Roger Stone to Appear in Court over Instagram Post Showing Judge Next to Crosshairs

HeadlineFeb 21, 2019

President Trump ally and former adviser Roger Stone is heading back to court today after he posted an Instagram photo on Monday depicting federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson with crosshairs next to her head. The text in the now-deleted post read: “Through legal trickery Deep State hitman Robert Mueller has guaranteed that my upcoming show trial is before Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointed Judge who dismissed the Benghazi charges against Hillary Clinton and incarcerated Paul Manafort prior to his conviction for any crime. #FixIsIn. Help me fight for my life at @StoneDefenseFund.com.” Stone was indicted last month as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. He pleaded not guilty to lying to Congress, witness tampering and obstruction.
