Full headline: Fallout continues over heavily armed FBI raid of Roger Stone: ‘No reason except to intimidate’ and ‘poison jury pool’
Fallout is continuing from the FBI’s decision to send 29 heavily armed agents in 19 vehicles to arrest political operative and longtime Trump associate Roger Stone last week following an indictment by special counsel Robert Mueller.
“I’ve been busting down doors for 50 Years, and I’ve never sent that many units, not even to the baddest murderers,” former Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio told The Western Journal.
In addition to being sheriff of a county that grew to more than 4 million people over the course of his two decades in office, Arpaio was also a military policeman in the U.S. Army, an officer in Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas, and spent 20 years as an agent with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

They were too clever by half and it will backfire upon their corrupt asses...................
All those guns, vehicles, personnel, equipment and Stone was out of jail by lunch time.
What a bunch of phonies.
What a crock of steaming bs...and of course they tipped off their partners in crime cnn.....
The vast majority of the rank and file are good guys and were outraged by this.
(Do I need the “/s”?)
Someone wake me when there’s real fallout, people losing their powerful FedGov LE positions, going to prison, etc.
FBI = The UnAmerican Gestapo.
Disband these jackboots.
Note to “Law and Order” Freepers....cops do this to EVERYONE.
If you don’t mind that, you brought on this.
FBI = Frightening Bumbling Idiots
You'll be asleep for a hundred years.
Hard to believe the guy that used to give Whitey Bulger lap dances was so intimidated by Rodger Stone he had to send this kind of force. Swatting is terrorism.
Fallout?! Not a chance.
Is anyone expecting Dems, who run all the House committees now, to do anything?
Is the media calling for an investigation?
Is turtleneck doing anything?
This is just fine with the political class. They want to be sure we low life deplorables know what real power looks like.
I also thought it would serve the purpose (still might, down the road), of giving some great optics at campaign time, to show RUSSIAN COLLUSION. I mean, with all those FBI agents and tactical gear, etc., it MUST mean there was collusion with Putin.
Had there not been such a swift and strong reaction the fact that CNN was there in live time (obviously tipped off by someone in Mueller’s group), I expect we would have seen much more of it aired the day of the arrest and next couple days.
IMHO, someone realized (1) the FBI maneuver was “overkill” and (2) NO WAY CNN should have been tipped off and there on site. Now they are both (FBI and CNN) hoping for this to be quickly forgotten.
You better change your screen name to Rip Van Winkle ‘cause it ain’t gonna’ happen./sarc
Ten percent more tactical man power than we sent to take down Bin Laden — for the guy that publishes the Best Dressed List.
Additionally we didn’t “tip-off” CNN, we orchestrated it with a reporter that had to fly in from the District of Columbia.
This was THEATER.
Scum do this.
3 Airborne Divisions deployed, the invasion fleet was offshore, a sustained two-hour barrage from the invasion fleet's battleships, and hundreds of fighter-bombers to "soften up" the target.
I love our president. I voted, donated, and continue to try to trust him...but what kind of man does nothing to stop his friends from being falsely accused and arrested? I truly hope and pray that there is a grand plan in all of this, but grow more and more doubtful every day.
Happened to hear a NPR segment on the arrest this morning or yesterday afternoon. The host was talking to their “legal affairs” reporter about the arrest. Mostly dealing with the charges in the indictment and what it might mean for the Mueller investigation and Trump. At the end of the interview host mentioned that there had been some criticism of how the arrest was conducted. Reporter stated he had talked to “knowledgeable people” (or something close to that term) and that this was standard operating procedure for arrests so that evidence could not be destroyed by the accused. As far as I know there was just an arrest warrant with no related search warrant, so that part of the reporting was misleading by NPR or just outright false. Don’t know it the reporter realized he was being mislead and went along or was in over his head on criminal legal matters.
Arrogance and corruption.
