Roger Stone won't go to jail for violating a court-imposed gag order, but he does have to stop using social media
Roger Stone won't go to jail for violating a court-imposed gag order, but he does have to stop using social media.
“What am I supposed to do with you?” Jackson asked Stone after ruling he had repeatedly broken her prohibition that he shouldn't be commenting about the case at all. She likened his situation as “more to do with middle school than a court of law.” Tuesday’s updated restrictions, Jackson said, will cover Stone’s use of all the major social media networks, though Twitter already banned him in October 2017 for a series of expletive-laden posts about CNN. Stone is also under a previous gag order talking about his case that still stands.
Jackson also read aloud a Stone Instagram post from May, in which he took issue with a POLITICO story about her decision to see unredacted portions of Mueller's final report. The post called out the article as incorrect "because they are biased elitist snot-nosed fake news shitheads who's specialty is distortion by omitting key facts to create a false narrative."
"I think you should let this hearing speak for itself," Rogow added, while also promising to work with Stone on all of his subsequent social media posts to make sure they don't violate any limits. Jackson opened Tuesday’s hearing by focusing on a separate motion from Stone’s attorneys. That filing is seeking to toss out evidence collected under search warrants that Stone's attorneys say are flawed because they state WikiLeaks obtained stolen Democratic emails during the 2016 presidential campaign from Russia. Stone's team says the U.S. government has never shown definitive proof of Kremlin finger pints.
