Roger Stone Indicted and Arrested
Is there any sweeter way to begin the weekend? New York Times:
The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, revealed on Friday the most direct link yet between the Trump campaign’s and WikiLeaks’ parallel efforts to use Democratic Party material stolen by Russians to damage the election campaign of Hillary R. Clinton.
In an indictment unsealed Friday, the special counsel disclosed evidence that a top campaign official in 2016 dispatched Roger J. Stone, a longtime adviser to President Trump, to get information from WikiLeaks about the thousands of hacked Democratic emails. The effort began well after it was widely reported that Russian intelligence operatives were behind the theft, which was part of Moscow’s broad campaign to sabotage the 2016 president election.
The indictment charges obstruction of justice, lying to the feds about contacts with Wikileaks, and witness tampering. Back to the NYT:
The indictment makes no mention of whether Mr. Trump played a role in the coordination, though Mr. Mueller did leave a curious clue about how high in the campaign the effort reached: A senior campaign official “was directed” by an unnamed person to contact Mr. Stone about additional WikiLeaks releases that might damage the Clinton campaign, according to the court document.
So, about that. It’s looking like Stone functioned as a conduit of information between Wikileaks and the Trump campaign by way of Steve Bannon:

This has been reported before, as the screenshots in that tweet show — but now the information is being confirmed by Robert Mueller.
Wow.
Here’s video of the pre-dawn raid:
Our President is taking it in stride:
Greatest Witch Hunt in the History of our Country! NO COLLUSION! Border Coyotes, Drug Dealers and Human Traffickers are treated better. Who alerted CNN to be there?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 25, 2019
While Trump and Trump superfans are accusing Mueller and/or the FBI of tipping off the FBI, all evidence suggests otherwise.
What an irresponsible thing to tweet with no evidence. The reporter who was there, @davidgshortell, said on CNN that the crew was staked out at Stone’s house this morning after CNN reporters noticed unusual grand jury activity in DC on Thursday & thought something could happen. https://t.co/E7KtkUjY1R

The initial video in this post explains further if you watch the whole thing.
Stone has been released on $250,000 bond and is defiant in a *checks notes* Nixonian sort of way:
Afterward, outside the courthouse, Mr. Stone vowed to beat the investigation, which he called politically motivated.
“There is no circumstance whatsoever under which I will bear false witness against the president nor will I make up lies to ease the pressure on myself,” he told reporters afterward.
“I look forward to being fully and completely vindicated,” he added, then flashed twin V-for-victory hand signs reminiscent of his onetime boss, former President Richard M. Nixon.

DCSCA (797bc0) — 1/25/2019 @ 11:20 amYou know, if Trump had been serious about having Hillary locked up, he would have put her on his campaign staff.
Chuck Bartowski (bc1c71) — 1/25/2019 @ 11:32 amCNN was at the scene of Stone’s arrest because they noticed “unusual grand jury activity”? If you believe that I want to sell you some land west of Santa Monica. You will need a sponge, because it gets damp there.

JRH (fe281f) — 1/25/2019 @ 11:37 amRead through the indictment. My takeaway is that Roger Stone is a f*cking idiot.
Leviticus (efada1) — 1/25/2019 @ 11:38 amYes that’s not mutually exclusive, I never liked him nor Alex jones.
Narciso (97514a) — 1/25/2019 @ 11:39 amYou know what you do when you’re doing Roger Stone Things and get called to testify under oath?
You take the 5th.
Leviticus (efada1) — 1/25/2019 @ 11:40 amI don’t know which is more bothersome… this Stone thing or the Clinton crew being instructed to save all emails, then deleting them and telling the Fed’s, “you’ll get the ones that are pertinent” (paraphrased), then being given immunity and assistance with destroying all drives on all devices?
Colonel Haiku (61b436) — 1/25/2019 @ 11:41 amI’d love Patterico’s opinion on the degree of force used, given that there was zero chance of violent resistance from Stone. Looks like sickening thuggery to me, and given the likely tip-off to CNN, an attempt to both intimidate others being investigated & taint the jury pool.
Brian (203161) — 1/25/2019 @ 11:42 amI do believe it. They knew a Stone crony had testified on Thursday and there is a pattern of grand jury activity on Day One (especially Thursday) and arrests on Day Two (often Friday). Nothing surprising here at all, in my view.
Patterico (e03271) — 1/25/2019 @ 11:43 amAn “I don’t remember”, or “can’t recall” seems to work well for Democrats. There may be a lesson in that.
Colonel Haiku (61b436) — 1/25/2019 @ 11:44 amAbsolutely standard, and since there is no reason to believe there was a tip-off, this is all unfounded conspiracy theorizing.
Patterico (e03271) — 1/25/2019 @ 11:45 amI think you meant “tipping of CNN”

