The FBI Drops In(Or: Guess Who's Coming For Breakfast!)

Federal Law enforcement appears to be adopting methods more suitable for the KGB or Stasi.

CNN’s exclusive news coverage of Roger Stone’s arrest was a big mistake. It reminded sentient people of the Ruby Ridge, Waco, and Elian Gonzalez raids. Smirking CNN snowflake David Shorttail claims he had a “gut instinct” to show up before 6 A.M. at Stone’s house. CNN’s Alisyn Camerota told Shorttail, “You were there before sunrise. It came as a surprise to you.” She elaborated, “What's so fascinating is that we've talked to his attorney, the attorney didn't know this was coming. Clearly Roger Stone didn't know this was coming. You were staked out at his house, you didn't know that this was coming. Why were you there in position?” Shorttail responded, “Alisyn, it's a reporter's instinct.” No one outside the FBI knew this was coming. Yet David Shorttail was in the right place at the right time.

Odd huh? No phone call from muledeer's office requesting Mr. Stone turn himself in to answer the charges. They must have know about his arsenal then right? Reporters instinct huh? Bridge for sale!

They were too clever by half, as the Brits would say...............They looked like a bunch of Barney Fifes.........

I tuned in to cnn a few times that afternoon to see what they were saying. Every time I did they were spending more time trying to explain how they knew to be at his home when the fbi was there than anything else.

Mr. Whitaker is supposed to be in control of the behavior of Mr. Mueller’s office and Mr. Wray is supposed to be in control of his agents assigned to such a task.

If there was an intentional leak to create a spectacle (we all know that’s true, and the reporter is lying to the entire country), then that’s legally and administratively actionable and both the AG and the FBI director are responsible to take action. At the minimum, it should be in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

6 agents with assault weapons....locked and loaded.

Disgusting.

Something should be done about this.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Have we ever learned who tipped off CNN about the arrest plan???

I think someone somewhere broke some laws with this tip off.

Why?

Because, secrecy is a big part of efforts to arrest people. Supposed someone at CNN friendly to Stone told him the FBI was coming, and then Stone fled before he could be arrested. Is it still then just a non issue that the news media were tipped off??

[Brilliant]

Saw someone claim that there were more people involved in this arrest than in the Osama bin Laden raid.

[rktman]

So, you don’t think it was a hunch then? ;-)

[Sacajaweau]

Whoops...that’s 16 agents with assult weapons...not 6

“Alisyn, it's a reporter's instinct.”

These are the people who though Hillary was brilliant for turning $1000 into $100,000 in cattle futures or whatnot. You know, because sometimes things just work out really, really well for super smart people.

And other times, rich and/or powerful people break the law to do favors for those "super smart" people.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Is it true that more men and firepower were deployed to arrest Stone, than were used in the raid to take out Bin Laden???...

[rktman]

I can’t tell you. If I did.................

Ruby Ridge

He was a law-abiding, patriotic Green Beret who retired from the Army and went to live in Northern Idaho

They nearly handed him a life sentence

The goons came with a swarm of choppers, laying seige to the entire community

They murdered his pretty, religious wife, shooting her through the head with a sniper rifle as she held her infant daughter

They shot his young son in the back, killing him

But Randy surrendured and had his day in court

The Government Criminals claimed a major part of his life, now you see the old man

Evil always leaves bread crumbs to show that it is evil...maybe enough folks will be seeing a bit of Truth for a change...Evil wins when the goats aren’t challenged.

Anyone who would speak to the FBI at this point is collateral damage. If an agent asked me if that was my car parked in the driveway I’d tell him to F*** himself.

[grumpygresh]

FBI and DOJ are totally rogue and they are STILL actively trying to take Trump out.
Trump wake up! If he doesn’t act decisively he will be taken out. Trump is putting his own life and his family’s at risk through his own inaction.

[ManHunter]

“Gut instinct”? I think he meant indigestion, at least that’s what I thought when I saw it.

[Chewbarkah]

The “Bigger than Bin Ladin Raid” with bonus CNN leak should be a major gift to Stone’s defense, which I hope includes a claim of selective prosecution, requiring all Congressional Committee transcripts, Congressional internal communications, and external communications with the DoJ, FBI, and OSC. The unnecessary show of force to arrest someone charged with “misleading Congress” has no purpose other than to make a selective political statement.

Today’s FBI continues to look and behave like “Goons, Gangster & Grifters 4 Hire”
aka Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap!

I don’t know if that can ever be changed w/o firing everyone.
Were that attempted, or even seriously discussed, scores would be settled, vengeful, petty and destructive scores.
Can you imagine an agent like McCabe or Strzok going after people before their last day on the job? CIA-John Brennan, same story.
Oh...It’s already happened! Yet they still walk free.
