Stone says he "will be present for the hearing as ordered."

By Ali Dukakis24m ago

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered political operative and former adviser to Donald Trump, Roger Stone, to explain his since-deleted Instagram post on Monday in which he slammed the judge and later issued an apology to her.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson issued an order for Stone to return to U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., on Thursday for a show cause hearing to explain why the conditions of his release and limited gag order "should not be modified or revoked in light of the posts on his Instagram account."

"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 again Hillary Clinton and incarcerated Paul Manafort prior to his conviction for any crime," Stone wrote in a caption to the post, which featured a picture of Judge Jackson with a what appeared to be a crosshairs in the upper corner.

Stone completed the caption the request, "Help me fight for my life" and a link to his legal defense fund.

1. I hope his pre-trial Bond is revoked and he goes to jail and Gag order increased

Because he won’t stop and he needs to have consequences or else it just continues and others think it’s ok too.

2. +1

3. I hope Judge Amy reads this or makes Stone read it in open court and then says something like ....

.... Do you want to explain your actions to the court?

BTW R Stone was the person behind "the Brooks Brothers riot" which stopped the recount in one county
in Florida in 2000. LOCK HIM UP.

5. I'd never heard of the Brooks Brothers Riot..... damn those bastards play dirty.

I sure the hell hope Roger Stone spends a significant amount of time in prison.

[Botany]

8. And everyone in that picture of the rioters ended up getting paying jobs w/and for republicans

.... matter of fact one "worked" to make sure the fix was in for Brett Kavanough's
"investigation" into his background. The GOP needs these kind of rat fuckers to
keep power.

9. By the way...

Roger Stone was a disciple of Lee Atwater and one of Dick Nixon’s Rat Fuckers.

11. Rat fuckers and cheaters ... end of story

19. I'd like to know what was going on in this photo....

....why is Lee Atwater's fly open?

[WhoWoodaKnew]

21. Manafort, Stone and Atwater. Three really honest dudes. ;)

[alphafemale]

23. Aren't they charming?

Paul Manafort is the only guilty looking one.

He hasn't improved his poker face.

[COLGATE4]

28. He even looks like a fucking rat. All he needs is a tail

and a piece of cheese!

[Raster]

12. Atwater and Stone* slithered out of the same nest of vipers.

[Cetacea]

18. Miami-Dade has over one million voters; 2/1 democratic

The election was most likely lost due to Stone.

[Botany]

20. The election was most likely lost due to Stone.

And the SCOTUS too who ruled that it was illegal to count the ballots.

[Cetacea]

24. Yes. SCOTUS.

Stone just set the table for not counting the votes through media manipulation.

[muriel_volestrangler]

4. Even without the crosshairs, it was an inflammatory posting

"Deep State hitman", "show trial", and criticising the judge inaccurately - "dismissed the Benghazi charges" when it wasn't "charges", but a wrongful death suit: https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2017/05/27/Judge-dismisses-wrongful-death-suit-against-Clinton-over-Benghazi/5811495910092/?st_rec=2341495913466 (and the "incarceration prior to conviction" was the revocation of bail, for witness tampering: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-15/manafort-sent-to-jail-after-judge-cancels-house-arrest-jig5977k ).

[BlueIdaho]

6. Lock. Him. Up.

Stone has zero respect for the law and even less for women. Let him flash his Trickey Dickey double V pose from a federal prison exercise yard.

[beachbum bob]

7. she can revoke his bail and he can sit in a jail cell from now until the trial

she can issue a contempt citation for the implied threat and he can sit in jail until the trial...


I don't see how he remains free on bail after this

[Progressive Jones]

30. If I were the judge in this case, that decision would have already been made.

The hearing would just be a required legal formality, and an opportunity to shove all of this right up Stone's ass before sending him to jail directly from the courtroom.

[brooklynite]

10. Paul Manafort can probably use a cellmate.

[lagomorph777]

13. I don't think Stone will be in the Caviar Wing of the penitentiary.

More like Mar-A-Gitmo.

[okaawhatever]

29. Mar-a-Gitmo. Good one. LOL nt

[FeatherFox]

14. Smart, Intelligent Response.

Rather than just a knee jerk reaction, she is asking for a response. This is a reasonable request from the judge, as it should be. I applaud Judge Jackson for her reasoned response.

[SWBTATTReg]

15. Stone is an ignorant piece of trash and mocks our justice system solely as a political sideshow...

I hope that the justice system really does him a number as he deserves since he's thinking literally that he's above the law. What an ass(*(*.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

16. Lock him up!!!

[TexasBushwhacker]

17. What the fuck was he thinking?

I don't care if he posted a picture of her with hearts and flowers. IT'S INAPPROPRIATE!!!

[riversedge]

22. his Ego is as big as Trumps---and gets in the way of thinking.

25. Palin used crosshairs just before Gabby Giffords was shot.

If memory serves me correctly Palin toned herself down not too long after that. Personally, I believe that was the beginning of the end of her political career.
