Roger Stone is now GAGGED.


?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1098689366258442240&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.democraticunderground.com%2F10142271686

Roger Stone is gagged

Judge Amy Berman Jackson changes the terms and gags Roger Stone completely.

From this moment on, Stone may not speak publicly about the investigation or the case or any participants in the investigation or the case.






Shimon Prokupecz

The judge warns Roger Stone that further violations could cause him to be detained.

"This is not baseball. There will not be a third chance."

Judge Amy Jackson said Roger Stone can talk about other matters but nothing to do with this case.





Roger Stone has been gagged, but he can continue to raise money.

One shirt that was already on sale PRIOR to today's hearing? "Gagged but not forgotten." Stone appears to have anticipated this moment.

Putting him in jail might've just increased the "the deep state is out to get me"

I wanted him locked up too, but this may be a worse punishment.

Mouth off Roger,.. besides what is a female judge doing casting judgment on an alpha male like you Roger ?

Roger,... it is just not fair...... bring one of your high powered rifles into her court room and shoot up the ceiling and walls. Show this judge how macho men respond to wimin judges.

However, her honor would rightly throw the book at his ass and tell him to bring a toothbrush and tube of toothpaste to his next court appearance. Otherwise, his cell mates would be only too happy to improvise for those toiletries.

Anyway, who the fuck would volunteer to help this dog turd?

He would be in jail. She let him off too easily, I think.

I do have faith he will open his stupid mouth again in the near future. He’s arrogant enough to think he can do whatever he wants.

Next time should be his last.

This is no punishment at all. Basically she issued a warning not to be naughty again and let him walk. Sigh.

From this moment on, Stone may not speak publicly about the investigation or the case or any participants in the investigation or the case.

Is it: From this moment on, Stone may not speak publicly about the investigation or the case or to any participants in the investigation or the case?

Twitter recently banned the main account of Roger Stone, a conservative pundit who has advised President Donald Trump for decades, after he targeted several CNN anchors and contributors with expletive-laden tweets. Stone had frequently used that account to tweet racist, sexist, and violent attacks.

He'll tell someone else what to say and when to say it. No problem.

This was a slap on the wrist. I'm sure Stone is shaking in his boots from fear of being locked up. (not)

He craves the spotlight and will implode/explode trying to hold it in and be incapable of keeping his big, arrogant mouth shut. Only a matter of time before he opens his trap and brays. At that point I hope the judge slaps him with contempt charges and sends him to the slammer.

YEARS of ratfucking! With impunity! Til now anyway. I suspect he’ll slip up again. He can’t help himself! He has NO template - or temperament for any real discretion. Sneaking around and maneuvering behind the scenes and in the shadows for DECADES. And NEVER EVER held to account.

I can’t help but suspect that his kind of calculated weaponized malice is a habit that might be hard to break. When you’ve gotten away with it for as long as he has, and often richly remunerated for it, I think he’ll find it very hard to behave himself - at least for very long.

She was WAY too lenient.

and/or by doing this in step-by step increments (i.e. tighter gagging now as opposed to immediate jail) she automatically punctured any rightwing, future yelps that, "She wasn't fair" when she DOES ultimately send the SOB to jail when he next opens his yap.
