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.”

It will be a miracle if Trump is still POTUS by 2020 election period. Mueller and Co. plus the shutdown over that wall may spell the end...Impeachment/Conviction and caving be do the trick.

Why is President Trump allowing this?

He has no say in it.

Fedzilla is beyond his control.

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

More than likely, because everything else they've done since this all started hasn't been regular FBI procedure.

Mueller = sedition.
FBI = sedition.
DOJ = sedition.
They are all dirty, every one.
Remember this next time you vote or have jury duty.

Searched his home? Better had a search warrant because a search can be incident to arrest around the person being arrested solely for potential security problems, not for looking for evidence.

My partner and I arrested a mid level boss in one of the crime families in NY on a serious felony, not a process crime, and we did it without guns drawn or with the news media present. He was arrested, cuffed, searched on gone in two minutes. This is nothing but complete theater and BS.

Good. I’ve never liked Stone (he comes off as too much of a self-important kook), but telling Mueller to go eff himself is commendable.

For Mueller it is, since he is a bona fide terrorist.

Mueller has a history of timing announcements to try to undercut Trump.

In order for that to be true, Muller must have a spy or mole inside the Administration to tell him that Trump is about to make a big announcement.........................Who could that be?................Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....................

The founding fathers would throw this den of thieves out if they knew what they fought for.

They would have already burned their houses down and hung their extended families.
