Buzzfeed News reports:
Questioned in court last week about his recent Instagram post featuring a photo of the judge presiding over his case with what resembled a crosshairs symbol, Roger Stone said under oath that a “volunteer” found the image. He insisted he couldn’t recall who exactly, though, and struggled to identify the five or six people he said were serving as his volunteers at the time.
The names he offered after being pressed by the prosecutor underscored Stone’s ties to the Proud Boys, a far-right, men-only extremist group that describes its members as “Western chauvinist.”
The four men identified by Stone are all active on social media, and several continued to post about Stone’s case after US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson imposed a strict gag order Thursday — an order that limits not only what Stone can say in public and online, but what his surrogates and volunteers can say on his behalf.
Hit the link for more. One of men named is Florida-based homocon blogger and Gateway Pundit contributor Jacob Engels, who the Daily Beast has just christened as “Roger Stone’s Mini-Me.”
Roger Stone is currently being grilled in court about his assistants, names one of them as Jacob Engels. Coincidentally, I just wrote about Engels and the strange job of being Stone’s assistant: https://t.co/b8U9SVjXBu