Narciso (97514a) — 1/25/2019 @ 11:46 amActually you probably meant “tipping off CNN” sorry about the typo in pointing out your typo.
Time123 (441f53) — 1/25/2019 @ 11:47 amI’d always heard the things that went on in the grand jury process were cloaked in secrecy. I feel I’ve been misled.

Colonel Haiku (61b436) — 1/25/2019 @ 11:50 amIt’s always nice to see that the FBI has no knowledge of how the Internet works when it suits them.
But more seriously, I’m told that if the FBI wants to question you and you take the Fifth, they freeze your accounts, search your house and confiscate everything, and so on until you’re living out of a box – with your silence. And if you testify, then anything you say that disagrees with their opinion is obstruction of justice, perjury, and witness tampering. So it’s really a devil you do, devil you don’t.
Unless you’re in the in crowd. Then it’s all sweetness and roses and immunity deals; plus the occasional backalley murder or strangely detailed suicide.

Colonel Haiku (61b436) — 1/25/2019 @ 11:53 amIt is possible that CNN watched the courthouse where the grand jury is sitting (although they mayhave been tipped off to that and from that, other published reports, and maybe leaks deduced taht Roger Stone was close to being arrested.
If so, Roger Stone also probably deduced it himself, and anything incriminating wuld have bene gotten rid of long ago.

I honestly don’t get why anyone would think that pointing out Hillary was better at getting away with corruption would make me sympathetic to their cause. I didn’t want Trump to come in and even the score by getting away with corruption. I wanted him to make the overall system less corrupt. Saying “But the other team was able to get away with stuff” doesn’t make me think trump should get away with stuff. It makes me think you don’t care about the rule of law.
I’m not a hard core team “R” person. I generally support conservative candidates because they’re trying to accomplish things I want accomplished such as balancing the budget, limiting government to increase personal freedom, national defense and maintaining the rule of law. I support their efforts to do those things. I don’t support that they work with a hostile, foreign government to release stolen information in a way that helps team R win elections.
Time123 (441f53) — 1/25/2019 @ 11:58 am14 Patterico
It is possible. I doubt CNN was the only media outlet able to notice GJ activity. We don’t know how many Thursday testimonies were followed by Friday arrests and how many not.
The standard procedure for arresting an alleged white collar criminal with no history of violence and no flight risk is to ask his attorney to surrender him to the US Marshall at the courthouse.
Stu707 (a0c2d4) — 1/25/2019 @ 11:58 amI had a feeling she wouldn’t take today’s other big news story well, but geez, this is really hitting below the belt, even for her:
Dave (1bb933) — 1/25/2019 @ 12:00 pmIf that’s standard, we need to change standard practice. It’s not compatible with the American idea of government as a servant of the people. (But is it really so standard? Patterico knows about law enforcement matters better than I, but Manifort, for example, was permitted to turn himself in.)
Brian (203161) — 1/25/2019 @ 12:01 pmI know equal justice under law is such a quaint custom, Comey decides no prosecutor would indict and that’s that.
Hey there was a week of show trials of pro life teenagers just to show how even handed you can be.
Narciso (97514a) — 1/25/2019 @ 12:01 pm@ Sammy Finkleman – I think that horse has left the barn long ago. It looks like a pretty open and shut case of making false statements to Congress with regards to lying about the emails and texts he had. That’s already seized in evidence. My guess is his ego decided that he could get away with lying about the texts and emails and there would be no interest in prosecuting him. In my opinion, this is the Special Counsel creating a highly public public political lynching to show that it is still relevant.

