BREAKING: A newly revealed Mueller filing indicates that warrants used in the Russian hacker case, where Mueller indicted 12 Russians for hacking the DNC, surfaced “certain evidence that is relevant” to Roger Stone’s case.

This is MAJOR

It means that Roger Stone's indictment appears to be directly related to the hacking by the 12 Russian Intel operatives, and that when they obtained evidence in warrants of those operatives, they found evidence for the Stone case, linking them together.

My guess is that Mueller is preparing additional Stone indictments, and this may very well be a racketeering case.

ON EDIT: SEE THIS VOX ARTICLE FOR MORE INFO:

https://www.vox.com/2019/2/15/18223791/mueller-roger-stone-russian-hackers-related-case

Mueller’s team makes two specific points here:

Search warrants: “In particular, certain evidence that is relevant to [Stone’s] case was derived from search warrants executed in Netyksho et al.”

The same stolen documents: The special counsel adds that “the alleged obstructive conduct” in Stone’s case is about his knowledge of “the dissemination of stolen documents during the 2016 presidential campaign” — namely, John Podesta’s hacked emails. The Netyksho indictment was, in part, about the hacking of those emails.

Now, perhaps the “related case” designation is a simple legal formality that Mueller was required to do. The DC federal district court’s local rules state that cases “are deemed related” when there’s, for instance, a common search warrant.

But there are some potential strategic reasons Mueller might be happy to have the Stone case before Judge Jackson in particular.

ON EDIT:

Here is a related court document that was filed today, in which Mueller justifies his earlier connection of the Stone case with the Russian case.

1. nice

[nolabear]

2. Who is Krassenstein? He bird dogs 45 like nobody's business.

I don’t see him anywhere but man are he and another Krassenstein on his case on Twitter.

[pnwmom]

3. His Twitter ID says he's an Editor at HillReporter.com

[nolabear]

5. Thanks for looking for me. Have you heard of it?

I’m just making conversation while waiting for the typically late 45.

[pnwmom]

7. I've seen the site from time to time but I've wondered about him and his site, too.

He seems to post a lot from original sources, so he seems legit.

[fleur-de-lisa]

8. He does very little actual reporting.

He usually reads reports prepared by other journalists, then rehashes their stories and tries to pass it off as his own work.

Or he retweets stories by real journalists.

In my opinion, he is just short of a plagiarist.

[pnwmom]

13. I have found him posting court documents before other people at times.

I think he does follow the documents, and that's not plagiarism.

[FakeNoose]

20. In other words, he's a blogger

They all do the same thing, but they give credit to their sources, so they aren't plagiarizing.

[Indykatie]

24. Fleur-de-lisa is Right on Point

They are 2 brothers who basically cut and paste others' work and NEVER provide a link to the original source material. They're dodgy in other ways too. Check out their financial history. I was not aware of the Hill connection but that site doesn't rank high on my list either.

9. There are two Krassensteins.. they are twins...

10. Brian and Ed Krassenstein

are enthusiastic anti-Trump guys, but they're not professional reporters and also are not academic/research types out publishing articles in journals. So, take their "reporting" with a grain of salt.

[pnwmom]

14. I mainly see them when they've reported a new court document. I just found more info

on it by Vox, by the way, and added it to the OP.

[Lindsay]

11. Brian Krassenstein

and his twin (I think) brother Ed seem pretty much to BE HillReporter.com.

(I'm guessing they both have day jobs.)

I think they're both dedicated amateur anti-Trumpers. I take most of what they write with a grain of salt, because it often seems to be wishful thinking. But in this case, a court filing is a court filing.

18. The brothers on Vice

[progressoid]

27. "linked to a Russian ponzi scheme" Oops.

6. K&R...

[onetexan]

12. Lock the traitor up for conspiracy

[kentuck]

15. Stone is the key to opening the door to understanding this conspiracy..

...in my opinion.

[lastlib]

19. (all we have to do is roll the Stone away from the door.....

...and we'll find tRump(ski). And probably his evil worthless spawn as well.)

[Blue Owl]

16. When Stone flashed his "V" it actually stands for "Vlad"

n/t

[Achilleaze]

17. republican traitors betrayed America

and the GOP is covering up their treason

[certainot]

21. why did some of those russians visit various states?

was it to hack voting machines? can those machines be hacked if they're not turned on? were they hacking dem employees with voter data? couldn't that be done from a distance?

why would they travel to various different states?

[triron]

22. Something nefarious for sure.

[C Moon]

23. So this is why Trump is putting the wall in the front of the news.

Instructed to do so by Putin, I'm sure.
McConnell's in on this, as well.
Throw them in prison, NOW!

[TalenaGor]

25. I feel like this and probably something else coming today is why we have a national emergency today

"look over here"

[UCmeNdc]

26. K&R

[zentrum]

28. Not clear whether this links

...Stone to all 12. Or if it's saying only that among the 12, something emerged linked to Stone. Sounds like more than one but not clearly all 12.

[pnwmom]

29. The point is it links him to the 12 Russian hacker CASE. n/t

[zentrum]

32. Ah-ha. Thnx.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

30. kickety

[MarcoZandrini]

31. Lock him...

...up! That Nixon tat will give over well in prison.

[calimary]

33. OH Yeeeeeaaaahhhhh.

Roger the Ratfucker - goin' DOWN.

At least I ardently hope so!
