    Roger Stone To Use DNC Lawsuit Discovery To Probe Servers, Hacking Evidence

    Roger Stone To Use DNC Lawsuit Discovery To Probe Servers, Hacking Evidence
    Saagar Enjeti

    Longtime Republican strategist Roger Stone and his lawyers intend to try and examine the Democratic National Committee’s servers for evidence of Russian hacking amid an ongoing lawsuit, he told The Daily Caller Monday.
    The DNC sued the 2016 Trump campaign, Stone, Manafort, Wikileaks and other involved entities Friday alleging an illegal conspiracy with the Russian government. The lawsuit “is based on conjecture, supposition and projection with no evidence, facts or proof,” Stone said in an email to TheDC.
    “The DNC lawsuit opens the door of discovery. My lawyers and I want to examine the DNC servers to settle this bogus claim of Russian hacking once and for all,” Stone declared.
    A letter from Stone’s lawyers to the DNC said, “One purpose of this letter is to advise the DNC we intend to test the basic underlying claims that “Russians” hacked, stole, and disseminated DNC data, rather than the various other plausible scenarios, including internal theft.”


    Stone added to TheDC that “The lawsuit is bogus, baseless, without merit- offering no hard proof to back up their fantasy that I conspired with a group of others to work with the Russians to hack the DNC and give the fruits of that hack to Wikileaks. It’s a fairy tale, a hoax and a canard.”

    It'll never happen. Teh Dee en Cee will drop the lawsuit before they ever let that happen. Besides, like you said, any evidence is long gone. However, pay attention to the Imran Awan case.

    It's in federal court -- so the Plaintiff (the party bringing the suit) cannot unilaterally dismiss the action. I'd use the discovery rules to take the DNC to the woodshed. I would resist any attempts for a protective or confidentiality order -- which are customary in these types of cases. This was a bad idea IMHO.

    They'll find a leftist federal judge to back them up, like they always do. But I hope you are right counselor. Thanks for the info.

    the screw turns, slowly, but it turns..........you know that the DNC will never allow anyone to get their hands on that server.

    I know.... I suspect that it'll be 'oops, it was destroyed...so sorry...so sad...' That's called "spoliation of evidence" in my business. In that circumstance, if it is found that the destruction was intentional, the other side is entitled to tell the jury that the destroyed evidence would've hurt the side last in possession of it and helped them -- adverse inference.

    What happened to Hillary when she wiped her subpoenaed server, and literally smashed devices with a hammer? Oh that's right, absolutely nothing.

    Well... there was a D in the justice department. She should've been charged with destruction of public records - or something like that. Remember, those were all public records, belonging to you that she destroyed. Spoliation didn't apply then b/c there was no lawsuit, but it could now - possibly.
