Roger Stone Deposition - Corsi Klayman Defamation Suit - Part 1 of 3

The Roger Stone deposition in the Corsi-Klayman defamation suit refers to legal proceedings involving Roger Stone, Jerome Corsi, and Larry Klayman. This suit stems from a defamation claim by Corsi and Klayman, both controversial political figures, who alleged that Stone defamed them through public statements and online commentary.Here’s an outline of Part 1 of 3 of the deposition and its key components:Context of the Suit
  1. The Parties Involved:
    • Roger Stone: Longtime political operative and confidant of Donald Trump, known for his provocative tactics.
    • Jerome Corsi: A conspiracy theorist and former InfoWars contributor, involved in the Mueller investigation over his ties to WikiLeaks.
    • Larry Klayman: Lawyer and founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, representing Corsi in this defamation lawsuit.
  2. The Allegations:
    • Stone allegedly defamed Corsi and Klayman by making public statements accusing them of being liars, frauds, and incompetent, which they argue harmed their reputations.
Key Highlights from Part 1 of the Deposition
  1. Opening Statements and Ground Rules:
    • The deposition begins with attorneys from both sides setting the tone, reviewing procedural rules, and ensuring that Stone understands the gravity of providing truthful testimony under oath.
  2. Stone’s Defenses and Responses:
    • Denial of Malice: Stone argues that his statements were either opinions protected under the First Amendment or factual assertions he believed to be true at the time.
    • Political Context: Stone often frames his comments about Corsi and Klayman in the broader context of political disagreements, attempting to downplay their defamatory nature.
  3. Questions Regarding Statements:
    • The plaintiffs' attorney questions Stone about specific remarks he made about Corsi and Klayman in media appearances, social media posts, and interviews.
    • Stone is pressed to clarify whether he had evidence supporting his claims or if they were purely opinion-based.
  4. Corsi’s Role in the Mueller Investigation:
    • Stone discusses his knowledge of Jerome Corsi’s alleged involvement in WikiLeaks-related matters during the 2016 election.
    • He is asked whether his statements about Corsi being unreliable or dishonest were influenced by their falling out during the Mueller investigation.
  5. Klayman’s Reputation as a Lawyer:
    • The deposition includes pointed questions about Larry Klayman’s professional conduct and whether Stone’s remarks were intentionally aimed at discrediting him as an attorney.
  6. Tone and Tactics:
    • As expected from Roger Stone, his responses are combative and often laced with sarcasm, making for a contentious and dramatic deposition.
Legal and Public Implications
  • The deposition serves as a key part of the discovery process, allowing Corsi and Klayman to establish whether Stone’s statements meet the legal standard for defamation, including proving malice and harm.
  • Stone’s characteristic defiance and sharp tongue make the deposition noteworthy, as he often uses such platforms to air grievances and promote his narrative.
