Roger Stone heads to trial in Mueller offshoot case, after months of open conflict with judge

Roger Stone, a longtime Republican provocateur and part-time fashion critic, is accused of witness tampering and lying to the House Intelligence Committee about his efforts to obtain Russian-hacked Hillary Clinton emails for political gain.

But, ever since his arrest in a dramatic nighttime raid by a heavily armed federal tactical team in January, Stone has remained combative and defiant, even flashing the infamous Richard Nixon "V sign" before a throng of photographers. Then, a month later, Stone aroused Jackson's ire when Stone's Instagram posted a photo appearing to show Jackson with gun crosshairs behind her.

“Through legal trickery, Deep State hitman Robert Mueller has guaranteed that my upcoming show trial is before Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointed Judge who dismissed the Benghazi charges against Hillary Clinton and incarcerated Paul Manafort prior to his conviction for any crime,” Stone’s post was captioned.

Stone apologized, but Jackson quickly issued a gag order barring Stone from social media — which Stone repeatedly violated, including by calling Special Counsel Robert Mueller "crooked" and allegedly calling for ex-CIA Director John Brennan to be summarily executed.

Arrogant fuckhead is going to get his comeuppance. When on trial you don't antagonize the judge.

Actual courtroom proceedings aren't like working a friendly crowd are they, Rog?

If I were called for duty, I suppose I'd state I could be objective and unbiased. But just distant exposure to that creep and his world is repellent.

after he issued a death threat? It seems to me his bail should have been revoked, yet he remained free to the best of my knowledge.
