Roger Stone, in one of his typical fits of rage, posted an image of federal judge Amy Berman Jackson with a crosshair just above her head today on Instagram. The clear implication: he was calling for violence against the judge after she hit him with a partial gag order. After numerous observers pointed out that Stoneโ€™s bail would likely be revoked over the post, he deleted it. Thatโ€™s when he launched into a total panicked meltdown.

Roger Stone posted this message, seemingly suggesting that he wasnโ€™t even the one who posted the image to his account:

Then, when Stone realized that wasnโ€™t going to fly, he posted this follow-up excuse:

Wait, so thatโ€™s supposed to make it better? Somewhere in there, Roger Stone texted CBS News reporter Kathryn Watson, saying he took the image down because it could be open to โ€œmiss interpretation.โ€ The surreal typo suggests that Stone truly is in a panic. We suspect that Judge Amy Berman Jackson is about to become โ€œMiss Interpretationโ€ when she interprets that Stoneโ€™s threat is a reason to revoke his bail and throw him in jail.
