I expect the judge to institute a full gag order and maybe actually make him pay his bail money but that's about it.

He cannot mention the case in any way, shape or form. He CAN ask for lawyer money, but not mention what it is for.

For all intents and purposes, he cannot keep his name before the public about the case.

Judge knows Stone has a hard time keeping his ego and mouth quiet, so next stop will be jail.

t will only encourage others to do the same thing or worse, plus he'll escalate it if he remains free. Will this President then start attacking her , and use vague threats by inciting others? Wouldn't be surprised with this illegitimate president. He likes threatening others , especially judges.

I think Stone tried to Pizzagate her with that dog whistle to his supporters. That's why he put the cross hairs on it.

Fascist red meat for the deplorable base.

Federal judges, in general, are much less vindictive than posters on DU.

He did not violate the current release conditions, and the posting is objectively vague enough that the imputed intent is not at all a slam dunk.

Feel free to post the amount you would like to bet on the outcome.

This is an invitation for the judge to hand Stone an appealable issue.

How many people are you, by the way?

As usual the non-lawyers on DU are far quicker to assume the outcome of a legal proceeding than those with actual courtroom experience.

Can you imagine being cuffed, live on television. No throwing your hand in the air making the 'V' sign this time. Wondering, did he leave the gold and Rolex at home?

and started laughing. He said stuff like he was stressed, his dog ate his homework, he couldn't find his favorite tie, his pointy head needed sharpening, his wife burned the toast, there is a full moon, he ate anchovies on his pizza and had a reaction, etc. The list of his "woe is me" defense was hysterical.

To the Trumpians is nothing but privilege

The judge thinks she will avoid backlash for setting him free

She won't
