Crime Get me Roger Stone (for obstruction, lying, and witness tampering) (SCO thread v. 28)

[Quipling]

16 and 26 are my personal favorites. Looking forward to 36

"urine trouble"

ah yes, a fellow man of culture.

Mid-Air Collusion is still my favorite

I don't think we should assume anything. There are ways to be "tipped off" that something big is going down without an FBI conspiracy to leak to Daddy's enemy.

Shit they could had someone outside FBI headquarters seeing them gear up for a raid. There are so many possibilities that the knuckle draggers keep clinging to the Muh CNN point is retarded.

 

[Ophydian]

I've never seen anything out of him to back up the claim that he's highly intelligent. He's actually handled himself quite poorly through this whole investigation. Smart people tend to not be so loud.

Is it your position that Stone will not be convicted?

Likewise we’ve come to learn any time Trump has to unsolicited tell you something about himself it’s probably a lie.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

Haven't read the thread, but started at the end. Do you mean to say that CNN was NOT deliberately tipped off when they were there waiting to film by 5am, an hour before the feds arrived? You can try to sell that somewhere else, because it's obvious and nobody with a brain in their head would buy any other explanation.

They weren't.
I saw an interview with the journalist who was there, who stated that they knew something was happening because of activity at the court, and they'd been staking the out the home because they had a man there most of the time since he's been expecting they indictment for months.

He borrowed lots of money to buy some taxi medallions, and then turned around and put them down as collateral to buy more. Then Uber/Lyft happened and he was completely fucked. Not sure if he broke the law there or not.

Ok I was 50/50 that he spelled taxes wrong

One of the reporters on CNN said it was also because Stones lawyer took his briefcase and left D.C. on Thursday.

I love how everything is a conspiracy theory with these guys. The simplest explanation is that they had a reporter staking out the house, but it's got to be a conspiracy.

 

[sickc0d3r]

A continuous stakeout is outside the realm of possibility?

No way, because if there's one thing we know for sure it's that Roger Stone's involvement in this investigation took everyone completely by surprise.

Stone is definitely hardcore, but the dude loves to party.

He will face a choice of spending the remainder of his life behind bars or the remainder of his life a free man who can do blow and fuck hookers.

Methinks he chooses the latter when the rubber meets the road. If he really goes down swinging, god bless the man for his misplaced loyalty but that would be stupid as fuck for him to do to himself and his family.

He could be banking on a pardon. Besides, in prison he can finish that Nixon back piece for the price of a few cigarettes..

You act like it was one guy. They probably had him and at least 10 others there for cameras and crew and lighting, that wasn't a continuous thing for months, man. Wise up. Think what you want I guess, but they were clearly notified by Mueller that it was "going down" and then sent in dozens of agents and vehicles like they were expecting Roger "El Chapo" Stone's personal army to resist or something? Please. That was a planned show and they wanted to be sure their allies had the scoop.

 

[PHATV]

Maybe not but saying it was a leak from an investigator can't be corroborated.

That's how leaks work, but they are the only ones who could leak it, right? Mueller's team of Hillary supporters are the only ones who knew, so...

How many people have you arrested?
That was standard procedure for an arrest.
Stone committed crimes and you are more focused about CNN recording his arrest.

Normal person: "Another member of the Trump circle is arrested. Sure seems to be a lot of people in Trumps inner circle getting arrested. "
Trump Lickspittle: "Derp, CNN. CNN recorded it. Deep State, Hillary, Pizza, CNN, Bill is a rapist, CNN, Deep State, Fake News, TDS, CNN"
NP: "Are you OK"
TL : "CNN Bro!"

That was standard procedure? Notify CNN and have that massive of an undertaking/show for a guy you could have asked to turn himself in that day and he would have? OK, then. Carry on, I guess.

Still wrong. You still are purposefully not grasping the concept of a local beat reporter at the court house or satellite offices. Why do you care so much about this angle that you are being purposefully obtuse to the reality of it all?

You're assuming they "notified CNN". Can you show a source for that, or is that just how it feels to you?

I don't care much at all, but if you want to ignore an obvious fact (CNN was told to be there), so be it. It's obvious to any "normal person".

There is no other explanation unless you want to get VERY creative. I'm not assuming anything, you have to make assumptions (at the very least---more like stick your head in the sand) to see it any other way.

No, its only obvious to people who are completely ignorant of journalistic practices. You are projecting. Just because you are ignorant, doesn't mean everyone is.

I’m pretty sure they were covering a event close by and saw the fbi/swat team which was unnecessary.

lol @ "journalistic practices". I may know a little more than you give me credit for, but why don't you educate me as to why there would be a crew of a dozen CNN people (at a minimum) in front of his house an hour before the feds arrived. Luck? They've been there for months? C'mon, man.