Dave (1bb933) — 1/25/2019 @ 12:07 pmIn other news, it looks like that move by Nancy Pelosi to deny Donald Trump the ability to deliver a State of the Union message was a masterstroke, sort of. He couldn’t deliver it anywhere else and get the attention he wanted.
Trump has now agreed to sign a continuing resolution good for three weeks (this window covers the State of the Union message) abandoning even his latest bid, which was to include 3 weeks worth of funding for a wall.
The re-opening lasts till Feb 15 (the Feb 8 date slipped) after which they can start the clock all over again.
Federal government workers collect their jan 11 and jan 25 and Feb 8 paychecks – probably Feb 22 as well..
Sammy Finkelman (102c75) — 1/25/2019 @ 12:07 pm@ Dave – Ann’s always been one of those Permanently Enraged Commentators that exist on both the right and the left that have never spent a day actually making policy or being held accountable for making policy. Sometimes, she is spot on in highlighting the pass the buck/scratch my back culture that exists in DC. But, she’s never going to have to answer to the voters as to why its a good idea to have to shut down one of the busiest airports in NYC because of a lack of air traffic controllers to justify getting money for a wall, which I support.

Kevin M (21ca15) — 1/25/2019 @ 12:28 pm@ Sammy Finkleman -40 – You are correct. Pretty standard for shutdowns. I was told it takes about three business days to process back pay for one paycheck, so they should have everyone’s backpay done and the next paycheck out of the 22nd when this nonsense starts up again. What a way to run a railroad. I will say this; unlike during the 2013 shutdown when Obama did everything in his power to jam up the works to make the general public pissed off and support his position, Trump has done everything to minimize disruptions to keep the essential parts of the government running, albeit without paying the employees. This is why you had all the mainstream media stories on federal employees using food banks, etc.

Tillman (61f3c8) — 1/25/2019 @ 1:23 pmOne thing that you have to notice is that thus far, all the indictments have been either crimes created by the investigation itself, or completely unrelated crimes that occured before the Trump campaign. Now lying to the FBI is a crime, and certainly lying under oath is a crime. Just because an investigation yields nothing does not justify lying to the investigators. But it is disturbing that these special counsel situations seem to do nothing but generate their own crimes.

Come on, do just a little work to not embarrass yourself. From Hot Air (not exactly a leftie hotbed):
Hsu is the Post’s legal reporter and tracks Russiagate-related court wrangling. According to him, activity at the courthouse on a Thursday is rare — and the last time it happened it was followed immediately by indictments. Fridays, in fact, tend to be the day when most Russiagate indictments are made public. As Hsu noted, the GRU members were indicted on a Friday last July. Members of a Russian “troll farm” were also charged with trying to interfere in the 2016 election on a Friday last February.
So, yes it’s old fashioned reporting.
The thing about the conspiracy theories is that they create connections. Concocting scenarios is easier because they lead you to look away from what’s right in front of your nose: that members of the Trump team might just be, as Mr. Finkleman says above, witting or unwitting agents of the Russians, ordered, or asked, or through just plain naivety to let them (the Russians) help elect Donald Trump president of the United States.
You don’t want to let thought sink in though, as once you do it’s even easier to see connections, because they’ve been laid out by the special prosecutor, week after week, to the satisfaction of Federal grand juries and judges. All that information will serve you up a conspiracy you can actually believe in: Russia meddled in our Presidential election and was abetted by people all the way up to the top. The theory part is only where it stops… DonJr, or Don Senior.

Because in today’s world, an FBI raid for process crimes needs no defense. And, questioning the motivation for one is always circumspect.
There was a time, so long ago, when we looked askance at witness intimidation (which is exactly what this is).
Munroe (b21157) — 1/25/2019 @ 1:57 pmI’m really interested to read from Patterico & co-bloggers about the idea that we’re dealing with two different standards here.
Please understand, that I’m not absolving Stone for any of the process crimes he may have done. It is, indeed, a big deal.
But, how do you square the treatment of the likes of Trump’s orbit getting prosecuted, and yet Hillary Clinton and her staffers largely walked scott free?
So, yeah its good that Stone is getting the hammer dropped on him, because… no, you can’t lie/obstruct to investigators/congress.
But, the Bleach Bit dude and certain HRC staffers getting immunity deals… not to mention that HRC herself obviously lying to investigators during the email investigations, but suffers… nothing?
I mean, I can be convinced that Mueller is simply going after as much low hanging fruits as he can, so that the process crime convictions would justify the special counsel.
However, the double standards is simply jarring… is it not?
I’m not saying that we don’t prosecute the likes of Stone because HRC/staff got kids glove treatment. I’m just worried that this perceived double-standard (real or not) will further erode our justice system and by extension…our politics.
Let this be a lesson for future administrations regardless of party, never…ever…agree to form a special counsel.

