A federal judge reprimanded Roger Stone on Tuesday over possible violations of a court-imposed gag order that could ultimately land him in jail. She also gave the longtime associate of President Donald Trump a week to explain why the re-release of a book he wrote critical of the Russia investigation wasn’t previously disclosed.
Berman on Tuesday slammed Stone for not disclosing the re-release in earlier court appearances and even suggested in a footnote that Stone was using court filings to “generate additional publicity for the book.
Even so, she said, Stone had “multiple opportunities to bring his then-existing plan to disseminate his views about the Special Counsel to the Court’s attention” and she pointed out that Stone’s gag order had been crafted with the input of his lawyers.

The blatant disregard for the rule of law cannot go unpunished - this is the case for Stone and POTUS justice Accountability
Seems like a reasonable thing for the judge to do, and yet, the author makes a point of noting that the judge is an Obama appointee. Is the subtext here that the judge might be nothing more than a political hack?
Is that his real face?
