    I believe you believe that. I don't stay hooked on this story but believe that Stone is only accused of crimes committed after the election and related to how he reacted to Mueller.

    I'm with Dershowitz.

    You should rethink that. Dershowitz is senile; you are not.

    Yes, Stone was indicted only for post-election cover-up crimes. Not sure how that makes it better? I guess if one believes he lied for no reason whatsoever?

    Lol at senile. Really? Dershowitz has said the same stuff since I was a kid. Now liberals hate him. Again, lol.

    It makes the raid of Stone look even worse. We're crying about a shutdown at the time and we're spending how much to arrest a guy who signs his name to be released and is on talk shows hours later?

    It is just silly on every level.

    The dumbest thing these people have done is not plead the fifth at every question.

    I don't know about when you were a kid, but what he's saying now about the law just isn't true in many instances. I didn't watch your video (I'm on a plane) so I'm not speaking of that in particular.

    Well, since the FBI wasn't getting paid at the time, you could say the manpower level was irrelevant.

    The reason for the raid was presumably not because he's violent and dangerous, but to keep him from destroying evidence (and to collect it).

    I don't know, the competition for dumbest thing they've done is pretty stiff...

    I can't take people seriously that say they weren't getting paid as if they weren't ever going to get paid.

    These people I feel bad for short term.

    I'm jealous of the ones who got to stay home and get back pay for nothing.

    Lol at our government...again and again.

    Here is a better song to describe our current situation. Aplogies to Bad Religion, I don't think they mean exactly what I do.

    Yes, my reference to that was mostly a joke. I (and they, presumably) knew that they'd get paid eventually.

    You could get yourself a government job, if you are jealous of the fun they are having.

    Wife and I have two years of living expenses in savings now. Not counting 401k and such.

    I expect most of these employees have cable tv and a 130 dollar a month plus cell phone bill.

    Us...no cable and my phone is 40.

    Wish our government would budget like we do. I'll budget like them and go buy a new Bentley.

    Alex Jones and Roger Stone visited a gun range to prepare for civil war if Trump is removed from office

    Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and Roger Stone, a conservative pundit who has advised President Donald Trump for decades, visited a shooting range to fire weapons in preparation for a civil war in the event Trump is removed from office.

    The visit was documented in a nearly one-and-a-half-hour-long December 19 video posted to Jones’ YouTube channel with the title “Roger Stone Prepares For Civil War After Trump Is Removed From Office: LIVE AUTO GUNFIRE.”

    Jones set up the video by explaining that when Stone “was recently asked by TMZ what happens if Trump is assassinated or overthrown, he said it would cause a civil war.”

    Asked to spell out his comment to TMZ, Stone, who is a contributor to Jones’ Infowars website, said, “We do not advocate violence or foment violence, but if there is a coup d’etat, if there is an illegitimate unconstitutional effort to remove Donald Trump on trumped-up charges by a biased and partisan prosecutors (sic) or an illegitimate takedown by the 25th Amendment, there will be a civil war in this country.”

    “The Trump constituency has been awakened and they will not be put to sleep,” added Stone. He then said that he was at the shooting range to practice self-defense for himself and his family, but also to “defend the Constitution” if it is necessary.

    Jones and Stone then entered the shooting area and fired an array of semi-automatic and fully automatic firearms, including one equipped with a silencer. At one point, Stone violated a basic safety rule by putting his finger on the trigger of an Uzi submachine gun before he was ready to shoot, causing the instructor to repeatedly remind Stone to take his finger off the trigger before physically removing it. Stone also remarked that he couldn’t see where the safety was because of the glasses he was wearing. While firing the weapons, Stone and Jones joked about shooting “commie dogs” and making a “JFK throat shot,” and Jones joked that Stone is “our Rambo” to “take on the globalists.”

    Nothing wrong with owning or firing guns.

    Nothing wrong with doing coke or whatever the hell Roger was on.

    But the possibility of drugs and guns is a concern for all involved.

    Roger Stone was arrested without incident. No harm came to him, his family, or the FBI agents.

    The raid and arrest was a success.

    Oh, so it was an even bigger mistake than I thought. Now I know they should have arranged it for him to turn himself in.

    A full swat team showing up before dawn doesn't diminish the risk of coked up Stone shooting AK 47s at everyone.

    Maybe even pick the guy up when he leaves his house.

    No! We gotta show that psycho who's really in charge.

    Maybe they found the pee tape and I'm wrong. Doubt it.

    They actually did use more FBI agents in this predawn take down than the Navy used to take down Bin Laden. I don't think a serious person anywhere could possible
    calculate the risk to be anywhere near on the same level. With CNN primed and ready on the scene, this was a public relations stunt to please and appease the mini minds that could care less about due process or how chicken shit the event. It is about justifying the special council and continuing with the back up plan B after losing
    and election. It looks just like a Gestapo raid to me, I fear for my country surrounded by people that cannot see it for what it is. I am heavily out number by those in that miserable camp. Who in the hell at justice planned and authorized this display with CNN? I sure don't think they see themselves as part of the Executive branch of the government. So what are they in relation to our Constitution?

    I think CNN probably made a wise guess about the pattern of previous indictments but the rest I agree with. I wouldn't be surprised if someone tipped them but it wasn't necessary.

    Perhaps. But this show would go for nothing, unknown, unappreciated without CNN. The tip came from somewhere. No one else was that intuitive.

    It was a complete show. The language they used is hilarious. A guy who went public telling us all he would possibly be indicted.

    From an AP article....

    In court papers, prosecutors wrote they had concerns that if Stone was tipped off to the indictment, it would increase the risk he would flee or destroy evidence.

    Hilarious!!! One article I saw where he said he thought he might be indicted was June of last year. In that time he couldn't plan his escape and just didn't have the time to destroy the evidence.
