That was right before the judge asked one of the prosecutors standing there in the courtroom whether he had assessed whether flynns actions actually might rise to the level of treason. The prosecutor said in response effectively the judge later walked that back. But he didnt walk it back that much.

Just made tonight. Very exciting. But meanwhile, we are having another one of those days in this presidency where it feels like president Richard Nixon wrote the first draft of whats about to happen here for us. He tried all the stuff before and showed how it works out, but for whatever reason, our current president in this current presidency either dont know that nixonian history, or they dont mind it, or maybe they think it will turn out differently if they try nixons playbook a second time around.

The stone indictment is not like any, not like any weve seen thus far roger stone isnt like any of the other people charged and bob mueller knows it, so he has his reasons for pressing forward with what looks to be a very public rhetorical brawl. Stone posted his 250,000 bond and then seized the moment right here you see it, channelling his old boss Richard Nixon waving his arms in a victory salute in front of the courthouse thats exactly the kind of spectacle that mueller would expect from a defendant who has literally tattooed Richard Nixons face on his back today stone attacking the probe, declaring his loyalty to trump and fit in an apparent pardon pun for good measure if youre convicted, do you think the president will pardon you .
