FBI Refuses Records Requests For Emails To CNN On Day Of Roger Stone Raid
The Federalist ^ | April 2, 2019 | Sean Davis

Posted on 04/02/2019 12:44:29 PM PDT by detective

The FBI on Tuesday rejected an open records request from The Federalist for any and all emails sent to or from CNN the day of the pre-dawn raid at the home of Roger Stone.

“Please provide all e-mails sent to or received from any account with a ‘cnn.com’ domain from January 24, 2019 through January 25, 2019,” The Federalist wrote in a Freedom Of Information Act request submitted on the morning of January 25, 2019.

CNN was the only network present at the Fort Lauderdale home of Roger Stone, a former Trump associate who was indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, prior to the arrival of FBI agents dispatched to arrest the bombastic former Nixon aide. The pre-dawn arrival of CNN at what was supposed to be a surprise raid of Stone’s home raised questions about whether the network had been tipped off about the impending FBI arrest of Stone.

CNN had reporters and camera crews at Roger Stone's house at 3 am. Video showed them being escorted in by FBI people and were told where to stand. CNN reporters enthusiastically acted like cheerleaders for the Gestapo style predawn raid on Roger Stone.

David Shortell, the CNN reporter who broadcast live from Stone’s home during the raid, rejected suggestions that he had been tipped off to the raid and claimed that it was a gut feeling that compelled him to camp outside Stone’s residence the same day federal agents showed up to arrest Stone.

Now the FBI refuses to provide information on communications with CNN.

The FBI is corrupt. It has people who regularly leak to the media.

Send the federal marshals. Hand pick the ones that hate the FBI to send. Seize everything in sight.

President Trump:

The FBI is under your jurisdiction and command.

You can order them to release this information within the next 24 hours.

Such a shame. The corrupt ones make the other 2% look bad.

Tell the FBI director he has 24 hours to comply or clean out your desk.

So do many others. I don’t believe it. I think the FBI is corrupt to the core.

The FBI needs to be investigated by a special prosecutor. Now!

I laugh when Hannity says that. Not a happy laugh.. a disgusted laugh.

The only FBI agent I’ve ever known was a next door neighbor, 2000-2015.

He was creepy. Talked to our kids when they were out playing in the driveway, but went back to his yard work as soon as my wife or I came outside.

He used to landscape onto my property, and became indignant when told to move his flowerbeds back onto his property. Total weirdo.

The strangest things about him? He hated the Gadsden flag I flew starting on the day of Obama’s inauguration. he asked me about it several times.
