He'll go into custody then from what I'm reading.

He's a bigger idiot than I thought. I'm just surprised his lawyers didn't all quit on him yesterday.

And the MAGAts wonder why the FBI went to seize him with that large of a squad. Well this bullshit of threatening a judge is why

She won't have to do it (although I'm sure his lawyers make that argument). Stone totally stepped on his dick, and I'd be surprised if the judge doesn't have him taken into custody or at least set a high bail (I think right now he's out on OR) and give him a fashionable ankle bracelet to wear.

I'm not entirely certain he possesses one. I think he may be a galactic alien.

This is Roger Stone thinking he could pull one of his "dirty tricks". Unfortunately for him, he's up against Judge Berman who is NOT playing.

I hope she puts him in jail. I'm sure she knows exactly the type of fool he is and that he will try another stunt. Stone's lucky he still has lawyers after this

Fuck him
