LEGAL/ROBERT MUELLER/ROGER STONE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “The federal judge overseeing the Roger Stone case is considering a gag order, she said at a hearing in Washington on Friday [2-1-19]…Jackson cautioned Stone, a longtime Republican campaign adviser and confidant of President Donald Trump, against treating the buildup to the trial ‘like a book tour’ and reminded him he should not argue his case ‘on the talk show circuit.’ She also said that if a gag order is imposed, that wouldn’t limit all of Stone’s public speaking. He and others in the case, Jackson said, could still ‘discuss foreign relations, immigration or Tom Brady.’ Jackson, who handles several cases related to the Mueller investigation, previously imposed a gag order over former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s criminal case restricting Manafort’s team’s public statements. Both sides will be given a chance to respond to Jackson by next Friday.”
