Discussion: WATCH: FBI Approaches Stone's Home In Fort Lauderdale In Pre-Dawn Arrest

Wow, lots to mull here. How the hell does a camera crew tag along on an arrest in an investigation headed by a cards close to the vest, taciturn prosecutor that for over a year has assiduously avoided anything remotely resembling a press stunt, to this point. WTF? This seems tailor made to inflame every rabble-rousing Wingnut to the right of Ben Sasse. What purpose was served here?*

*After reading some stories it appears CNN, or someone working for them, was staking out Stone’s home, probably 24/7, in anticipation of this. So, no Mueller stunt. Thankfully.

I’ll see your warrant and raise you a pardon.

Hmmmmm…wonder how Junior is feeling this morning as he watches this?

Maybe he’ll be starring in his own FBI movie next week.

Of course, this afternoon would be really good, too.

He’s sworn to “never” testify against Trump. Wait 'til he learns his cellmate Bubba is aroused by that Nixon tattoo.

Will T weigh in on this? Will we get to see a reprise of his “disgrace” rant that he gave before he decided that Cohen was the worst creature in the world?
Today would probably be a good day to keep the base’s attention away from the shutdown, so my guess is yes.

The indictment and the optics of this are too damning for the president. I predict the shutdown will “magically” get solved by this weekend! :smirk:

Oooh, oooh, I see there’s room for a Spankee tattoo down there two.

Then he can sport BOTH presidents who he supported who were taken down for being criminals. The first one evaded jail, let’s hope the second one gets perp-walked in an orange jumpsuit.

The rumor was alive late last night, early this morning, about Stone being arrested today. What’s surprising to me is OSC didn’t just let Roger turn himself in, you know, after breakfast. Nice to see.

You know, I am torn between @docd’s prediction that Spankee’s going to do a rant to get focus off the shutdown, and yours that he’ll “solve” it.

It could go either way. Depends on which sort of “face” he is most concerned about saving.

Far be it from me to wish such a thing upon him.

I think he should be held someplace very secure. For his own safety, of course. ADX Florence sounds about right.

Given that option Stone would have orchestrated some grand surrender to the cries of “I am Roger Stone!!” from the assembled enslaved masses.*

*Available now from “Perp Walks-R-Us”

Yes, Roger tends to be theatrical.

I’m guessing, Spartacus?

It’s before 8:00 and I already need a good post-coital cigarette!

I hope he’s standing in jail in his silk jammies

What’s with the nabbing the guy while he’s sleeping? Couldn’t wait until after breakfast? Or they thought he’d run?

As long as they’re out in their gear, and there’s room in the van, maybe a road trip down to Mar-A-Lago is in order? Just to see who’s available
