Roger Stone on Monday asked an appeals court to overturn what he described as a “total speech ban” imposed by the trial judge on him and his family ahead of his November trial.
Roger Stone has never been able to exercise self-control and now he’s paying for his deficiencies. The judge gave him enough rope and now he’s hanging himself.
Roger Stone just gets funnier and funnier every day.
Apparently, he adores the attention of being labeled an idiot.
Stone weaponizes his weirdness. The best defense for us is calm, added to a sense of boredom (which, for me, is already the case).
It is refreshing to NOT hear more lies in this overcrowded post-truth Trumpistan! Keep mendacious Stone et al gagged!
Perhaps instead of whining about having his speech “totally banned,” Stone should just be happy that is the only freedom he is currently being denied.
All I see when I look at Stone is the kid who won’t stop mouthing off to the cop who’s lecturing your gang about being somewhere they shouldn’t. He’s about to let you off with a warning, and this one kid keeps arguing about it and you could cheerfully strangle him on the spot because he’s going to get everyone taken in and ticketed if he doesn’t shut his god-damn mouth in the next three seconds.
It’s a sad day when Roger Stone’s brother-in-law can’t threaten a Federal judge’s life without getting some sort of damned guff over it.
How about we have his mouth wired shut?
I had a friend like that. And I know just what you mean…
In the legal system gag orders exist for a reason. Stone violates a gag order and when caught he plays the “free speech” victim. Typical Trumpian logic.
Just like some people just want to watch the world burn, some people just can’t shut up.
If the gag order is a deal between he and the court, wouldn’t he have had to agree to it in the first place? Additionally, if he has an issue with it now, couldn’t he or the judge just rescind the deal, and allow stone to wait out his trial in prison?
I mean, it’s simple, right? Yes, officer, no officer, it won’t happen again, officer, and so forth. Except you suddenly realize this one kid doesn’t get that.
But that requires true critical thinking using verifiable facts, something sorely lacking here.
You’re right. He should have already been locked up awaiting trial. He’s already had 3 strikes, hasn’t he? This judge has bent over backwards to accommodate his strange pique towards entitlement. The appeals court should deny taking on any consideration of his complaint and just let the trial judge handle the situation as she sees fit. She’s the one that is most familiar with all the ways he’s tried to defy her orders. It’ll be a sorry day should they afford him the luxury of defying a court order when the truth is the trial judge has given him so much leeway to this point, and the irony is, she did it to avoid any later appeal on his case.
It is perhaps notable that Bruce Rogow was the only member of Stone’s legal team who is listed as counsel here. I’m guessing everyone else thought it was a bad idea.
Let him dig his own grave, figuratively speaking. He surely will.
Same here. *And we all started to walk away from him on the Group W bench.
Stone is addicted to the sound of his own voice. He needs money, desperately. He is trying to get attention but no one gives a damn.
