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.
Hes 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 hes not supposed to be doing, commenting on the Mueller investigation, calling it phony, calling it a witch hunt. Everything hes not supposed to do is in the re-release of the book.
Stones book, Alksne said, is the least of his worries.
Shes 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 shes saying to the lawyers is you should have told me about this book.

(70,489 posts)"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 todays orders, I will find it necessary to adjust your environment so that you dont have access to the temptations posed by cameras, phones, computers and microphones."
