BBC coverage

Long-time Trump ally and former campaign adviser Roger Stone has been arrested in Florida, charged with seven counts in the Mueller probe.
Mr Stone will appear in court later in the city of Fort Lauderdale.
The indictment includes one count of obstruction of an official proceeding, five counts of false statements, and one count of witness-tampering.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating alleged collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign.

and the Guardian (Stone sure knows how to hog the limelight )

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jan/25/roger-stone-trump-ally-arrested-on-seven-charges
Mueller’s indictment states that during the summer of 2016 Stone spoke to senior Trump campaign officials about Wikileaks “and information it might have had that would be damaging to the Clinton campaign. Stone was contacted by senior Trump campaign officials to inquire about future releases by” Wikileaks, which the document calls “Organization 1”.

It states that Stone – a longtime political adviser to Trump – made “multiple false statements” about his interactions regarding Wikileaks, and “falsely denied possessing records that contained evidence of these interactions”, and “attempted to persuade a witness to provide false testimony to and withhold pertinent information from the investigations”.

The document later states that on or about 4 October 2016, the head of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, “held a press conference but did not release any new materials pertaining to the Clinton campaign. Shortly afterwards, Stone received an email from the high-ranking Trump campaign official asking about the status of future releases by [Wikileaks]. Stone answered that the head of [Wikileaks] had a “[s]erious security concern” but that [Wikileaks] would release ‘a load every week going forward’.”

Organization 1 !

Could Only think of one thing when I saw it break on Morning Joe

In the Jailhouse Now
Soggy Bottom Boys
I had a friend named Ramblin’ Bob
Who used to steal gamble and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy in town
But I found out last Monday
That Bob got locked up Sunday
They’ve got him in the jailhouse way down town
He’s in the jailhouse now he’s in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice quit playin’ cards and shootin’ dice
He’s in the jailhouse now
He played a game called poker pinoccle with Dan Yoker
But shooting dice was his greatest game
Now he’s downtown in jail nobody to go his bail
The judge done said that he refused a fine
He’s in the jailhouse now he’s in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice quit playin’ cards and shootin’ dice
He’s in the jailhouse now
I went out last Tuesday met a gal named Susie
Told her I was the swellest guy around
We started to spend my money
Then she started to call me honey
We took in every cabaret in town
We’re in the jailhouse now
We’re in the jailhouse now
I told the judge right to his face
We didn’t like to see this place
We’re in the jailhouse now

Welcome to the Zippy the Pinhead version of indictment Friday. This is a great way to start the day. This POS should have been put in the bloody slammer 30 years ago. Better late than never I guess.

You won’t believe this, but just as I read this, the sun came out after a dreary grey morning.

I kid you not.

My weekend is made already. Perhaps we’ll even get another prezzie from Mr Mueller during the course of the day to tide us over until Monday.

Warning: Collusion ahead. Also tweetstorm from Individual-1.
