Judge doesn’t throw Roger Stone in jail, instead hands him an even worse punishment

Judge Amy Berman Jackson decided not to revoke Roger Stone’s bail today and send him to jail. But she instead handed Stone what, for him, is an even worse punishment: she’s made him irrelevant for the rest of his life.

[ ... ]

This means that Roger Stone, ever the publicity hound, is now irrelevant. No more provocative Instagram posts. No more interviews. No more Infowars appearances. He’s finished. He can still go home and go out to dinner and such, but we all know his nature, and he’ll quickly incriminate himself in a manner which will ensure his conviction. He’ll also quickly violate this full gag order, meaning he’ll go to jail. This is Roger Stone’s worst nightmare.

1. Never thought of it that way!

Ha! You are right.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

6. was disappointed ...

That Palmer Report article gave me a lift. I was disappointed Stone didn't go to jail. He's addicted to the attention, so it will be torture for him until he finally cracks.

[sheshe2]

11. Yep.

There is no way that ass can keep his mouth shut. As you said he craves the limelight.

[Zoonart]

2. In other words...

STFU, Roger.

[madaboutharry]

3. It is like telling your kindergartner...

4. Depriving him of his moneymaker as well.

Nice. Less noise in the world. Ahhhh

[wishstar]

5. Plus he had to spend thousands more $ for himself and lawyers to appear in court today

so he has dug himself deeper in trouble and his dishonest dodgy statements today can be used against him in his eventual sentencing

[PSPS]

7. "I'm broke," he told the judge. LOL

[onecaliberal]

9. Womp womp

[albacore]

12. Broke?? So, then.... Public Defender? You know, the one buried with 300 cases... OK! nt

[chwaliszewski]

22. Public defender? Like this one?

[defacto7]

14. Broke to people like him means he's down to his last

couple hundred thousand cash and his cards only $50k limits. That's the hard life I tell ya.

[yardwork]

21. Broke to those people means business as usual, millions in debt, but still spending like crazy.

I couldn't live that way. I don't know how they sleep at night.

26. "Then sell your damn houses" (is what I would have said). nt

8. Well, that's one way of looking at it, I guess.

I was really hoping he'd get locked up, but yes, making him irrelevant is probably worse than going to jail. He'll wind up there soon enough, anyway.

[Mr. Quackers]

10. if he was black, brown, poor

he'd have never seen daylight since his arrest.

[LongtimeAZDem]

31. You realize that, by saying that, you're calling Judge Jackson racist?

[Mr. Quackers]

33. no

it's a commentary on the justice system in general

[LongtimeAZDem]

34. Except that it isn't. Judge Jackson is sloely responsible for Stone's situation.

So, the only way your statement would be true is if you believe that she herself would treat a person of color differently based on their race.

[Mr. Quackers]

35. that's what you are talking about

I am talking about something different that has absolutely nothing to do with what you are saying.

[manor321]

13. Nah, he should be in jail. This is conservative white privilege.

[watoos]

15. I agree

[davekriss]

25. I also agree

[Honeycombe8]

16. I disagree. He would have been irrelevant in jail, which is why he begged not to be jailed.

Get that: Roger Stone, the arrogant narcissist who famously said it's better to be known for evil than not known at all, was begging like a toad. She granted him his wish.

Now he has to give his statements through someone else. He's still out there, free to be seen, free to be heard through the voices of others.

In jail, where he would really have been silenced, as well as physically put away, he would have been irrelevant.

This is baffling, why she didn't throw him in the slammer to await trial.

[912gdm]

19. he would be a Maga martyr if the Judge sent him to jail today.

His supporters believe there is an underground complex of chained children under a one story metro pizza joint. Id say a good portion of em also think the earth is flat, but anyway.


At least now he gets the rope to legally hang himself since we all know he can't keep out of the spotlight

[ForgedCrank]

17. forcing Roger Stone to shut up is a fate worse than life in a cell for him.

He won't be able to do it. I suspect he'll crack within a week or two.

[Eliot Rosewater]

20. Dont underestimate the pain and suffering a privileged piece of shit like that would

experience in jail.

And I dont mean at the hands of other inmates, I mean the experience itself.

[spooky3]

27. Welcome to DU! nt

[ForgedCrank]

29. thank you. I've been reading anonymously for a week or two since I found

some google links back to here. Figured I would just make an account and see how it would go.
Interesting place

[marble falls]

30. By Friday.

[gopiscrap]

36. welcome to DU

[Cha]

18. Good on Judge Amy Berman Jackson Ordering

the Gag!

Mahalo, Hermit

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. I'd love to hear a wiretap of Stone

Imagine how he's fuming and raving!

[Cha]

28. Yes, and how happy that

makes us!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

23. Time to STFU Nixon tramp stamp boy

[drray23]

32. He should have been jailed.

In some jurisdictions, poor people who cant pay their fine on small infractions and can't afford to pay the bond end up waiting for months in jail. If you are rich and privileged, you get to sit it out in your nice home.
