(6,831 posts)If he thinks he can get her removed for a more favorable judge, he'll try anything. He KNOWS he's mega-fucked. This is just the latest salvo in an attempt to get his case tossed.
I don't think I've ever seen a man so obsessed with stepping on his own dick (with golf shoes).
We've got lawyers here on DU -- tell me legal ones - how do you defend someone like this ?

(146,336 posts)Who would even think of doing something like that to the judge presiding over your criminal case? Rank stupidity!
I think the judge should simply revoke his release order and have him re-arrested and jailed until his trial. And that may be exactly what this judge does, with full justification.
Lochloosa
(16,072 posts)Stone and his lawyers.
MineralMan
(146,336 posts)Posting that photo was a real dick move. Even though he took it right down, people are watching his social media accounts like hawks right now, so it got massive distribution almost instantly.
The judge in his case, depicted in a photograph with crosshairs in the background? That's a clear threat and an attempt to interfere with the court. The judge will be fully justified in revoking his release order immediately. I think she should.
Pachamama
(16,887 posts)I completely agree
I would add that it is arrogance and hubris and that if he isnt thrown in jail and gag order made stronger, he will never stop and others in that Cabal wont either.
Roger is a big talker but wait till he is in an orange jumpsuit and having to be incarcerated till his trial.

Haggis for Breakfast
(6,831 posts)But then again, so is posting a photo of the presiding judge with cross-hair target near her head (from an anti-semitic website).
If he thinks he's going to get a more sympathetic jurist, he just fucked himself. An attack on one of them is an attack on them all. They've already circled the wagons around her.

(26,060 posts)The reason his case was linked to those russians Mueller indicted is annoying him so he wants the cases separated with a different judge.

(4,012 posts)will recuse and give the case to another judge. Yet, Stone is still an idiot as even a Bush 1, II, Clinton or other president's federal judge appointment will likely preside over a jury that WILL find him guilty nonetheless.

(62,444 posts)This is the order in question, incidentally:
https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.203583/gov.uscourts.dcd.203583.36.0_6.pdf
It is hereby ORDERED that
Counsel for the parties and the witnesses must refrain from making statements to the media or in public settings that pose a substantial likelihood of material prejudice to this case; and
it is FURTHER ORDERED that
all interested participants in the matter, including the parties, any potential witnesses, and counsel for the parties and the witnesses, must refrain, when they are entering or exiting the courthouse, or they are within the immediate vicinity of the courthouse, from making statements to the media or to the public that pose a substantial likelihood of material prejudice to this case or are intended to influence any juror, potential juror, judge, witness or court officer or interfere with the administration of justice. There will be no additional restrictions imposed on the defendants public statements or appearances at this time, although this order may be amended in the future consistent with Local Criminal Rule 57.7(c) if necessary.
Stone was prohibited from making certain types of statements at or in the vicinity of the courthouse. His Instagram post is clearly not in violation of the previous order.
So, the judge may consider amending the order, but there is no ground for him to be held in contempt or any of the other various retributive notions in this thread.
Tommy_Carcetti
(43,212 posts)But posting what appears to be a threat to the presiding judge on his case might violate terms of his pretrial release.
Does anyone have the exact language of his pretrial release?
onenote
(42,779 posts)wishstar
(5,272 posts)In the paragraph above his signature there are several violations considered severe enough to warrant additional prison time including attempts to intimidate witnesses, jurors and officers of the court. The way he posted her picture with the verbal accusations could certainly be considered attempting to intimidate an officer of the court.

duforsure
(11,885 posts)Judicial intimidation , and suggesting incitement of others against her IS a direct threat, and another trump tactic he often uses to make suggestions others could hurt them , and now Stone's using images to incite and threaten with. He should be put behind bars for doing this or it'll be used again , and others will use it, and this will only escalate if he's allowed to stay free after this.

Perhaps Stone can smuggle the shovel he's been using to dig this hole for himself into prison when his bail is revoked.
Thunderbeast
(3,424 posts)The new AG is probably working on the language now. Pardons would likely inoculate his prized spawn from indictments, as this would signal his intent on further prosecutions.
Trump believes he can "thread the needle" to avoid conviction in the senate after impeachment.
His boss in Moscow has promised that Gucifer 3.0 will get him re-elected.
jmowreader
(50,566 posts)Trump is in self-preservation mode. The only people more able to send Trump away for life than Stone and Manafort are Kushner and his kids. Trump knows this, and also knows theyd be required to roll over on him if he pardoned them...so, no pardon for you!
