A formal apology from a scared Roger Stone filed in court this evening

[kpete]

This is a lie. He claims he had “no intention of disrespecting the Court.” Stone’s whole point was to denigrate the judge and the process. He’s only apologizing because he’s scared.

Stone seems to recognize how much trouble he got himself into by attacking the judge in his case on Instagram.

1. I'd prefer red-hot metal strips under my fingernails rather than

have Roger Stone as a client.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

2. He said the inclusion of the cross-hair target was "inadvertent."

Bullshit. When has Stone ever done anything "inadvertent" when it came to targeting someone he wanted to smear ?

3. His attorney filed this after having been

resuscitated by EMT after viewing his psycho client’s attack on the judge residing over his case.

4. You can't take anything at face value.

First, he's too arrogant and cocky to be scared, but he will hide behind such a visual because it's a disarming tactic.

Second, this was no accident, no inadvertent nothing, he accomplished two very important things today:

He put the judge's face up in lights, now she can be identified, and the target reticle made it plain as day that she is fair game for whomever on the far right wants to take the initiative and go after her.

She is in extreme danger now.

7. Exactly...

Every bit, even this bs apology is orchestrated

[Fullduplexxx]

5. Probably an attempt to turn trump's rabid animals on the judge

Get them to flood her with death threats

[dlk]

6. Stone is Attempting to Play Everyone-His Hubris Will Be His Downfall

Threatening a federal judge is very serious. I doubt Stone will receive a take-back.

[Volaris]

9. And I expect this judge to respond appropriately.

Rogers about to have a bad week, I suspect.

8. I don't think he's scared, I think his attorneys are. I can imagine them screaming at him.

An out-of-control client who thinks he’s smarter than everybody else is frightening if you’re trying to defend him. I bet Stone imagined he could get rid of the judge this way. Clients have all kinds of crazy ideas about how to do things. You and your years of experience? Pffff.

11. He is a scared little piece of shit asshole who covers his fear by hurting every single

person around him on a daily basis.

I am so fucking sick and tired of these no good fucking assholes getting away with thousands of things that if it were any Dem ONE of these fucking things and they are in jail.

[Blue Owl]

10. Sorry Roger you can't unthrow a thrown stone
