Roger Stone posted an Instagram story Sunday afternoon calling for former CIA Director John Brennan to be hung for treason.
“This psycho must be charged, tried, convicted" the provocateur and Republican operative wrote, below which he placed a photo of Brennan and then added, "and hung for treason,”
The post was removed by Instagram soon after it was posted, with the company saying it "violated our Community Guidelines."
Stone, 66, was arrested at his Florida home on Jan. 25 and charged by special counsel Robert Mueller with lying to Congress, obstructing justice, and witness tampering. He pleaded not guilty and was released on a $250,000 bond. Stone’s trial is set for Nov. 5.
He has come under fire for his social media posts. On another Instagram story, he posted a photo of U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson’s face next to an image of crosshairs. Jackson is the judge in Stone's case. He deleted the post and released a statement denying it “was meant to somehow threaten the Judge or disrespect [the] court.”
In February, Jackson issued a gag order that forbade attorneys for both Mueller and Stone from “making statements to the media or in public settings that pose a substantial likelihood of material prejudice to this case.” She also said Stone is not allowed to speak about the case in the vicinity of the courthouse.
Brennan has been a frequent critic of President Trump and major proponent of Mueller’s investigation, which led to the criminal convictions of other Trump associates, including Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen. He was CIA director under President Barack Obama from 2013 until Trump was sworn into office.

What is this, "Things Marie Antoinette never said?"
All kidding aside, my personal preference would be to see him before a firing squad. Headsman's axe a close second.
communissm has always had a toehold, and the McCarthy witch hunts gave them a "commie race card", like one said " we no longer need a communist Party, we have the Democrat Party
Right
He may be hung, only his wife and doctor can answer that. But yes, he should definitely be hanged.
why only his wife and doctor?
It’s hanged not hung.
Hung is John Holmes.....or me when I’m not being honest with my self
Thrown from a rooftop would be more fitting for these scumbags, also gravity is free.
He is not the only one

Correction: "violated our Communist Guidelines"
lol
Agree, along with Obama and his ilk. Throw in the Clintoons too just to warm up the crowds.
I’m good with it.... as long as it’s just a start.
And use the rest of the treasonousdemonratcommiescumbags as the Pins, Who ever gets Tagged by the Rolling Head is NEXT on the Block. Repeat as necessary.
Hey Stupid Writer.....he was arrested at a PRE-DAWN RAID on his home with DOZENS of ARMORED POLICE!
Ping
And there in lies the problem. Laws are not enforced against the people on the hill, only the lowly We the People are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
TEXAN FOR #TEXIT.
Fine him so much he’ll be broke for the rest of his life. Any money he makes gets snatched away before he gets it just like a guy behind in child support. Let him keep $100/week. He can go live on the streets of San Fran.
No. We do not need to go the politically fraught route of treason.
If laws were broken, persons can be prosecuted, whether or not they are still in office. If regulations were violated, then the agency IG and Congress can publicly condemn those violations and those who committed them (as Congress has an obligation to do in its oversight role), and if a violator is still in office they can be reprimanded or dismissed.
Politically, that is a far as you are likely to get.
But nary a word about those social media posts from celebrities, sports stars, and the entire cabal on the left.
18 U.S. Code § 2381. Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
18 U.S. Code § 2384. Seditious conspiracy
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
The only problem with that though, could the President be considered "the Government of the United States"? It seems to me the people elected Trump for a specific kind of government, and people like Brennan tried to deny the people that by overthrowing Trump but I'm no legal expert on this.
