ROGER STONE ‘TRYING TO PREJUDICE JURY’ WITH ‘BULLSCHIFF’ ADAM SCHIFF POST, RISKS GAG ORDER VIOLATION: LEGAL EXPERTS
BY RAMSEY TOUCHBERRY ON 3/29/19 AT 4:35 PM EDT
Roger Stone is again flirting with danger when it comes to violating his court-imposed gag order, this time for posting an Instagram image featuring a top Democrat whose congressional committee the former Trump political adviser is charged with lying to, legal experts tell Newsweek.
Stone posted an image on Friday depicting House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, a Democrat, along with the portmanteau “BULLSCHIFF.” A caption accompanying the post reads: “In 50 years in American politics, I have never come across a shiftier, more duplicitous con man and charlatan than @repadamschiff. It it’s Schiff, flush it! #maga.”
A federal judge in Washington, D.C., imposed a full gag order on Stone last month, after he posted an Instagram image of her with what appeared to be the crosshairs of a rifle near her head.
"You apparently need clear boundaries, so here they are,” Judge Amy Berman Jackson told Stone. “From this moment on, the defendant may not speak publicly about the investigation or the case or any of the participants in the investigation or the case. Period.”
