Amy Berman Jackson may finally be fed up with Roger Stone's shenanigans.
The federal Washington judge lambasted the self-proclaimed political "trickster" Tuesday over his new book criticizing special counsel Robert Mueller and set a strict deadline for him to explain why she shouldn't send him behind bars for seemingly violating her gag order again.
"There is no question that the order prohibited and continues to prohibit the defendant from making any public statements, using any medium, concerning the investigation," Berman Jackson wrote in a motion imposing a Monday deadline for Stone to respond.
Stone _ who has been indicted in Mueller's Russia investigation over his 2016 contacts with WikiLeaks _ did not immediately return a request for comment from the New York Daily News.
The 66-year-old GOP operative and friend of President Donald Trump will now have to explain in a response filing why he didn't notify the court ahead of time of "The Myth of Russian Collusion," his new book that was released Feb. 19.
The book, which is a re-release of a previous screed, contains a fresh introduction penned by Stone that takes several shots at Mueller _ something Berman Jackson had explicitly barred him from doing when she imposed the gag order Feb. 21.
Stone's attorneys have argued he wrote the introduction before the gag order was issued and that he should thereby still be considered in compliance with the court's speech restrictions.
But Berman Jackson signaled she does not believe that to be the case in her Tuesday order.
"It does not matter when the defendant may have first formulated the opinions expressed, or when he first put them into words: He may no longer share his views on these particular subjects with the world," she wrote.
Berman Jackson also ripped Stone for not informing the court of the book release.
"He deliberately waited until public sales were not only 'imminent,' but apparently, ongoing, to inform the Court of the publication effort that had been underway for weeks," she said.
Berman Jackson allowed Stone to remain a free man last month, even though he violated her first gag order by posting a photo on Instagram of her face next to an apparent rifle scope crosshair along with a caption deriding her as an "Obama-appointed" partisan and Mueller as a "Deep State hitman."
However, Berman Jackson imposed an even stricter gag order and warned Stone she would have no qualms about revoking his $250,000 bond and send him to jail if he disobeyed her again.
"Today, I gave you a second chance," she said at Stone's Feb. 21 hearing. "This is not baseball, you don't get a third chance."