happyfeet (28a91b) — 1/25/2019 @ 4:02 pmCome on, Kevin. Arrest after arrest. Conviction after conviction. And you still don’t get it?
Name someone who has been convicted of a crime that occurred during Trump’s campaign or later. And, no, I don’t count confessing to a made-up non-crime.
Stone is being charged with obstructing an investigation that showed that no crime occurred. This is about as weak as it gets. I would have to lie to get through voir dire (I wouldn’t) because my first thought would be jury nullification. Telling nosy coppers to bugger off when no crime has been committed — and they have no probable cause to believe a crime has been committed — is a basic human right.
Kevin M (21ca15) — 1/25/2019 @ 4:07 pmNo, it’s for OBSTRUCTION of “a travesty of a mockery of a sham”
Kevin M (21ca15) — 1/25/2019 @ 4:08 pmNot everything that hurts Trump is a good thing. There is collateral damage. In the case of Mueller’s attempts to distort the law and his use of a compliant press to spin nothing into something, the Rule of Law is being diminished, and more nails go into the coffin of the so-called Free Press.
People see the weakness of the charges, and see the liars of the press. More and more, they see that these institutions that they’ve been taught to trust are just tools, and being used by people who don’t much like them or their interests.
It’s really too bad when the Devil quotes scripture so loudly.

Agreed conspiracy theories are rarely valid. According to Hsu of the WP. activity at the Courthouse on Thursday is rare and indictments tend to be on Fridays. He cites 2 cases, one in July and one in February, where indictments were announced on Fridays. The defendants were Russian nationals not in the US.
White collar defendants with no prior criminal history, no history of violence or reason to suspect violence, not a flight risk, and who have submitted to interviews and/or testify to a grand jury tend to be asked to surrender at the courthouse. Grand jury proceedings are secret and only a believer in conspiracy theories could possibly think that information about a warrant would leak. (This is likely a conspiracy theory: “Horowitz said he planned to issue a report on the matter, as well as another one on leaks from the FBI.”) https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/justice-dept-inspector-general-fbi-director-face-questions-from-congress-on-report/2018/06/18/eee1842e-727a-11e8-b4b7-308400242c2e_story.html?utm_term=.ee7d3d60e471 In Stone’s case he was not asked to surrender, but was arrested in a predawn raid by some 30 FBI agents, US Marshalls and local police in full tactical gear. CNN set up its cameras prior to the raid. No other TV outlet covered the arrest.
I did not say anything about the allegations contained in the indictment or about other Special Counsel cases. I believe that everyone is innocent until proven guilty; and that Federal prosecutors do not seek indictments unless they believe they have enough admissible evidence to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty; and the prosecutor believes the defendant is guilty of the charge. I will wait and see what happens in the Stone case. I do not believe that “old fashioned reporting” explains CNN’s presence at the Stone arrest.
Stu707 (a0c2d4) — 1/25/2019 @ 8:55 pm@158 Should the organization people be excused because they are not the president?
It’s the other way around: You are comparing Bill Clinton himself committing perjury — a fact that is not in doubt — with a bunch of Trump sycophants and hustlers who have apparently committed perjury. Nobody is forgiving anybody here. But you are all up in arms because you apparently want to believe that just because a bunch of people who surrounded Donald Trump lied, it somehow works out that Donald Trump himself is proven to be as much of a liar as Bill Clinton. I’m telling you that it doesn’t work that way, even though we may eventually come to find out that Trump himself has run afoul of the law just like Bubba did.

