Posting threatening images of federal judges. Something totally innocent people do.

Yeah, he's going to prison. Hopefully that includes extremely limited contact with the outside world.

Some of the commenters are speculating that Stone did this to get the judge to recuse herself.

Not sure that will fly. But still, "only the best people"!

He may not. Trump can pardon him with impunity after the 2020 election. He may be out on bond until then.

His old business partner, Manafort, already went down & he'll stay down at least until then. If Trump doesn't pardon him it'll be Club Fed for life... and likely for Roger, too.

Probably not. If Berman wants to take it seriously she now has reason to give him some jail time for contempt of Court. Clang! One of those attitude adjustment kinda things.

Well, this is provided Trump isn't reelected in 2020 or is cautioned against doing it later (say, by Republicans who don't want him to torpedo their chances for 2024).

Stone has a Trump brand get out of jail free card in his back pocket and he's being cocky about it.

Maybe too cocky for his own good. The guy is exactly like Trump in the sense that he lies like it's absolutely OK to do so and he just doesn't know when or how to STFU.

Like Ron White said in his stand up routine where upon getting arrested he said: "I had the right to remain silent, but I didn't have the ability".

He seems to have sensed that his bail was ten seconds away from being revoked and has filed an apology.


IMO, too little tool late. If he gets away with it, he'll do it over and over again just for the lol's.

He wants to appear like there's nothing to be afraid of, that he will be exonerated, that he is innocent of all charges. I'll wager though that that feeling of impending doom is snaking it's way up his back and creeping into his psyche right at this very moment if it hasn't already.

Win or lose in 2020 Trump can pardon anybody he pleases w/o repercussion. Even if he wins he's term limited. He's driving the GOP like he stole it, and he did.

And the judge should take that apology and shove it right up his ass.

Seconded.

Frankly, if you sell yourself as an elite media personality and political engineer/scientist you don't get to claim ignorance like this, certainly not when you're on record gleefully admitting to the "dark arts" aspect of American politics. Hell of a thing to do at a time of surging right-wing domestic terrorism. Do we really want to find out if the next MAGA mail bombing campaign will utilize the real thing instead of duds?

Make an example out of this ass Judge!

The part that is scary is that Trump with the GOP collusion has put extreme right wing judges in the courts. We could win this election by numbers but they could go to courts and make America lose it.. unless somehow 5 scotus judges decide against Trump.

Roberts is the new Kennedy in a way, could happen. We only need one judge on the right to value precedent more than partisan agenda, and he's done it twice, three times now? It's a little comforting, but as I don't trust religious republicans in positions of authority for the most part I still have plenty of worries.

Fully support the Dems in addressing what turtle and republicans have done to our Supreme Court. Get rid of Boof Kavanaugh, add 2 more seats, whatever, do it. We have to stop this country regressing.
