to several episodes of the show "American Greed," which show the FBI making just that sort of early-morning arrest of various white-collar criminals who are either considered flight risks or likely to destroy evidence if they are notified.

But I guess it makes him feel important to question other departments of the government.

He was released on a signature bond. Stone has publicly predicted he would be arrested for months now. If he was going destroy evidence it would happened long ago.

"Tell it to the judge".

How could Mueller know if there wasn't recent communications with the other traitors?

BTW, a judge approved the warrant and it was a knock warrant to boot.

Graham has more of a problem with what CNN did than of the crime itself? It's called good investigative reporting. They didn't have to have the FBI tell them something was going to go down.

Typical Lindsay.....doing anything he can to remain relevant.

* Do you have a special relationship with Roger that amounts to your special interest in this case?

* Of all the cases of government prosecution, why does this one capture your lawyerly fancy?

* Please detail all of your acquaintance and involvement with Roger STONE, ever.

* Given the well known history of Roger - dating back to Roy COHN, Lee ATWATER, SHITLER, whatever mobsters we don't even know about, etc. - what aroused your sense of justice in this particular case?

*********There's *MORE* where this came from!

would use the level of force seen at Stone’s home are twofold: Authorities have credible evidence the arrestee has firearms on the premises or will destroy evidence if they don’t enter quickly.

White said Stone’s arrest suggests that the Special Counsel’s Office believed “there was a danger he would destroy evidence if he was arrested in any way that gave him a way to do so or an opportunity to surrender” ...

Stone was arrested just after 6 a.m. Friday. Although the arrest may not have taken any special judicial permission, White said, “the level of force they used rather than having him surrender, suggests they thought he’d destroy evidence” ...

Why should ANY criminal getting arrested have the option of "working through attorneys". Where was this twit when young black men are faced with cops breaking down their doors, terrorizing their families, tazing them. Poor widdle white man had to wake up early and I'm supposed to shed tears?

Graham would have said that we need to fully support our police officers because they have a difficult job to do.

But now this is the issue that is foremost on his mind.

How does this man get the people of South Carolina to vote for him?
