ICYMI U.S. judge bars Roger Stone from Instagram, Twitter and Facebook pending trial, rebuking longtime Trump advisor and GOP operative for resorting to “middle-school” behavior online that could prejudice future jurors. washingtonpost.com/local/legal-is…
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman read aloud months of Stone’s postings, saying, "Once again I am wrestling with behavior that has more to do with middle school than a court of law,” adding, whether the problem is “you can’t follow orders, or won’t, I need to help you out.”
Jackson cited a March 29 posting by Stone using scatological terms to mock House InteL Committee Chair Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif), and a June 2 message in which Stone called John O. Brennan, CIA director at the time of the election, a “psycho” who “must be ... hung for treason.”
With Stone sitting at a defense table in a light blue suit with arms tightly folded, Jackson also cited a Feb. 27 text by Stone to a BuzzFeed reporter calling a witness in the Mueller probe a liar, denying the truthfulness of House testimony by former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
