The early morning arrest of Roger Stone is fishier than a seafood market.
How did CNN "just happen" to be on the scene to record the arrest? I was wondering about this even before everyone else over the web asked that question.
In Newsmax, Greta Van Susteren was wondering too:
Greta Van Susteren on Friday speculated that the FBI might have told CNN that they were about to arrest longtime Republican operative Roger Stone, and allowing them time to film it.
The FBI arrested Stone Friday morning on charges involving special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, including obstruction of justice, making false statements and witness tampering.
CNN had a camera crew on the ground outside Stone’s residence in Fort Lauderdale, Florida when he was arrested, prompting van Susteren to wonder how they knew to be there.
“CNN cameras were at the raid of Roger Stone...so FBI obviously tipped off CNN...even if you don’t like Stone, it is curious why Mueller’s office tipped off CNN instead of trying to quietly arrest Stone; quiet arrests are more likely to be safe to the FBI and the person arrested,” she tweeted early Friday morning.
She later admitted that "others" could have tipped off CNN.
Also, the "spectacular guns drawn" arrest of Stone was quite a bit over-the-top given the alleged offenses he's charged with.
A deputy district attorney I know said this about the Stone arrest:
Really?!!! With guns drawn for a freaking perjury type of offense?!!! And one he knew of and had a court date for this morning anyway?!! The FBI is out of control! We would call for discipline on an officer or group doing that here.
