Roger Stone's lawyer offers proof CNN is in bed with FBI
American Thinker ^ | 02/05/2019 | Taylor Day

Posted on 02/05/2019 7:06:03 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Documentation was released yesterday, reportedly from Roger Stone's lawyer, that claims that CNN didn't just happen upon Mr. Stone's home right before a 29-person FBI team raided it and took him into custody based on a "gut instinct," as the FBI claimed.  The letter was produced by Mr. Stone's lawyer, Grant Smith, who sent it to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.  It details a frightening tale of CNN acting on behalf of the FBI in regard to the continual Russia probe.

The proof that CNN was tipped off by an official within the FBI investigation to Roger Stone's pending indictment and home raid is evident in the damning omission that comes on the final page of the letter:

6:22 am   I receive, via text message from Sara Murray of CNN, what appears to be a draft copy of the indictment as it has no PACER filing notations in the header.  (See attached)  This makes the document provided to me different from the copy currently on the DOJ website and would appear to be prior in time to the filling and the unsealing.  It is unknown how CNN had obtained a copy of a sealed indictment without a PACER filing header.  Additionally, the metadata of the document sent to me, also attached, indicates that the author was "AAW" and that it was created and modified on 1/23/19 at 11:04 pm using Acrobat PDF Maker for Word, a full day before it was filed with the Court under seal.

The metadata are the technical aspects of the computer file that CNN's Sara Murray sent Mr. Stone's lawyer and act as a resource for when the document was first created and who created it.

Obama had a powerful influence on the swamp and I have never understood what their goals are. To willing destroy the greatest nation on Earth just doesn’t pass the smell test for me. I believe there is a much deeper reason for all this, but I can’t quite figure it out.

It appears Andrew Weissman is very sloppy and does not cover his tracks well. If what I believe is true he will be gone soon.

Since the document metadata shows that it predates the filing, I guess that Sara Murray of CNN needs to ‘learn to code’!

Oh how I love sweet irony!

Just happened to be there for a perp walk.

Of course there’s collusion. Both sides are evil.

If what I believe is true he will be gone soon.

Maybe, if the DOJ disapproves of what he does. One would hope, but this is not the first time and nothing happened last time.

As written, the sentence identifies that the letter has an omission, rather than the filing. That is why it appears to be incorrect to me.

Perhaps a better construction would be "...the damning omission identified on the final page of the letter:"?

I was a Police Officer for 32 years and never had but one dealing with them and it did not show but I do not disagree with you. Just before retiring I was questioned by two ex agents and they were good and almost right but they did lie.
I would advise anyone to have a witness anytime they talked to an agent just for self protection. I learned a few years back that they would not record you,one would ask questions and one would take notes. This way they manipulate what is said.I always respected them but should have been smarter.

So far, I haven’t found any references to Weissman’s middle name or middle initial. Have you found it someplace?

Partner, the Vince Foster death has always been so suspicious to us normal folk. We keep asking the same question on his death. How in the world did he commit suicide by having his gun and arm were not pointed to his head but on the side of the body.

Partner, the Clinton Crime Syndicate literally gets away with murder all the time and they must either payoff in big $$$ or they are part of the Clintoon crime syndicate and either way the Clintoons are guilty as sin. I am not saying anything new on the Clintons that everybody in the Freeper nation knows about the Clintoons.

BTW, I did read the Anerican Thinker Article that you point out and thanks for the link.

It is amazing how the Clintoons just keep doing big time crime and they get away with it.

And people are surprised??? Remember, ALL, EVERY STINKING ONE OF THE MEDIA OUTLETS, including Fox News, are in bed with the Dimocrat party and the underground government run by Obama and Hillary are attempting to overthrow the legal US government. The media are simply the propaganda wing of the Dimocratic People's Communist Liberal Homosexual Party of Amerika. These people are ALL for the Dims. They SPY for the Dims. They provide info for the Dims to use against our side. They are part of the One World Government types of the UN. If you don't believe in the OWG, you might want to open your eyes. THIS STUFF IS REAL!!! It is true and it is the coming end of this Republic. And the END is coming folks.

The Holy Bible, written thousands of years ago, AND PROVEN TRUE AND CORRECT, clearly tells of these days. These days were predicted. All through history these predictions came and went, happening as Scripture said they would. Each and every event predicted, happened exactly as the LORD of heaven and earth predicted. They all did. This one is predicted. These times are clearly written the Book of Revelation. They are happening. The worst is yet to come. If you don't believe it, do so at your own peril. The worst is yet to come.

It goes back before 1992. Remember the four mobsters convicted of murder, because it would have given away one of the FBI’s song birds had the truth come out, so the FBI hung them out to dry on a murder charge of which they were all four innocent.

Wish I could remember the name of the case, but it easily researched. I think you have to go back to J Edgar to have some trust and there are probably some here that might suggest that era isn’t perfect either.
