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.

Some are speculating that the author name of the PDF file of "AAW" could refer to Andrew A. Weismann and implicates him as the leaker. Weismann left his position as chief of the criminal fraud division at the U.S. Department of Justice to help Mueller lead the FBI investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election. Here, his initials as AAW appear on a document related to Paul Manafort's charges:



CNN has claimed that its reporters were just at Stone's house with perfect timing on the hunch of fabulous investigative journalists and had no prior knowledge of the raid. However, they conveniently arrived only an hour before the FBI, and once the pre-dawn raid commenced, they were allowed to pass government barriers to film the arrest in its full glory. The days following, CNN anchors toasted each other as the network continued to replay the terrifying rifle-drawn raid of a 66-year-old sleeping man who was charged only with crimes related to the investigation itself, not because the investigation uncovered a crime prior to its manufacturing.

The implication that an FBI official is leaking information to control CNN's coverage of the federal agency's activities could lead to another criminal investigation of its own people and be enough to ruin the current two-year probe.

This alone should wreck the Mueller group.

It’s worse than ENRON.

Mueller’s team is all about politics, as is CNN. That’s obvious.

Partner, this is 100% proof that our FBI is corrupt to the core. Nuff said on that subject and we the private citizens of this great country know that the FBI is 100% corrupt to the core. It all started with that James Comey and former FBI director Robert Mueller, who is now the special prosecutor on the supposedly Russian Collusion by President Trump. After the America Hating Piece of Work Obama what do you expect of our government corruption.

You would think so, but the last two years have proven that the deep state can ignore the law and the MSM covers for them.

It’s way past time to shut this attempted coup down.

The DOJ and FBI can no longer be trusted...

Since 1992.

There must be something that can be done about Weismann. The long history of abuse of power with this evil punk goes for years.

May as well have burned the letter destined for the House Judiciary, for all of the good it will do. The House Dems aren't going to investigate.

Can Stone file charges against AAW for prosecutional misconduct? Time to turn the tables on these traitors. Don’t forget the US attorneys suing Trump business enterprise that are complicit in the attempted coup.

From may of last year:

Paul Manafort accuses Mueller team member of leaking to reporters

By Katelyn Polantz, CNN 

Updated 11:35 PM EDT, Mon May 21, 2018

“Manafort says in a new filing that lead special counsel prosecutor Andrew Weissmann communicated with four journalists from The Associated Press last year to share details of the investigation into Manafort, who at that time had not been indicted. Manafort rests his accusation in the court filing on the writings of freelance journalist Sara Carter.”

Senate Judiciary is Graham. Given that the Senate GOP has been openly colluding with the Muller Coup (providing them criminal referrals, etc.) I wouldn’t count on the Senate to do anything. The United States Senate is the bottom of the beltway sewer. No doubt.

Of course not the rank and file. They are great and would never get involved in anything corrupt. /s

Linda Graham seems to have briefly found his voice in the Senate Judiciary during the Kavanaugh hearings, so we shall see if he continues to walk the walk, or if he just talks the talk.

The FBI has been corrupt from the very beginning, starting with J. Edgar Hoover's blackmail files he kept on every politician inside and outside of Washington.

What most people do not realize is that what the FBI is doing to President Trump has been their S.O.P. since its formal founding in 1935.
