The latest "This is the beginning of the end for Trump..." orgasm in the mainstream media comes with serious action movie production values, courtesy of Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller. Roger Stone, who could easily have been notified to turn himself in the way white-collar defendants who are no danger of fleeing normally are handled, was instead subjected to a humiliating midnight predawn raid with cars full of riot gear-clad FBI agents, all staged before the cameras of CNN, which was exclusively granted access to the scene worthy of an action movie. [Update: It is not clear who leaked newsof the raid to CNN, having the effect of staging it for the most anti-Trump of networks. ]This is similar to the treatment of Paul Manafort, but with the added indignity of CNN cameras.

No doubt the demolibs have damp panties this morning knowing that there'll probably be a predawn full body armor raid on the WH within days. May even be on PDLive. Does c-en-en have a anti trump video team on standy 24/7?

Staged like it was the old Soviet Union.

Intimidate the populace.

[himno hero]

... so the American Izvestia was notified. Standard operating procedure, eh comrade?

What a drama queen.

Me? Oh, muledeer.

It’s a warning to anyone who would dare follow Trump in challenging the Uniparty or anyone who would even support or befriend such a person.

“At the crack of dawn, 29 FBI agents arrived at my home...they could simply have contacted my attorneys and I would have been more than willing to surrender voluntarily,” Stone says. “They terrorized my wife, my dogs, I was taken to the FBI facility.”

Wow. I don’t remember this same tactic at the Wiener household.

[RightGeek]

Lol Roger Stone must have had an M1 Abrams tank in his garage

[mass55th]

LOL!! Yeah, muledeer!

This seems a little excessive to arrest a 66 year old man.

[AmusedBystander]

What a shame our country has come to be. SWAT raids on an old man for nothing while MS13 thugs are welcomed to sanctuary cities. Unbelievable what we are witnessing.

Mueller needs PR to remain relevant and continue to have some power

[humblegunner]

midnight predawn raid

0600 is Midnight predawn?

Outrage is a reason for making shit up?

The Gestapo nabbed another Jew in true tradition of Fog and Night.

[Bonemaker]

FBI “Director” Wray (aka Muellers ball washer) must be a Sessions clone. He must be real proud of his hero agents. I don’t think this tool could be a decent Wal-Mart greeter.

[rktman]

Did they or did they not seize any ARs in the raid?

[Red Badger]

All that to arrest a 66 year old man on process crime charges............................They are really stupid...................

He was very, very, very fortunate that him, his wife, and dog were not shot down.

The return of the "Jack booted thugs"!
