Dear Judge Amy Berman Jackson, please wipe the smirk off of Stone's face today. Thank you.



Former federal prosecutor Cynthia Alksne told MSNBC on Monday that Roger Stone, longtime confidante of President Donald Trump, was out of chances with Judge Amy Berman Jackson, and would likely be remanded to jail after his court appearance later today, where Stone will have to explain his failure to comply with a gag order issued by the court.

“He’s in a heap of trouble,” Alksne said flatly. “Not only is the judge upset about the Instagram post, ‘who framed Roger Rabbit,’ but the re-release of this book which does everything he’s not supposed to be doing, commenting on the Mueller investigation, calling it phony, calling it a witch hunt. Everything he’s not supposed to do is in the re-release of the book.”

Stone’s book, Alksne said, is the least of his worries.

“She’s not only pushing Roger Stone to find out what he did, she appears to be upset with the lawyers,” Alksne continued. “When you go into court, the most important thing you have is your credibility, and what she’s saying to the lawyers is you should have told me about this book.”

I'm a little confused because his court appearance isn't until Thursday. Today is just the deadline for Stone's lawyers to respond about the book.

In this case, they described a television interview. I'd rather read their quotes in a few seconds than have to sit through a video on YouTube.

"What all this means, Mr. Stone, is that any violation of this order will be a basis for revoking your bond and detaining you pending trial. So I want to be clear, today I gave you a second chance. But this is not baseball. There will not be a third chance. If you cannot, or will not, or do not comply with today’s orders, I will find it necessary to adjust your environment so that you don’t have access to the temptations posed by cameras, phones, computers and microphones."

By simply clicking the Here Link! WhiteHouse Attorneys have failed to meet the House time lines,too.

Honestly guys, there is so much corruption it is hard to keep up.

But thanks for the articles.
