Judge Amy Berman Jackson is basically accusing Roger Stone of using court filings to promote his forthcoming book, and she's not pleased.
Judge Jackson isn't ordering Stone not to sell his book, but she pretty strongly suggests that doing so would violate the gag order in his case: "He may no longer share his views on these particular subjects."
Among the things that seem to have made Judge Jackson mad: Stone's lawyers were asking for clarification of an order they had essentially endorsed.
This is not the sort of thing you'd want to see a federal judge ask of you ->
Judge warns Roger Stone that his new book could violate a gag order. 'He may no longer share his views.'

After a fourth day of testimony before Congress, Michael Cohen says he "will continue to cooperate to the fullest extent of my capabilities."
Today was supposed to be the day Cohen reported to federal prison. Instead, he spent it giving Congress documents and testimony about his former boss, President Trump.
Rep. Adam Schiff, the intelligence committee's chairman, says Cohen "provided important testimony and materials relevant to the core of our probe and that will allow us to advance our investigation substantially." He didn't elaborate.

This is a remarkable interview. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo won't say whether he believes Kim Jong Un knew about the harsh treatment that led to Otto Warmbier's death.
usatoday.com/story/news/wor…
Pompeo appeared to learn of North Korea's diplomatic response to the halted summit during the interview. His first reaction was to tell the reporter: "Don't say things that aren't true." She showed him the quote from Ri Yong Ho.
And Pompeo said he didn't think the president's praise for despots undercut the United States' commitment to human rights.

DOJ says in a new court filing that there are still some portions of James Comey’s memos whose disclosure would “interfere with the pending investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.”
DOJ says "there is no evidence that the FBI is solely (or even) concerned with allowing President Trump" or his representatives access to the information it says must remain secret.
An FBI official said in a declaration dated yesterday that some of its reasons for wanting the information to remain secret must also be kept secret, because they would reveal "the focus and scope" of Mueller's probe and "if disclosed now" might harm that investigation.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson: "This was a deliberate action. Roger Stone could not even keep his story straight on the stand ... thank you but the apology rings quite hollow.”
Judge says if Stone were released right now under current restrictions, he would be a “danger” to the public.
Judge said: "Roger Stone fully understands the power of words and the power of symbols. There's nothing ambiguous about crosshairs."

Roger Stone is now seated at the defense table for a hearing on his Instagram post.
“Live tweeting a hearing on an Instagram post made by President Donald Trump’s associate” is not a sentence that would've make much sense in 2005. “Roger Stone could go to jail,” on the other hand...
U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson is at the bench. The Instagram post has been marked as Exhibit 1.

Amy Berman Jackson, the judge in Roger Stone case, was also judge in Marie Colvin case in which plaintiffs sued Syrian government. Which had other pressing business e.g. fighting AlQaeda and ISIS and didnt defend US lawfare. Her reasoning on evidence will please Mueller thugs
2/ Colvin died in a rocket attack on insurgent zone Baba Amr, an area in Homs. The plaintiffs claimed that this was a targeted assassination of Colvin, rather than an unfortunate war incident. For an articulate argument against plaintiff's theory in 2016 joshualandis.com/blog/marie-col…
3/ however, rather than hearing evidence, Judge Amy ruled that plaintiffs’ brief was so comprehensive that an evidentiary hearing, in which a judge hears testimony and documentary evidence from both sides can be reviewed, was not necessary

Judge grills Mueller team on claim Manafort lied

foxnews.com/politics/judge…
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson repeatedly and bluntly pressed prosecutors to explain why Manafort's misstatements, including some that he corrected voluntarily, should affect his upcoming sentencing.
The judge, who is also handling the ongoing criminal case against Trump associate Roger Stone, openly wondered whether prosecutors had bombarded Manafort with a series of difficult and irrelevant questions during the roughly 50 hours of interviews that followed his plea deal.

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"

Judge Amy Berman Jackson has scheduled Paul Manafort's arraignment on the superseding indictment for Friday at 10 -- at the same time as the hearing on Mueller's motion to revoke his bail. /1
/2 Normally, at the arraignment on a superseding indictment like this one, for a person who was already charged and on bail, the arraignment would involve pleading not guilty and sorting out whether, and how, the new charge impacts bail status.
/3 Recall that Mueller already asked Judge Berman Jackson to revoke Manafort's bail based on the same obstruction allegations that form the basis for the superseding indictment. The standard at that hearing does not favor Manafort:
