The only saving grace in all this is Mueller has an established track record of being an arrogant moron who overplays his hand. He probably thought it would send a great message to film the FBI gestapo taking down a 70 year old man in his pajamas with CNN filling in the role as Leni Riefenstahl. Instead the action leads to the obvious question of collusion between CNN and the FBI and Stone gains sympathy (except of course from the bat-sh*t crazy wing of the Dem party).
Mueller doesn’t want Stone going to trial. Doesn’t expect Stone going to trial, because discovery would be a bitch.
Mueller’s next move will be to throw Stone into solitary to shut him up. Because that’s what the FBI gestapo does.
The head of the Gestapo in Germany (state polizei) was Heinrich Muller; the head of the Gestapo (FBI) in the US is Robert Mueller. The similarities don’t end with the names or the use of the media (Leni Reifenstahl, CNN) to build yourself up and damn your perceived enemies.
