Mueller Indicts Roger Stone On Seven Counts

From Hot Air, a short item, with no reporter attribution, 25 January 2019.

The thing is, Mr Stone was arrested in a early dawn raid by a dozen Agents.  Why the massed raid when an invite to Mr Stone's lawyer could have had him show down today at some reasonable hour?  And the presence of the Press?  CNN, to be precise.

Here is the Tweet from Reporter Glenn Greenwald regarding the Press presence:

It's possible this tip-off came from FBI rather than Mueller's office, but either way, nobody should be comfortable having law enforcement engineer with media outlets the filming of someone's arrest at their home like a reality TV circus.  But it's Roger Stone, so few will care.

I care.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
