I'm not sure how in the world he can explain that post as not having the intention of disrespecting the court.
I mean, a short list of ways it disrespected the court, in the pair of posts (pre- and post-edit):
- suggested that the Federal Court is engaged in a "show trial", fundamentally impugning the integrity of the Judicial process.
- suggested that the Judge is compromised and partisan because she was appointed by President Obama
- suggested that the Judge violated the Due Process rights of another defendant by revoking his bail
- suggested that he's being railroaded rather than getting a fair hearing and "the fix is in"
- vaguely threatened the Judge via posting crosshairs near her head in an image
How in the world do you say "I'm sorry, I meant no disrespect" with a straight face? This dude just seriously has not ever run into a situation where his day-to-day ran up against the plain, nonpartisan, no-spin character of real life. It's like a comedian getting blown up over a rape bit and going " ... but it was just a joke!" except with actual crimes.
White privilege.
I know it's fun to say that but I think it's off base. I, a white dude, would not get away with that shit in front of a federal judge either. It's not about being white, maybe not even about being white and wealthy. It's about being a part of this insane spin zone we've created where any escalation is just noise you make to fuel the grift, throwing out wild crazy shit in the media just... happens with no consequence, spewing conspiracies on the internet is the normal thing.
They live in a different realm, and it's incompatible with standard reality.

Generally it's poor form to do anything that might even remotely require an apology to the judge afterward.
Mind you, the dude we're currently discussing also has a tattoo of Nixon on his back, so I'm guessing that good judgement is severely lacking.
Also, don't go looking at Stone's instagram account unless you're prepared to weep for mankind for a little bit afterward - it's chock full of morons wearing "Roger Stone Did Nothing Wrong" shirts.

I agree this is about drinking deeply of the Flavor Aid. I think Stone and Manafort both live in this alternate reality not just because of being deep in the Republican spin-zone, but also through their work at Black, Manafort & Stone. They worked with all sorts of scumbags internationally in environments where threatening a judge would be completely normal. You combine them with a domestic administration that has no knowledge or respect for norms, and they revert to the instincts they honed working for third world despots.

You're also smart spool. You realize why this doesn't work because you've availed yourself to stories of anything but rich white folks interacting with a legal system they are buddy buddy with.
These folks literally don't have grasp on standard reality because extreme white privilege has insulated them from that reality. The reason they can not so subtly threaten a federal judge, and think a simple apology solves that problem for them is because in the past, when dealing with other legal issues... that's all its taken for a legal misstep to be forgotten. Offer an apology, maybe get a slap on the wrist, and then everything gets handled. They don't realize what part of the legal system they are dealing with, and that its very different from the legal systems they're used to interacting with.
His court case started with a no knock raid with armor clad cops busting into his house unexpectedly in the early morning. Like a drug dealer. He's trying to act like it's one of those cases where they contacted his lawyers and told him to come on in to get deposed about some possible crimes that we're just going to give you a slap on the wrist for anyways.
It isn't that white privilege is necessarily going to make it so a simple apology works. It's that white privilege is the reason they think a simple apology will work, and why we can't discount it as possibly working right out of hand.

It’s ok guys, Stone has a plan! According to this congress reporter for Politico, he’s gone so far as to file a personal apology. He signed it and everything!
That looks like way too much like a template; like stone just found a site with ready made documents that just require you to fill in the fields.
Which I'm sure will go over well with a judge who was directly insulted and potentially threatened by this nimrod.
It's almost certainly written by his attorneys. Who generally use various legal forms and standardized language in legal filings where anything that doesn't feel like a template is going to get edited until it does.

Virtually everything used in an official filing is a template. If something has passed legal muster in the past, it makes no sense to re-invent the wheel every time.
There are some jokes to that end -- no one has written a search warrant since the 70's -- but it's all on the level and is a reasonable way to conduct business with the court.
I would assue most high falutin' law firms probably do not have to apologize for threats to judges enough to have a good form letter for that sort of thing.
WASHINGTON — As federal prosecutors in Manhattan gathered evidence late last year about President Trump’s role in silencing women with hush payments during the 2016 campaign, Mr. Trump called Matthew G. Whitaker, his newly installed attorney general, with a question. He asked whether Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York and a Trump ally, could be put in charge of the widening investigation, according to several American officials with direct knowledge of the call.
Mr. Whitaker, who had privately told associates that part of his role at the Justice Department was to “jump on a grenade” for the president, knew he could not put Mr. Berman in charge, since Mr. Berman had already recused himself from the investigation. The president soon soured on Mr. Whitaker, as he often does with his aides, and complained about his inability to pull levers at the Justice Department that could make the president’s many legal problems go away.
As to what Whitaker did following that conversation:
[Trump] made the call to Mr. Whitaker to see if he could put Mr. Berman in charge of the New York investigation. The inquiry is run by Robert Khuzami, a career prosecutor who took over after Mr. Berman, whom Mr. Trump appointed, recused himself because of a routine conflict of interest.
What exactly Mr. Whitaker did after the call is unclear, but there is no evidence that he took any direct steps to intervene in the Manhattan investigation. He did, however, tell some associates at the Justice Department that the prosecutors in New York required “adult supervision.”
Talking to Congress might have been a bad idea for Whitaker.

I mean, the alternative was to get subpoenaed, so it's not like he had a choice.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but how does Trump, after all this time, after it being explained over and over to him, still think getting his own people in the DoJ means the DoJ can't investigate him?

Because Trump thinks being President is like being CEO, so anyone who works for the DOJ is basically his employee and therefore should have a vested interest in protecting his ass.

It's the only possible thing he can think of to get the investigations to go away. He thinks that the DoJ works for the President, and he's the President, so they should do what they tell him. He's desperate and not very smart.

Initially yes, but how can still think that way after repeatedly, repeatedly, being told "Windmills do not work that way!" Where Windmills are the DoJ, in this instance.
I think it's because the alternatives for him are either 1) Just sit back and wait for the investigations to dismantle his entire administration, or 2) Resign and wait to be arrested. Given those choices, banging his head against the wall at least might maybe eventually work in his favor.

Which is even more ridiculous considering how much work Sessions did for "his" party, regardless of the recusal.

I know people are in the mind of "I'll believe it when I hear it from Rosenstein's mouth" but the White House is definitely signaling they want him gone.
Oh, I'm sure they do. I'm just not sure he'll oblige them, since "the Boss" is - despite it being part of his "brand" - too chickenshit to actually fire anyone.

IF the court doesn't just revoke his release, I am excited to see what creative conditions the court comes up with, like no use of the internet or further gag orders (which Stone will definitely break I'm sure)

We know that Trump already voiced his displeasure about SDNY to Whitaker, saying that they were getting "out of control". But now we know that Trump specifically wanted Whitaker to make Berman un-recuse himself and take charge of the Cohen related investigations.
