New York, and South Florida (where he was arrested).

I'm guessing the travel to DC, Virginia and New York have to do with other related cases in which he might be called upon for testimony.

This is what Stone was saying in December:

“I put my faith in God. I put my faith in this president and in my family. I've done nothing wrong and I'll fight to the bitter end to prove it,” Stone said.

Something he predicts the president will do as well.

“My concern is that he has timid advisors who are ill-suited for what is going to be a brawling fight ahead,” Stone predicted.

[...]

“I had no advance notice of the content or the source of the WikiLeaks documents,” Stone said. “I am not going to bear false witness against the president. I'm not going to lie to avoid some trumped up charges against me."

It appears Mueller has the receipts to prove otherwise. Let's see what he says about it after being arrested. This may well be "the bitter end."



We'll see.



I don't know.  Constant lying doesn't make you good at it.

UPDATE:



Let's see what he says in court filings, though.



I'm very skeptical.

UPDATE:



Alex Jones, because that's where all the Trumpanzee nutjobs - people who would be most likely to contribute to Stone's pocketbook - go for information.  He's just going to soak them.  He's not going to fight.
