The federal judge overseeing former Trump adviser Roger Stone's criminal trial signaled Tuesday that she might revoke his bail, criticizing him and his lawyers for failing to tell her when she issued a gag order that his latest book – which includes slashing commentary about Special Counsel Robert Mueller – was already on sale.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson also wrote in a signed order that she believes Stone's lawyers misled her last week about the timing of the book's release as a means to generate publicity for it.
And regardless of when the book first went on sale, she wrote Tuesday, Stone 'may no longer share his views on these particular subjects with the world.'
Jackson ruled on February 21 that Stone would be permitted to raise money for his defense, and to proclaim his innocence, but otherwise forbade him from making any public comments about his trial or the special counsel probe that led to his criminal charges of lying to investigators, witness tampering and obstruction of justice.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller wrote Jackson on Monday to alert her that a new introduction Stone wrote to accompany his book, titled 'The Myth of Russia Collusion,' was available to the public on Amazon com.
In it, Stone complains that 'Mr. Mueller may frame me for some bogus charge in order to silence me or induce me to testify against the president.'

And then she should be impeached...
Just wow...
This broad knows a she went too far with Manafort.
Go Aftervthe publisher next?
Also, pretrial publicity influencing a trial has historically been a tactic courts have been trying to prevent for the prosecution.
The defendant has always been much more free to talk about their own case. Are they worried Stone would appeal later and argue that HE himself created an unfair environment in his own case?
This psycho judge is way out of line and needs her leash yanked hard.
Stone has written many books, this is right in with the topics he writes about. This is pure first amendment.
Then she will require a complete list of everyone that bought the book so they can be eliminated from potential jurors, anyone that has access to InfoWars, anyone that watched a Infowars Youtube video, on and on...
Proglibs have lost their minds.
.
Is Stone’s Publisher going to be ordered by the Judge to Recall all the Books that were already sold too?
The so called Judge is out of her F’n mind.
So: because I’m a Leftist hack, judge, I have the power to control every aspect of a person’s life, up to and including their ability to make a living and pay the bills.
Violating his 1st Amendment rights.
And just take the entire, second sentence of the Declaration of Independence and throw into a shredder.
I thought she deals with Manafort next week. Ellis (the other judge) was the one that dealt with Manafort.
Impeached? I think that’s a little light, as far as punishment goes.
But, damn near every thing about this case wreaks of desperation on the part of the Left.
And "criticizing him and his lawyers for failing to tell her when she issued a gag order that his latest book – which includes slashing commentary about Special Counsel Robert Mueller – was already on sale."
You know, the fact was out there in the open for anyone to raise, and if Special Counsel Mueller cared about the issue he could have raised it.
Essentially she is arguing that Stone’s attorneys should help in the effort to prosecute him.
What, this? "...it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
Totally unnecessary. We have this leftist hack judge looking after our safety and happiness as is her power as a black robed tyrant.
terrified that truth will be known
She is a very biased liberal hack, which is why all mueller’s cases go before her. The courts are packed with biased liberal judges who could care less what the laws or constitution says.

We are up a certain type of creek without a paddle.
Who are 90% of our judges ?
Liberal teachings in K-12, then leftist indoctrination in college, then socialist tilted law school then become ultra left judges who used to be lawyers and were then on the list of people no one knows on every ballot, or just appointed as a political hack.
That is our justice system.
Nazi’s on parade.
This whole witch hunt against Trump reminds me of the Demi Moore, Michel Douglas movie Disclosure. Demi Moore sets up Douglas to take the fall to cover up her misdoings. She was very sly and thorough. Good movie.
However this crap with Stone is not a movie. I truly think all this mess is to protect the 0bammy. I sure wish Trump would start releasing the FISA documents.
Fairly sure stone can’t tell the publisher to stop.
