The four “volunteers” who Roger Stone identified in court as having worked for him at the time a disparaging image was posted on his Instagram are still posting in Stone’s defense on social media, despite the gag order, BuzzFeed reported.

On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman placed a gag order on Stone that not only limits what he can say in public and online, but also what his volunteers and associates can say about him as well.

The volunteers are members of the Proud Boys, a male far-right extremist group. One of the volunteers, Rey Perez, tweeted on Friday about how the “liberal media” was trying to spin #RogerStoneArrested into evidence of #RussianCollusion.” Another volunteer that Stone identified in court, Enrique Tarrio, wore a t-shirt that said, “Roger Stone did nothing wrong!” at a Trump speech last week.

  1. Amazing how complicated these things are to the master race.

    Doesn’t this fit ABJ’s definition of crossing the line in the new gag order? Can’t we just revoke bail and throw the MF-er in jail already now ?

  3. Wow the Master of Mischief and Mayhem can’t control his minions, sad.

  4. Look, I would just as soon see Stone with permanent severe toothaches and non-stop diarrhea for the rest of his life. But how do you expect to place a gag order on the people that support him? They have the right to babble (and lie) as much as anybody else. Stone was in a position that a judge could issue a gag order. He really can not “control” these fools. If publicly supporting him on social media is actually a way to get his sorry ass thrown in jail… let’s all join his support team and get it done!

  5. He doesn’t want to control them, it’s part of the plan. The judge should just cut the BS and throw him in the slammer.
