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.
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.
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.
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.
Who ordered this total farce? We want to ask him why two underwater diving teams were included in the 29 heavily armed SWAT members who were involved in the pre-dawn assault.. Perhaps they thought 66 yr old Stone & his deaf wife were going to swim to safety and elude capture.
Inquiring minds definitely want to know why the cowards in uniform were so afraid of these senior citizens and their two little dogs, and most important, who orders these outrageous attacks on US citizens.
It is time to clean house from top to bottom and the Roger Stone arrest is just one more reason to disband the FBI and fire all its employees. The functions that are worthwhile should be put under other existing departments and have extremely strict Congressional and Executive branch oversite.
Fallout, what Fallout, Sheriff Joe making a comment about it?
Now, if it was Comey making the comment...
All Trump has to do is call Mueller to his office and inform him that if he doesn’t surrender the leaker to CNN of Stone’s raid, he loses his national security clearance.
This overwhelming thuggery was done not to try to cow Roger Stone, but to make other, weaker souls, who might work for President Trump, or merely support President Trump, or merely ever accidentally be in the way of the Totalitarian Deep State's goals fear to even come to their attention.
A fish rots from the head down...remember this next time you have jury duty.
Only corrupt agents would remain at the FBI when their bosses are dirty.
So IMHO they are all dirty, every single one.
Mueller = sedition.
The FBI is now into theatrics.
This country is in SERIOUS TROUBLE.
