Something struck a raw nerve in this country when 26 agents showed up with automatic weapons drawn in a pre-dawn raid to arrest Roger Stone, terrorizing his deaf wife. Suddenly, all the mumbo jumbo about special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation being objective and focused on national security melted away in the face of a police-state action so completely inexplicable.
There could be no real excuse for such a potentially dangerous, life-threatening action except to use police power for the purpose of intimidation, under the color and cover of law.
Imagine the outcry if 17 vehicles and an amphibious unit had shown up to take one of Hillary Clinton’s aides into custody for lying about whether she had a mail server. Or to pick up disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner’s laptop. The outrage would have thundered across the country, echoed by the mainstream media. Civil libertarians would have jumped on the bandwagon. Congress would be calling for more supervision and restraints on the power of Mueller and his office.
Now, Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee who put former Trump presidential campaign chairman Paul Manafort in jail without bail and gagged him, is considering putting a gag order on Stone, a former Trump campaign operative. She said this is a criminal trial, “not a public relations campaign.” So what was CNN doing at Stone’s arrest and how did they get there? The arrest and indictment of Stone are evidence of a very public relations-conscious prosecutor. What were the indictment of Russians beyond the reach of prosecution about, if not PR?

1. Stone’s neighbor gave affidavit stating the CNN truck was there 30 minutes before the raid.
2. The CNN producer at the scene worked for Comey when he was FBI chief.
3. Video shows that at least 2 FBI agents went past CNN reporter without stopping to question him indicating that they knew the purpose of CNN. Any explaination that this was an oversight is ridiculous.
4. The neighborhood was otherwise cleared of onlookers during the raid.
5. The excessive use of force was in fact deemed unnecessary as the judge released Stone on a signature bond only several hours later.
These are despotic police state tactics of the first order. This is indirect evidence that a coup d’état is ongoing. The FBI cannot be trusted. There are too many Deep State traitors and the rank and file will “just follow orders” a la Nuremberg.
