Roger Stone asks judge for forgiveness
By Lydia Wheeler - 02/21/19 03:43 PM EST
Roger Stone on Thursday begged the federal judge overseeing his case to give him a second chance after he posted an inflammatory photo of her to his Instagram account over the weekend.
"I abused the order for which I'm heartfully sorry," Stone told U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson after he took the stand to defend himself in court on Thursday.
"I'm kicking myself over my own stupidity."
Berman Jackson called Thursday's hearing to decide if she should change Stone’s conditions of release or impose harsher restrictions on his ability to talk to the press after he posted a headshot of her with what appeared to be the crosshairs of a rifle scope in the background.
The photo was accompanied by a critique of Berman Jackson.

So much for the Stone rule of ‘admit nothing, deny everything, launch counterattack.’

I think there is enough "gagging" to go around.
