Roger Stone to Appear in Court over Instagram Post Showing Judge Next to Crosshairs
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump ally and former adviser Roger Stone is heading back to
court today after he posted an Instagram photo on Monday depicting
federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson with crosshairs next to her head. The
text in the now-deleted post read: "Through legal trickery Deep State
hitman Robert Mueller has guaranteed that my upcoming show trial is
before Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointed Judge who dismissed
the Benghazi charges against Hillary Clinton and incarcerated Paul
Manafort prior to his conviction for any crime. #Fix Is In. Help me
fight for my life at @Stone Defense Fund.com." Stone was indicted last
month as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. He
pleaded not guilty to lying to Congress, witness tampering and
obstruction.
