17. What do you think about the other kettle of fish?

The Instagram about who framed Roger Stone?

Also, the other issue. The judge asked the defense last week to report when Stone's "new" book would be coming out. It's actually an old book with a new intro by Alan Dershowitz. And it turns out that intro was already readable online (at Amazon, at least) on the day the judge asked the question. (It actually might have been available online as early as Feb. 19 -- 2 days before the gag order.)

But the defense team didn't inform the judge about the book -- expected in stores on March 1 -- at the time of the gag order. And in the court hearing on Friday, they didn't inform the judge that the new intro (written in Jan. 2019) was already published online.

Do you have an educated guess about how the judge might react to all this?
