Roger Stone departs the U.S. District Court following the second day of his criminal trial in Washington on Nov. 6, 2019., a longtime adviser to former President Donald Trump, is refusing to be deposed or hand over documents to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, his attorney said in a letter dated Monday.

The letter, which Stone provided to NBC News on Tuesday, invokes his Fifth Amendment right not to testify. “Given that the Select Committee's demand for documents is overbroad, overreaching, and far too wide-ranging to be deemed anything other than a fishing expedition, Mr. Stone has a constitutional right to decline to respond," his attorney, Grant Smith, wrote."Indeed, the Select Committee seeks an imprecise and undefined category of 'documents and communications concerning' a broad range of constitutionally protected political activity.

This is taking too long. 😴

What a hero!

If things keep going as they are (slowly) and the Democrats loose big in the midterms (likely). The American people will sadly never know the truth and the traitors will never be held accountable.

Bye felica enjoy jail

As a leftie, invoking the 5th does not mean you are guilty.

This is a waste of time. Even if they do go to jail the next GOP President will just pardon them.

The judge will use his right to suggest he's a moron and chuck his rear to jail then I suppose.

I really wish they would just let it go.. they not going to be charged.. it's a waste of time. Had they been black...they would have all been charged and thrown in jail by now

He lives in America but is not American. He tried to destroy us, and people follow him.

They are going to abuse the legal system and drag this out until the next election. They'll claim 'patriotism' and fan the flames by claiming 'It's taking so long because the DOJ knows we're right.'

Tom_Winter Of course he does. He’ll be found in contempt and get a trial date close to midterms. Before he’s forced to comply with documents, Republicans take control and shut down the 1/6 commission. The former guy and his henchmen get away.

Lol

So he’s guilty! They should offer him immunity then he can not refuse or he’ll go directly to jail.

When Republicans use their rights its unethical lol

Well. It was a galant effort January6thCmte . Not.

A guilty ones way out of incriminating themselves.

Warm up the next jail cell for old Stoney.
