Roger Stone invokes gag order in new fundraiser

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone in a fundraising email on Tuesday invoked the gag order he is under as he attempted to raise money for his defense fund.

Stone, who was arrested last month during a pre-dawn FBI raid of his Florida home, wrote in the email that it "may be the last time you hear from me if I am gagged by the Judge."

Judge Amy Berman Jackson on Friday issued a gag order barring Stone, his attorneys and prosecutors from discussing his case in public. Stone's fundraising email was sent Tuesday evening.

In the email, Stone refers to Jackson as an "Obama-appointed Federal Judge" and wrote that the "real reason they want to gag me is so I cannot raise the money necessary to mount a vigorous legal defense."

Jackson earlier this week ordered Stone to appear in court Thursday to explain why the gag order she imposed shouldn't be lifted. The appearance will come after Stone shared and deleted a photo of Jackson on his Instagram page over the weekend, showing Jackson with what appeared to be small crosshairs next to her head.

Stone is not the brightest bulb on the string.

1. The man is looking to set a new standard for Contempt of Court

2. Trump can't pardon him for contempt of court.

3. Is he trying to get his bail revoked???

If so, he's doing great.

4. Not so bright, but he sure has done some damage.

I've seen estimates of his wealth at $ 8 million, $20 million...that's not enough to mount a legal defense? All his "friends" have more than that and they're happy to share with him? The very rich are different from you and me.

5. He's arrogant and thinks he is untouchable

Payback will be a bitch for him.

6. Go directly to prison. Solitary confinment with no privileges

He can read a couple of restricted books, such as Al Franken, Hillary Clinton etc. until he self immolates.

That's the only way he's getting out of a confined space for the next 20-25 years.

8. The next fundraising email might come from the crowbar hotel.

9. Idiot. I expect he'll be jailed after Thursday's hearing.
