"...I will find it necessary to adjust your enviroment..." -Judge Amy Berman Jackson

Heh, heh.

I heard those stark words a couple of days ago from a radio report on the Roger Stone hearing, and finally had time to look up a transcript of it. Holy Cow, the judge pretty much read Stone and his attorneys the riot act and was very clear as to the consequences if Stone or anyone on his behalf decide to start blabbing about the upcoming trial.

The transcript is a long read but worth it to see Roger Stone and counsel squirming under some tough questioning. It was a delight to imagine being there listening in.

transcript here:

Judge Jackson has his balls in her vice grip and she will squeeze until Stone passes out from excrutiating pain.

(because if they move the offspring is frozen) through the depths of the Antarctic storms to keep the egg safe till mommy returns from,

well, wherever mommy penguins go when they leave hubby in charge of the future family. Months long spa visits? Las Vegas?

Anyway, I know what you meant, but penguin males are crazy tough.

Stone not so much.

The transcript is quite interesting so far. And I'm only on page 9 pf 54.

He's exhausted his "little" savings. I hope the government will be kind and ease his emotionally stressed soul and give him a roof over his head and 3 meals a day. For a long, long time.

I've seen it on Judge Judy and clips of trials where the judge hasn't been amused. Then they're doubly flustered trying to apologize for calling the woman judge, "Sir."
