Judge orders Stone to appear in court after he shared photo of her with crosshairs
By Lydia Wheeler - 02/19/19 10:40 AM EST

The federal judge overseeing Roger Stone's criminal case in Washington, D.C., has ordered him to appear in court on Thursday to explain why the gag order she issued last week and his condition of release shouldn't be modified.

The order comes after Stone, an informal adviser of President Trump, shared and quickly deleted a photo of Judge Amy Berman Jackson on his Instagram account over the weekend with what appeared to be small crosshairs next to her head.

Text accompanying the photograph criticized Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee, for her prior rulings.

“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 [sic] Hillary Clinton and incarcerated Paul Manafort prior to his conviction for any crime. #fixisin Help me fight for my life at @StoneDefenseFund.com,” the post read.

Sanguine:
Stone knows they're gunning for him, so he posts a very provocative tweet about the judge who is in charge of his case? 

edpc:
Stone considers himself untouchable. He has existed for decades on the dark periphery and underbelly of politics, engaging in activities such as being a bag man for Roy Cohn. Since he’s been able to do that without consequence, he is and always will be his own worst enemy.

He must know he really screwed up. By issuing his apology, he’s violated one of his own rules: Admit nothing, deny everything, launch counterattack.
