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.

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

(218 posts)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.

(14,144 posts)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.

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

(10,491 posts)Is there a trial date yet? I can't imagine him going a week without being able to speak about this, let alone months.

(2,132 posts)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. Hes arrogant enough to think he can do whatever he wants.
Next time should be his last.

(3,283 posts)This is no punishment at all. Basically she issued a warning not to be naughty again and let him walk. Sigh.

(108,976 posts)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.
Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)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)

(35,437 posts)Probably had an erection when the judge read the order.
Golden Raisin
(4,608 posts)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.
calimary
(81,220 posts)YEARS of ratfucking! With impunity! Til now anyway. I suspect hell slip up again. He cant 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 cant help but suspect that his kind of calculated weaponized malice is a habit that might be hard to break. When youve gotten away with it for as long as he has, and often richly remunerated for it, I think hell find it very hard to behave himself - at least for very long.
She was WAY too lenient.
Golden Raisin
(4,608 posts)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.
