Any time you post a picture of someone that features a rifle crosshairs, I think the interpretation is pretty clear.[A] photo, which was posted and then deleted from [Roger] Stone’s Instagram account, showed Jackson next to crosshairs, mimicking the scope of a rifle. The cross hairs were in the background of the photo, and not directly over the judge. He later deleted that post, posting the same photo without the crosshairs and then deleted that post as well. In the post, Stone said the judge would be presiding over a “show trial.”

The photo appears to come from a conspiracy website that features pictures of others, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff against the same background.

>Stone formally apologized Monday for his controversial Instagram posts in a letter filed with the court.

“Please inform the Court that the photograph and comment today was improper and should not have been posted. I had no intention of disrespecting the Court and humbly apologize to the Court for the transgression,” Stone, a longtime associate of President Donald Trump, wrote in the letter.

Stone said a “volunteer” who works on his social media posted the initial Instagram post and the photo was “random,” and not “meant anyway to threaten the judge.” Stone says he “ordered it taken down because it was open to misinterpretation.”

Bullshit. "Taken at random." Sure. When you post a picture on instagram, you have to choose it. You don't program Instagram to choose a random photo.After the second photo was deleted, Stone posted a statement on Instagram, “A photo of Judge Jackson posted on my Instagram has been misinterpreted. This was a random photo taken from the Internet. Any inference that this was meant to somehow threaten the Judge or disrespect court is categorically false.”
And you know this about the organization, and you "randomly" chose that picture of Judge Jackson. Sure. Very believable.In another post, Stone writes, “What some say are cross hairs are in fact the logo of the organization that originally posted it something called corruption central. They use the logo in many photos.”
And why was the second photo posted and then also taken down?
You think? Well, let's have a look...Stone wrote in the caption of the second post that his upcoming trial before the judge is a “show trial,” and accused special counsel Robert Mueller of using “legal trickery” to ensure Jackson, who he notes was appointed by former President Barack Obama, presides over his case. That post was then deleted.
The posts are not likely to sit well with Jackson.

Put him in custody. Like Paul Manafort, he's going to behave in unethical, if not illegal, ways as long as he's out.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
