CNN was the only news outlet to capture footage of Trump-confidant Roger Stone’s arrest Friday morning, raising allegations that they were tipped off to the impending raid by the FBI or the grand jury handling the case.
Stone was arrested early Friday morning at his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida after being indicted by a grand jury on charges brought by special counsel Robert Mueller. Dramatic footage captured by a lucky CNN producer shows the FBI surrounding Stone’s home in an armed raid and pounding on Stone’s front door.
WATCH:
The seemingly too-perfect scenario of CNN being the only outlet on scene as the FBI raided Stone’s home sparked allegations that CNN had been tipped off to the arrest. Many wondered why a raid was necessary in the first place — Jordan Schatchel of Blaze TV called the scenario an “excessive show of force.”

Cnn is the chosen news outlet of the deep state and the corrupt FBI.
Maybe it’s time for Acosta to lose his press pass again.
Easy. Someone committed a far more serious crime than Stone was arrested for, and Mueller & Gang were co-conspirators.
Anyone who does not understand that the Ministry of Propaganda works closely with the law enforcement arms of Fedzilla is deliberately obtuse.
The FBI agents involved and the Mueller team should be suspended until the leaker is identified.
“Maybe it’s time for Acosta to lose his press pass again.”
It wasnt Acostard who was there but another Deep State lackey in Shortell, who lives in DC and happened to be in FL at the time??
Democrats — Media — FBI
Is it three things? or one thing?
(You can throw in the GOP establishment as well)
Oh, I thought I was the only one that ‘believed’ the Reporters Instinct crock.
Does CNN have any ABSOLUTE, CERTIFIED reporters?
Does ANYONE at CNN have ‘instincts’?
I think not....then again, I have NEVER willingly watched CNN...
P
The early morning arrest, having CNN record it was all done for effect. Not exactly a free press, is it.
The mainstream media seem totally uninterested in how CNN knew to be there at that moment.
I have wondered this. How would CNN know to be there? Isn’t secrecy and surprise key elements in arresting someone?
Suppose someone at CNN knew Roger Stone, and tipped him off about the operation, so he could escape. Would the media still have no interest in how CNN learned about this?
What would that arrest look like if a Grandchild had appeared at the door with 27 guns pointed at him/her?
There was a Daily Kos article on Thursday titled “Mueller’s grand jury conducts rare Thursday session, could be sign of Friday indictments”
Stone is mentioned multiple times in the article and comments. If a bunch of internet keyboard warriors on Kos could guess that Stone could be indicted on Friday it is not a stretch to think that CNN could.
IT IS NOW REPORTED THAT THE reporter who was staking out the house lives in DC, NOT in FL.
“How Exactly Did CNN Get Footage Of Roger Stone’s Arrest?”
Tip-top hard-nosed journalism...
...um is not how it was done.
I’m sure they would have known who was at the house. Otherwise the script would get messed up.
Mueller
Actually the Elian Gonzalez pictures were a massive screwup but that was like 25 years ago.
It makes the question even more urgent: how is it that Kos is clued into the workings of the Mueller Grand Jury?
And if it was already 'out there' and Stone hadn't fled, why not just ask him to surrender himself with his attorney?
What good is a show arrest and a show trial without cameras?
