Roger Stone the Republican strategist and Donald Trump associate indicted on charges stemming from special counsel Robert Mueller s Russia investigation went after the federal judge presiding over his case on Instagram, publishing her picture next to what appeared to be an image of crosshairs and begging for money from his followers.

In a message that was posted, lambasted, deleted, edited, reposted and re-deleted over the course of a few hours on Monday, Stone claimed that Deep State hitman Robert Mueller assigned him Judge Amy Berman Jackson through legal trickery.

Stones attorneys later in the day filed a Notice of Apology from Stone to the judge. Please inform the Court that the photograph and comment today was improper and should not have been posted, Stone wrote in a signed letter in the document. I had no intention of disrespecting the Court and humbly apologize to the Court for the transgression.

The photo of Jackson, which appears to have originated from an anti-Semitic conspiracy blog , featured the words Corruption Central and an image of what appear to be crosshairs next to her head. At the end of his post, Stone urged his followers to help me fight for my life at a donation page set up in his name.
