ROGER DE-STONED send tweet https://t.co/wEN8cw2Umd
— Ryan J. Reilly (@ryanjreilly) February 21, 2019
Expert observers give it a week, allowing for scheduling delays. Because, paraphrasing comedian Ron White, Stone has the right to remain silent, but does he have the ability?
… At a hearing on Thursday, Stone took the witness stand to apologize for his Instagram post that took aim at Amy Berman Jackson, the federal judge assigned to his case.
Donald Trump’s former confidant suggested he was broke and stressed, which led him to post the photo on Monday and a rant that called his case a “fix” and special counsel Robert Mueller a “Deep State hitman.”
“How hard was it to come up with a photograph that doesn’t have crosshairs in the corner?” Jackson asked…
During the hearing, Stone deflected blame for the post at every opportunity. He said that he didn’t believe the image he posted next to Jackson’s head was crosshairs. He also named Gateway Pundit reporter Jacob Engels as his aide, claiming that Engels may have had his phone at some point.
“My house is like a headquarters. I have many volunteers,” he said, naming Engels and Proud Boys street gang leader Enrique Tarrio among his volunteers. “I’m sorry I don’t recall the others.”…
Buzzfeed:
Stone will remain free pending his trial, but US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson warned that any violation of her new gag order would land Stone behind bars. Stone was getting a second chance, the judge said, but unlike in baseball, there would not be a third one. Stone will be allowed to solicit donations for his legal defense fund and assert that he’s innocent, but that’s it, the judge said…
The judge issued the new gag order after Stone took the stand Thursday to apologize for the post and defend himself. He repeatedly used the words “stupid” and “egregious” to describe his decision to post the photo and said it was the result of the “extreme stress” he was under. But he also continued to insist he didn’t see the image in the photo as crosshairs at the time he posted it — he said it was the logo of an organization that had posted the image, and he thought it was an occult or Celtic symbol…
Jackson asked Stone if anyone was paying him to talk about his case. He said no, but that he was struggling to make money for basic living expenses, noting he couldn’t tap his legal defense fund for that. The judge noted that Stone had told the pretrial services office he was earning $47,000 per month.The judge also noted that Stone had been accused of threatening witnesses in the case against him, but she said the recent events indicated that those pending charges hadn’t “chastened” him from going on the attack.
“What concerns me is the fact that he chose to use his public platform and chose to express himself in a manner that can incite others that feel less constrained,” the judge said, adding that one didn’t need to look beyond today’s headlines to know that was a problem. Multiple news outlets have reported since last night about allegations that a coast guard officer was plotting a white supremacist terror attack…
Jackson said Stone couldn’t seem to keep the narrative of what happened straight, and that as someone whose life’s work involved communications, Stone understood the power of words and symbols.
“There is nothing ambiguous about crosshairs,” she said….
If you’re Roger Stone, being told you can’t talk to the media is probably a worse punishment than being sent to jail. https://t.co/7KBiR8cXK3

He needs to be given enough rope to hang himself. It’s an inherent problem with dealing with politically sensitive cases. If she just shuts him down, all his friends will scream bloody murder, and he’ll whine about it on appeal.

I am disgusted by Stone’s claim that he thought the crosshairs were a Celtic cross or occult symbol or something. It is impossible to go to the sites where that photo came from and see the graphic as anything but targeting the subject. Someone can claim that this is only metaphorical, not an invitation to shoot, but they are crosshairs and nothing else. The interrelated sites carrying the photo in question are filthy Russian troll sewers with every tall tail and conspiracy theory known to politics. This whole episode creeps me out a little more than it might otherwise because I knew Judge Jackson very slightly as a student long ago, and I knew Judge Joan Lefkow slightly as a fellow parent at my son’s school many years later. She was the federal judge in Chicago who was threatened by a white nationalist and whose husband and mother were later murdered by a different litigant. The growing climate of violent political rhetoric has real consequences.
Roger Moore
@Yarrow:
And if he does manage to keep his trap shut, then he didn’t actually need to be in jail in the first place. Not to be a scold, but Stone’s case is being handled the right way. If there’s a problem, it’s that people who aren’t well connected are treated too harshly, not that Stone is being treated too leniently.

@debbie:
As long as Mueller’s report is given to Congress, some version of it (possibly redacted to protect sources and methods) will be released to the public. Each House publishes its own record, and members can add things like the Mueller report to it. Anything added to the Congressional Record will be published unless the House whose record it is makes a deliberate decision to keep it secret. As long as the House Democrats want the report to be published, there’s nothing the Republicans can do to stop them.

Grassley would LOVE that kind of report.

@plato: I listened to the beginning of the Snooze Hour tonight, and this didn’t even make it into their news summary. The top story: Smollett.
I’m not saying that it’s not a significant story (if it’s true, it’s almost worse than if he had actually been attacked because his lies will make law enforcement even more wary or dismissive of actual victims), but the Secretary of Labor being guilty of protecting the architect and ringleader of an international sex trafficking ring seems at least as significant.
Kay
The Epstein opinion is so sad. At every turn, prosecutors were protecting Epstein. They really betrayed those girls.
They’re way more worried about the full scope of Epstein’s crimes being covered by the press than they are about the 14 year old girls he victimized. It’s just appalling.
33 pages of federal prosecutors working as hard as they can with Epstein’s lawyers, to protect Epstein. It sickens me how they repeatedly refer to “the girls” – not in the context of victims but instead in the context of how the girls might get in the way of this shitty, corrupt, joke of a deal they’re crafting per Epstein’s lawyers instructions.
Roger Moore
@Yarrow:
As I understand it, Farrow is likely to be in the clear. Reporters are allowed to accept information from people who broke the law to get it; they just aren’t allowed to ask people to break the law to get them that information. From what you posted there, it sounds as if Fry accessed the information before he contacted Farrow, so it’s hard to see how Farrow could be guilty of soliciting his illegal behavior.

So incredibly eager to assist Mr. Epstein. God forbid he should be inconvenienced even slightly by “press coverage” relating to the fact that he was trafficking 14 year old girls for a decade.
The FBI would send the girls letters, telling them to “be patient”, that the investigation and prosecution were proceeding, and they had already made the non prosecution agreement.
