Judge hammers Roger Stone for attacking her with unhinged Instagram post

Eric W. Dolan 21 FEB 2019 AT 15:00 ET

Stone apologized to the judge at a hearing on Thursday.

“I believe I abused the order for which I am sorry,” he said. “I am kicking myself over my own stupidity. I offer no excuse for it, no justification. It was the outgrowth of a lapse in judgement.”

“I let myself down, my family down, my attorneys down,” Stone added. “It was a momentary lapse of judgement.”


But Jackson grilled Stone over his behavior. She asked Stone how hard it would have been to find a picture of her that did not include crosshairs.

Stone insisted that he thought the symbol was the logo of an organization and an occult symbol.

Jackson then asked why he continued to talk publicly about the Instagram post after it had been taken down.

Stone struggled to explain where he found the image and how it got posted onto his Instagram page. He suggested one of his volunteers may have found it.

about doing dirty work for him in the future, because Stone has made it clear he's willing to throw anyone under the bus to save his own sorry ass.
