TitanTiger 20,472 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Quote Roger Stone, a former adviser to President Donald Trump, was indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller and arrested Friday on charges of obstruction, giving false statements and witness tampering. Stone has been under the microscope of Mueller over his alleged connection to WikiLeaks and hacked Democratic emails released by the site during the 2016 presidential campaign. He has repeatedly denied any collusion with WikiLeaks. Stone, 66, was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and is expected to make an initial appearance later Friday in a federal courthouse. Stone was an official with the Trump campaign as of August 2015, although "maintained regular contact with and publicly supported" the campaign through the 2016 election, according to the grand jury indictment filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Nearly a dozen Stone associates have been summoned by Mueller to appear before his Washington grand jury, sources told NBC News in November. Trump in December tweeted his support of Stone, quoting his longtime ally as saying he would never testify against him. Trump wrote that Stone was "essentially stating that he will not be forced by a rogue and out of control prosecutor to make up lies and stories about 'President Trump.' Nice to know that some people still have 'guts!'" Neither the White House nor Trump’s attorneys could immediately be reached for comment about the indictment against Stone. This is a breaking news story.

So they're upset that CNN got in the trenches and documented the raid with video footage, but they aren't upset with Stone for breaking the law. 😂😂 What a weird world we live in.

slot canyon 1,333 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I have concerns about how the FBI has to use such a show of force in order to take into custody a non- violent suspect. Were they expecting him to break out a window and begin shooting? Bet they could have called and told him to "come down to the station". They are so slick, efficient and secretive that a news network just happened to tag along. Bit too much Gestapo for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of it in the same way the State, after a highly publicized trial, flamboyantly walks out of the front doors of the courthouse to leave - instead of, say, the parking garage.

CNN was staking out the house, as I believe Stone himself said he was expecting to be indicted. So there was no leak, the FBI didn’t ask them to tag along, there’s no conspiracy.

Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Stone will fight back and not plead guilty. Good for him that he will get a jury trial and not be ruined just by Mueller. It will be interesting. let me be clear, if he is guilty fine and he should pay. But no one needs gestapo tactic in this country. Smells just like the scenario of Elian and Waco by Janet Reno. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/roger-stone-slams-mueller-indictment-says-hes-prepared-for-the-fight-of-his-life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gestapo was a Nazi-sanctioned secret police. Nicities such as warrants or indictments didn't figure in. As far as procedure, you folks think there should be an assault rifle in every household. You call this "gestapo tactics"?? You're a hoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
