According to the motion, the clerkâs office âinformed counsel for Mr. Stone that the Indictmentâs entry into the docket was made on January 25 at 8:55 a.m., more than two- and-a-half-hours after the news reporter sent the âdraftâ Indictment to counsel, and four hours after the news organizationâs camera crew arrived at Mr. Stoneâs house to film his arrest on the sealed Indictment.â
Based on this new evidence, Stoneâs attorneyâs contend his arrest on Jan. 25, was staged for the CNN crew, which was ready to film the arrest and that someone in the Special Counselâs office leaked the information.
âThe copy of the unsigned indictment provided by the reporter appears to have come from the Special Counselâs Office,â according to the motion. In the Exhibit 2 document the metadata shows the signatures of AAW. According to the metadata on the âdraftâ indictment provided by a reporter while Stone was being arrested, established that it came from an âAAWâ author or computer. That a member of the Special Counselâs office has the initials âAAW,â supports a reasonable inference that that office is responsible for the unlawful public disclosure of a grand jury document sealed by order of the Court.â