I do, now, but I had to do it from the Greek.
nk (dbc370) — 1/25/2019 @ 9:09 pm@173 Ah, no, sorry, I didn’t mean that we know that Trump is or is not a perjurer. I am waiting on the Mueller report before I make a judgement on that. Things don’t look good for him right now, but there is a world of difference between things not looking good and there being an actual legal problem.
The point I was attempting to make is that if,during an investigation, someone lies to the FBI or Congress about something that is not otherwise a crime and one is outraged about it because it’s a lie to the FBI or Congress, it makes no sense to then, with a different group, not be outraged if someone lies to the FBI or Congress, even if it’s about something that isn’t otherwise a crime, unless it’s really just a partisan thing.

Nic, the difference is that had there been no Starr investigation, Clinton would still have committed perjury. In other words, it wasn’t a case of launching an investigation, then finding process crimes that would not have occurred had there been no investigation.
Also, the Paula Jones case in which the perjury occurred was not “something that was not otherwise a crime”, or is that how you think of sexual harassment?
Munroe (ae75bf) — 1/25/2019 @ 9:37 pmWhat he lied about was not otherwise a crime. The crime was that he lied about it. Monica Lewinsky has always maintained she absolutely consented to the relationship, so what we have is a consenting relationship between two adults. Gross, but consensual, so not a crime.

Also, please avoid using the inapplicable phrase “sexual harassment”. As governor of Arkansas, Clinton was a celebrity entitled to take certain liberties with Ms. Jones, or any other woman, if he pleased, and the preferred term for what she alleged is “locker-room talk”.

NJRob (77dd4a) — 1/26/2019 @ 5:57 am“Well, that’s because he’d rather have a puppet as the president of the United States,” Clinton retorted.
Trump shook his head and said “no puppet, no puppet.”
“You’re the puppet,” he said.
Clinton continued: “It’s pretty clear you won’t admit —”
Trump interjected again.
“You’re the puppet,” he said. “No, you’re the puppet.”
Clinton…”You are willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do,” Clinton said. “You continue to get help from him because he has a very clear favorite in this race.”

JRH (fe281f) — 1/26/2019 @ 6:39 amAfter all of that. All the accusations of kissing up to Putin during the campaign and since, Trump still meets with him multiple times…. without any witnesses, recordings or transcripts?? Seriously, guys. Get a clue.
And don’t forget that Trump’s favorite daughter and her husband are Jewish and Trump was the only President to actually implement a forty-year old law that recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital!

Yes and add to that that Trump’s Casinos have *already* been in legal jeopardy for laundering Russian mob money and that Russian banks are the only ones who would lend him money after 4 bankruptcies. *And* that Trump’s campaign manager was sharing polling data with the Russians. And a steady stream of lies about Russian contacts witht he Trump campaign. Some people will need it really spelled out before they believe what’s in front of them though.

Narciso (78e056) — 1/26/2019 @ 7:47 amYep, h8ers gonna h8!
“The incident at the Lincoln Memorial involving a group of boys from Covington High has become a national Rorschach Test. Some see a group of privileged white teens taunting a Native American with a peace drum. Others see a group of school kids who did little to nothing wrong.
People are entitled to disagree, but what is completely unacceptable is the level of violent imagery directed at kids by adults. The respected journalist Reza Aslan tweeted “Honest question. Have you ever seen a more punchable face than this kid’s?” A writer for Saturday Night Live offered oral sex for anyone who managed to punch one of the kids in the face. Trevor Noah let these school kids know that not only did “everyone” want to punch these boys out, but he did too. The list goes on and on.
The violent rhetoric escalated, as violent rhetoric tends to do. The entertainment news website Vulture had to fire a writer after he wrote “I just want these people to die. Simple as that. Every single one of them.” The school had to be temporarily closed as a result of death threats.
These are adults talking about harming children! It can’t be excused as a joke. It can’t be explained away as “the heat of moment.” Many threats and much abuse takes place in the heat of the moment. High tempers are no excuse.
All this has a highly gendered aspect to it. It is very hard to imagine Reza Aslan or Trevor Noah saying that they want to punch out a 17 year old girl. There has been a lot of talk about boys and “toxic masculinity” lately and conversations about masculinity are well worth having. But the Covington High incident shows that we are far too quick to believe the worst about boys and too quick to reach for images of violence in retribution for their perceived sins. What could be more toxic for America’s school boys than their having the sense that they are objects of suspicion and that adults are this ready to wish them harm?
When these high school boys move on to college, they will encounter a world where too many adults think that, because boys and young men are so dangerous, pain is actually good for them. The influential journalist Ezra Klein has written that college men (and only men) need to feel real fear before any sexual encounter: “Because for one in five women to report an attempted or completed sexual assault means that everyday sexual practices on college campuses need to be upended, and men need to feel a cold spike of fear when they begin a sexual encounter.” (A post in the near future will discuss the claim one in five women have been the victim or sexual assault of attempted sexual assault.)”

