Roger Stone's staff declares he's been 'framed' and denounces Mueller use of 'gestapo's playbook'

Hours after Roger Stone's dramatic dawn arrest in Florida and indictment by special counsel Robert Mueller, his staff posted an image of their boss that asked, "Who framed Roger Stone," a reference to the 1988 Disney movie "Who framed Roger Rabbit."

Mueller used Nazi tactics by directing that Stone be arrested by a dozen armed FBI agents who hammered on his door before dawn, his staff said in an accompanying statement on Instagram.

"This morning's news is deeply saddening," the note said. "Robert Mueller's early morning raid was straight out of the gestapo's playbook. We must fight for Roger Stone ... now more than ever. If they can do this to Roger ... they are coming for us next! -staff"

Stone, a longtime associate of President Trump, was arrested by a dozen armed FBI agents and indicted on seven counts, including making false statements to Congress, witness tampering, and obstruction of justice, early Friday.

In a statement provided to CNN, Stone’s attorney said his client is “vindicated” by the indictment over lying to Congress and obstruction of justice because it proves there is no evidence of collusion with Russian in the 2016 campaign.

“They found no Russian collusion or they would have charged him with it,” Grant Smith said in a statement about the longtime associate of Trump. “Roger Stone is vindicated by the fact that there was no Russian collusion.”

The agents at the home were armed.

Were any weapons drawn at any time, anyone know?

I wonder if Mueller and the FBI will make it to Stone’s worse dress list next year?

The FBI is the American Stasi.

BOTH parties put an ineligible man in the White House who put people like Comey, Brennan, Clapper, etc. in as heads of every agency and turned them against the citizens.

Most of the elected GOP are there to protect and feed Fedzilla.

They are not on the side of the citizens, the rule of law and the Constitution.

The think the Dems are going to regret poking Corsi and Stone. Those guys are unconventional and likely to continue throwing bombs.

Making an arrest for a process crime on an individual not considered to be armed or dangerous is SOP...?

Or called his lawyer to arrange it at his law office. Isn’t that how it’s usually done for this kind of “crime”?

What they did in the middle of the night to a 66 year old man(With CNN watching since the feds tipped them off) was SO different than what they did to Elian Gonzalez, guns blazing, for what, where was Roger Stone going to go, was he going to flee the country..this 66 year old man was such an obvious threat they had to go get him at 3AM..and what was his supposed crime..instead of saying he had contacted Wikileaks ONCE he actually had emailed them and texted them a few times too..WOW so horrible..he should have gone with the “I dont recall” BS Democrats use all the time

The Dems want to change the narrative from Shutdown to Trump. Blood politics at the highest level.

Wow.

I’m wondering if that’s a violation of the FBI’s own procedures.

And they allied with CNN who was magically there with a full film crew. Wray is nothing but deep state stooge. I want to know who fed Trump that pick.
