This courtroom sketch shows Roger Stone, a former political advisor to Donald Trump, speaking with U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson during a hearing in February.
He first angered the judge last month with an inflammatory Instagram post that included a crosshairs symbol next to her head. In response,and barred Stone from saying almost anything in public about the case. An exasperated Jackson demanded more information about the book, and Stone’s lawyers asked her forgiveness in a court filing on Monday.
There could also be trouble over another Instagram post highlighted by prosecutors working for Mueller and the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, who are jointly handling the case. In their latest court filing, Stone's lawyers submitted emails about his book, which was originally called “The Making of the President 2016.”
On Jan. 13, Stone emailed Tony Lyons of Skyhorse Publishing to say he was putting “the final touches” on the introduction and it's “substantially longer and better than the draft sent to me by your folks.”
I don’t understand why Stone is not in jail now.
Stone appeared to get a reprieve when he returned to Jackson’s courtroom for a status conference. There were no fireworks over whether he had violated her gag order with the release of his book. Jackson set a trial date of Nov. 5.
Oh NO! Is she going to sentence him to 48 months instead of 47?
He knows he can get away with it just like his best buddy.
Should have been jailed in last hearing
“Donald Trump is due back in federal court to face U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who is overseeing his case and appears to be running out of patience with him.” This would be a much better headline.
