Roger Stone was always going to go out like this
Roger Stone learned on Friday that Robert Mueller has the evidence to easily send him to prison for the rest of his life. Today, in what is probably not a coincidence, Stone made an Instagram post threatening the physical well being of the judge in his case. There’s a strong chance this stunt will get his bail revoked, and if this one doesn’t, his next out of control stunt will. You see, Stone was always going to go out like this.
I have some first hand experience with the guy, thanks to the fact that I’ve been covering his role in the Trump-Russia scandal from the start. Back when Roger Stone still had a Twitter account, he repeatedly used it to call me “fake news.” Okay, fine. This was all a game to him. Then he made vicious sexist threats against multiple female pundits, and got himself banned from Twitter entirely, because he didn’t understand that this wasn’t a game.
That’s when Roger Stone shifted his focus to Instagram, because it was all he had left. At one point he posted a cartoon image that appeared to depict him preparing to murder Robert Mueller. When I wrote about it, he called me a “piece of human excrement” in response.
Again, Roger Stone can hurl whatever insults he wants at me. But the guy doesn’t understand where the line is. It’s why no one is surprised that he conspired with Russian government hackers and sloppily left behind an evidence trail, or that he’s threatening violence against the judge now that he’s learned he’s going down anyway. Stone still thinks this is all a game – and he’s losing everything.
