Roger Stone just posted, and then deleted a photo of his judge, Amy Berman Jackson, claiming she's an Obama/Clinton puppet. The doctored photo of Jackson shows her head beside a crosshairs target. The post was obviously intended to do three things:
1. Raise money for his defence fund by ginning up hatred against the judge, by linking her to Obama and Clinton.
2. 'Put some stink on' Judge Jackson, thus destroying her credibility, and thus the credibility of Stone's trial, and
3. possibly to force Judge Jackson to snap, and do something rash to Stone, which may result in her having to recuse herself later.
Note to Stone: you can't insult your judge, and then demand that the judge recuse her/himself on the grounds that they may (now) be biased against the defendant. Smarter people than you have tried that trick and failed.
More telling, however, is where Stone got the image he used. It originated at a Russian propaganda site, called 'Aim for Truth.' The usual type of fake patriot website designed by the FSB/KGB that's intended to stir up American right wing radicals. It also includes doxing information containing Judge Jackson's financial disclosure forms for the last few years. Looks like the Russians are still trying to protect their assets in America.

I noticed that Hannity is constantly attacking Mueller's deputy Andrew Weissmann. Weissmann is their favourite target next to Mueller. No surprise there, but what do they attack him over??? Prosecuting the crooks at ENRON! Is that suddenly a BAD thing? Apparently it is. Hannity is always whining about all the people Weissmann 'put out of work' by bringing down the Enron criminal enterprise.
The attitude of American 'conservatives' has been that big businessmen (and by extension, their allies and henchmen) are above the law, because they're more 'valuable' than regular people. Valuable because they're the 'job creators.' So, prosecutors have been turning a blind eye to them for decades. They got used to it, and now it's coming back to bite them.

(82,849 posts)Just happens that that friend cruises a lot of websites that Roger Stone has never, ever looked at ever, and it was just rotten luck that he came up with that picture of Judge Jackson from a sketchy website.
No, he doesn't remember who the friend was. Lives in Canada. You don't know him.
