So. Roger Stone posted a charming little meme to his Instagram, which featured the judge in his trial in the crosshairs.

He deleted it shortly thereafter, possibly because he realized that threatening a judge is not smart, more probably because his lawyer had a damn heart attack and shrieked at him.

Needless to say, the judge didn't find this the least bit amusing, and has called him into court to explain his shenanigans.

The public statements he's made are along the lines of "It was a joke in poor taste."

I am watching this with rapt attention to see how quickly he's sent to prison, because threatening a judge in a case like this? No bueno.

I am honestly surprised his Lawyer hasn't filed a motion to withdraw by now.

The funny/sad thing is, I think this throws out any hope of a plea deal short of one massively stacked against him.

You don't threaten a judge and then get off with a slap on the wrist.

You don't threaten a judge. Period. Doing so publicly is putting your ass on a platter.

And that's just assuming that this is the ONLY thing that comes of it. God help him if one of Trump's groupies takes it as a call to action and does something stupid.
