Roger Stone posts photo of judge next to crosshairs after gag order

His trial is going to be a goddamned CIRCUS. And he's going to make it one.

Which is exactly what the judge is trying to prevent from happening with that gag order. Roger better watch his step. I don't think she's playing.

So rapists are political prisoners now? I must say, that is the greatest spin in the history of politics. LMAO.

But I must ask you this: Why do you believe that Roger Stone is a rapist who worships the Hindu religion? Seems kinda weird to me. Would like any semblance of justification from you on this that any conspiracy theory nut, so wrapped up in tinfoil that he can't move, might take a passing interest in.

"legal trickery"?

I'd love to hear that. How did Mueller trick the clerk's office into sending the case to that particular judge?

These courts typically have a randomized plan of case assignments that takes account of caseload and probable case lengths, geographical location of judge and court in which case was filed, etc. They're designed to prevent judge shopping. At most, they'll perhaps assign some cases more to judges with expertise (ie, complex business litigation vs. habeas). There's no way for a prosecutor to use law to "trick" a case assignment system into giving them a specific judge. You'd have to have corrupt conspiracy between the clerk's office overseeing the actual assignment system, the chief district judge, and the judge who is to receive the case.




Is anyone around Trump not a complete scumbag?

Correct they do but sometimes politically active judges have been known to case shop. I know for a FACT that it happens in the Northern District of Texas from time to time. .

What's his point? That he wants a charge of threatening a Federal judge tacked onto the existing charges? If so, then bravo to him.

It can't be that because he followed up with a groveling apology to the court.

Whoops! I guess his lawyers decided it was a bad move to poke the judge like that and filed an apology with the court tonight:

An attorney for Stone said in a filing in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia that Stone “apologizes to the Court for the improper photograph and comment” and said “Mr. Stone recognizes the impropriety and had it removed.”

...
“A photo of Judge Jackson posted on my Instagram has been misinterpreted. This was a random photo taken from the Internet,” Stone said in a statement posted to Instagram. “Any inference that this was meant to somehow threaten the Judge or disrespect court is categorically false.”

I've never seen judge shopping for political purposes. That's just not how this works. Judges have some specific biases as far as I've seen, but they do not think "ok, I'm a {lean} therefore I want {this side of the case} to win, therefore, I will rule {this way} and give some bull**** reasons".

There are biases against certain parties, for example I've known a number of judges who overrule just about any objection and deny just about any motion by the defense - just so long as there's wiggle room in the caselaw to do so - while giving the prosecutor the kitchen sink, house and a bit of the neighbor's lawn to boot. They may happen to like a defense attorney in a civil case more than the plaintiff's case. One counsel may have clerked for the judge several years ago.


People are people, so probably there are some judges like that. But I've not seen it and I don't smell it in the decisions. Whatever judicial philosophy they develop, it's that philosophy that leads to any detected lean. It does this by definition, since the lean is assigned by politicians and supporters thinking politically. It's not assigned based on some in-depth analysis of their interpretation of caselaw. It's just the media and various sides looking at the holding and saying "well, that describes my political enemies so this judge must be one of them."

At any rate, that has little to do with my point. There's no way Mueller can make a specific judge take a case unless there's some tight conspiracy with a specific federal district court. And that's just silly.

Cosby was and is a rapist. Charles Manson claimed he was a prophet of God. Did you believe him too? :mrgreen:

So that is why the ninth circuit has so many reversals by the SCOTUS. Because they never put their thumb on the scale and make a political ruling instead of a legal ruling. :roll:

Isn't Stone's case in DC. Its notoriously left leaning.

Anyway as I said I Know for a fact that some judges will bypass the random case system to hand pick a high profile case. My wife was a Federal Court Reporter for 35 years and had a ring side seat to the goings on of the court. It happened for sure in the Northern District I would not be surprised at all it happened in other districts too.

Yeah, you have to be a complete idiot to buy that BS. It was intentional, and it's out there, all over the place as intended, and no amount of apologizing or taking it down after it's been posted in 1000 different websites can undo what he did. I saw in another text to a reporter he claimed it was just a "random" photo taken off the internet, but anyone can do the search and find dozens of normal photos without the crosshairs. So that's BS too.

That's just an effort to give his idiot supporters a plausible defense - "hey, he said he's sorry! and took it down! What's the big deal?"
 
The rat-effer may have eff'ed himself.

Yes, I saw that too. I'm skeptical how effective a "I'm sorry, your honor, I didn't know it was wrong to threaten your life" will be, but we'll see.

Yes I'm sorry as well that you chose to make a very public threat towards a sitting federal judge.

Here are your extra charges...

I've seen a couple of lawyers comment that they have never ever had a client who threatened a judge, whether they apologised or not, who didn't do some jail time.

Can Roger Stone be any more stupid. He posted this photo, not only once, but twice on Instagram. He took it down and apologized. Let me tell everyone again, these men - Stone, Manafort, AND Trump are all mobsters. They're arrogant as all hell because they've been getting away with these 'dirty trickster' stupid things for years and feel they're never going to get caught. I hope he ends up in prison for life. Why has Trump surrounded himself with these sleazeball characters all his life?


Roger Stone posts photo of judge next to crosshairs after gag order

Just days after federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson slapped Roger Stone with a gag order, President Trump’s longtime ally attacked her on social media — posted her photo with a fundraising rant and crosshairs next to her head on Instagram.

“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.
Click to expand...



That was incredibly stupid. This is the same judge that is throwing the book at Manaforte.

he deleted, but reposted the image, sans crosshairs, but still, the deed is done and she knows about it.

What a moron. Looks like they will not be sending in the clowns, but they will be sending one of them away, for a long time.

And, for those who do not think he is going to jail, is their anyone that the FBI /Mueller hasn't indicted that beat the rap?