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 1/26/2019 @ 7:51 amI’m changing my mind about Sessions. I think he had his own agenda, such as more asset forfeitures, and he dropped the ball on other things such as Russia!Russia!Russia! and DACA.

Narciso (78e056) — 1/26/2019 @ 7:58 amThe influential journalist Ezra Klein has written […] men need to feel a cold spike of fear when they begin a sexual encounter.
Absolutely, positively, definitely, without a doubt, if it’s with one of the women Ezra Klein knows. There are any number of diseases without cure or treatment the man could catch.
But I don’t think that’s what he meant. I think he had been talking to Milo Yiannopoulos, who has advocated that college boys are better off staying away from college girls and instead getting oral sex from a gay man.

I’m not so sure about that. A memorandum that DACA, and ergo Obama’s executive order, was unconstitutional, just begged for litigation. I would just have had Trump sign a new executive order saying we now have the resources and we’ll use prosesutorial discretion to re-allocate them and faithfully enforce the immigration laws that Congress has passed.
nk (dbc370) — 1/26/2019 @ 8:07 amYes and that would have taken 18 months and longer look at the current court deliberation only judge hanen stepped up before, no one else in any other circuit, it doesn’t matter what the law is, it’s only about their power.

Neon Demon is one of those put-it-on-in-the-background movies filled with great images and fun dialog and boisterous lesbians and oh hi it’s keanu reeves but doesn’t seem to add up to anything what can be said to be a great film – but it’s still a fabulous exercise in whatever exactly it’s trying to achieve there

Dave (1bb933) — 1/26/2019 @ 8:37 am“The story of a group of white parochial school kids wearing MAGA hats heaping racist abuse on a dignified Native American Vietnam veteran sparked an inferno of indignation across mass and social media. The incident was depicted as an iconic example of toxic white smugness, as well as a recapitulation of the history of European conquest of the American continent from its earlier inhabitants. Respected journalists and public figures responded to the images of a “smirking” teenager with calls for violence against him, his classmates, and their parents. Even after the story was debunked, many commenters kept their outrage burning, and pointed to photos taken years before, involving none of the participants in the recent event, as evidence that the school– Covington Catholic High School, in Park Hills, Kentucky–is infected by a virulent racism that can be cured only by closing it, razing it, and sowing salt in the ground.” — Seth Barron
“Poorly sourced, slanted reporting has become the new standard among prestige media. Three weeks ago, a little girl, black, was shot and killed in a Houston parking lot; initial reports that the shooter was white turned a local police item into national news. The New York Times ran stories on the case for days, exploring the implications of targeted, race-based murder in an age of intolerance. When it emerged that the child was killed by two black gang members gunning for their enemies, coverage of the story ceased.”
“. . . Over the last year, we’ve seen a spate of cellphone videos capturing petty disputes amplified across social media and reported in the national media–as long as the footage depicts a white person complaining to or about a black person doing something relatively minor. Whether the incidents in question have anything to do with race is unimportant. Pushing the narrative that Trump has ignited a firestorm of white racism across the country requires a continual flow of stories making that point, regardless of accuracy or context. . .”

Trump says: “I don’t have those problems. Every day, just like clockwork, I have a bowel movement at seven o’clock in the morning sharp.”
Bolton says: “That’s great, Mr. President.”
And Trump says: “Not so great. I wake up at eight o’clock.”

A heart attack, with loss of ventricular function, will cause wasting and make a person, any person, look like Bill Clinton does. It will be further exacerbated by the statins, the blood thinners and the dietary restrictions, but it will happen without them too.
