Mr. Stone stepped on too many toes.

Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson on Thursday dramatically restricted Roger Stone's ability to speak publicly about his case after he published an Instagram post with what appeared to be the crosshairs of a gun drawn behind her head.
From this moment on, Stone may not speak publicly about the investigation or the case or any participants in the investigation or the case.
"Period," Jackson adds.
Jackson said Stone could issue no statements on the radio, no press releases, no blogs, no media interviews, no Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Snapchat posts and no statements can be made on his behalf by spokespersons, family members or even "many volunteers," Jackson said.
"This is not baseball," she added. "There will not be a third chance."

Mr. Stone stepped on too many toes.
Hmm, can he play charades publicly about the case? Maybe do an interpretive dance number? Paint a picture?
The black-robed 0bama clown should get her own gag order.
Is the unconstitutional judge going to pay his legal fees, since he can no longer make a living because of her?
That seems a bit crazy. Stone has not been found guilty of anything and yet has his first amendment right revoked by an obama appointed hack judge. Its okay for the government to bankrupt you with endless legal problems but its not okay to post a pic on Instagram in an effort to raise money.
“oh no she’s standing in front of something that looks like crosshairs” who cares.
“no statements can be made on his behalf by spokespersons, family members or even “many volunteers,” Jackson said.”
Wonder if that means that Trump cannot tweet about this without breaking the law?
In this day of personal smears and very Media trials, an American defendent is not allow to speak in his own defense? When did we become the Soviet Union? What goes on inside Judge Jackson’s courtroom is fore-ordained.

That’s the photo this is all about? THAT? Good grief. If this is not a war on the constitution and American’s I’ve no idea what to call it.
Fox News hosts such as Hannity, Tucker and Ingrahm would not fall under any of these categories of people who cannot speak for Stone. Plus, I would love to see the judge try and tell these hosts that they are not allowed to discuss the Stone case. It would lead to one hell of a first amendment lawsuit.
This so called “judge” needs to go hiking in Tunisia.
So much for free speech.

You got there first. Right.
I could say Stone is thankful to live in our country instead of one where- - - -
militaristic government thugs break into his home and roust him and trash all his mementos and files
and strongarm him with a dozen armored officers training weapons on him.
And use illegally wiretapped and monitored texts, phone calls, emails, and statements recorded on the other side of walls by authorities.
And where his constitutional rights and protections are laughed at and stepped on under the shoes of ruthless ambitious prosecutors out to punish him for helping their political opponent Trump.
And chill the desire of anyone who might go to work for the Trump government.
Yes, Roger Stone is lucky to be living in a “free” country.
Asking for freedom of speech is naively utopian, though.
By the letter of her order, "many volunteers" -- which would include people like Hannity, Tucker, and Ingrahm -- could trip the wire she laid.
It's very non-specific...
...and I think purposely so.
Infowars and Newswars has scrubbed virtually every Roger Stone article.
Stone can speak as freely as he likes.
He and his lawyers came begging for him not to be incarcerated for his alleged crimes and in exchange agreed to certain conditions.
That's why his lawyers made him put out that groveling apology when he posted that Instagram.
If he wants to renounce that agreement no one will care, but he'll be able to say whatever he wants from behind bars.
Totally up to him.
The judge is a corrupt Marxist insect, to be sure, but....is Roger Stone some kind of RETARD?
Stone can speak as freely as he likes....

Yes, I guess I exaggerate here when I proclaim I have no freedom of speech.
I think I should pipe down.
Also the on the job or under court rules or various other limited arenas are not really “no freedom of speech”—just limits. Someone repeated the line recently: You can have freedom of speech if you don’t mind losing your job.
The non-hero Abbie Hoffman said he didn’t want the freedom to yell “fire” in a crowded theater. He wanted the freedom to yell “theatre” in a crowded fire.
