Roger Stone's Time in the Barrel

Speaking with CNN’s John Berman and Alisyn Camerota, CNN producer David Shortell said he had a gut instinct to go to Stone’s residence after noticing unusual grand jury activity in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.

“The whole Russia team thought, maybe something was happening. There was unusual grand jury activity in Washington, D.C. yesterday. Robert Mueller’s grand jury typically meets on Friday, yesterday, a Thursday, there was grand jury activity,” Shortell said.

“We also had some other signs that maybe something was going on this angle, the Roger Stone angle. So we showed up at his house this morning, we were the only ones there, and lo and behold the FBI agents did come and arrest him,” he added.

Odd people believe this.

You need to read twitter more. I am a SAHM and *I* knew something was happening. It was ALL OVER with speculation of who it would be.

Trump fans must be so tired from all the mental contortions. Cognitive dissonance is sooooo hard!

Hey don’t look now but it sure looks like old orange dictator is about to try and distract the news cycle away from Stone:

Oh, FFS. Evidence? They have charged him with process crimes. He has stated numerous times that he thought he would be indicted. If he was going to destroy evidence, he would have done it long before today.
The dramatic arrest does not add up. Mueller, et al are acting like A$$holes.

Yah, Yah, Mueller is the one acting like A$$holes - we know arresting the people who acted against America is very A$$holic...we got it!

Explained upthread, they were aware of 'unusual' grand jury activity and surmised that a Stone arrest was in the offing.

My grandma lives near that area and there’s absolutely no parking in those ‘hoods. It had to be prearranged for CNN to get vans and crews in there. For sure.

CNN suspected there was something up because the grand jury met yesterday and it doesn’t usually meet on Thursdays. It’s called good journalism.

The story of the good journalism - https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/25/politics/roger-stone-raid/index.html

And, this is why I think there is something more to this story:
"As of Thursday night, neither Stone nor his attorney believed he would be arrested on Friday morning. They also were convinced that Stone would have an opportunity to turn himself in, rather than an unexpected pre-dawn arrest at home."

Arrests of this type generally don't go down with 12 agents and guns drawn. It is usually an agreement. Interesting that CNN happened to show up an hour before the arrest and that it was as dramatic as it was.

I think you are discounting the impact of the shutdown and the lack of paychecks. FBI agents, feds are feeling pretty pissy right now.

There is more when it is a 14 year old AA kid with a dime bag. Who do you think you are kidding? They dodn't blow up doors or act like storm troopers, but you want to get evidence on site , so you need to act swiftly and with enough manpower (unpaid) to make it a successful operation.

Again, please explain to me how “process crimes“ differ from regular crimes. Is there a different criminal code? TIA!

A lot of people thought an arrest was imminent.

But, the whole drama surrounding the arrest and the timing of the arrest (predawn) combined with CNN's presence is really questionable.

All Mueller has is process crimes and folks, spin away, but it’s not treason.

The Rambo arrest and CNN being there really does complete the scene though.

Stone is so dangerous he must be arrested with drawn guns but is released later on bond?

Exactly - he was waiting for a big Mueller news drop to release hostages. Hope Media can stay on point and ignore this hostage release party.

Perhaps if the FBI was getting paid, they would have allowed Stone to turn himself in instead of making a big show of his arrest.

So rather than being outraged by traitors, you are obsessed with law enforcement etiquette?

So the FBI is allowed to take their anger and frustration from the shut down out on American citizens?

That’s creepy and not at all appropriate.

Process crimes are crimes that are a result of the investigation. In other words, said individual had committed no crime PRIOR to the special counsel being created. The only crimes he is charged with are crimes that happened due to the counsel's existence.
Lying is always bad. Not excusing it - if he did lie. But, to make a leap and say this has anything to do with Russia is just a joke.
If Mueller had evidence of any kind of "collusion," you know damn well he would have been charged with it.
But, there is nothing in the indictment

Even if (talking in hypothetical here) FBI leaked the story to CNN and staged a theater - so what. I thought you like reality TV. Your Orange leader has been doing this all the time. Cannot take someone else takes his playbook. STFU with your hysteria. If you are okay with POTUS doing, you should cheer when unpaid FBI workers do it!

Four sealing indictments filed today. Don't be distracted by the Stone indictment!
