Lindsey Graham Has Some QUESTIONS For The FBI

Last week, A 66-year-old man who is in NO WAY a physical threat or flight risk was AMBUSHED in his home by an FBI team with full gear, grenades, and drawn firearms.

His deaf wife, who easily could have been surprised by the situation, was upstairs with their dogs… She could have easily stumbled into a HORRIFIC situation. (This is why you don’t storm someone who is NOT A THREAT’s home with GUNS DRAWN.)

All this over PROCEDURAL CHARGES.

Conservatives, and anyone with a working BRAIN, have noticed. Lindsey Graham has several questions, and they speak for themselves:

Today I wrote to the FBI about the arrest of Roger Stone.

My questions include:

1) Why was it necessary to arrest Mr. Stone at his home in the early morning hours, rather than working through his attorneys to permit him to surrender voluntarily?

2) Was the manner of Mr. Stone’s arrest consistent with the arrests of, and procedures for the arrests of, similarly charged individuals?

3) Were usual procedures for obtaining and executing arrest and search warrants followed with regard to Mr. Stone?

4) Did the Special Counsel’s office issue a press release and release the indictment to the press prior to informing Mr. Stone’s attorneys of the arrest?

5) Did anyone at the FBI, DOJ, or the Special Counsel’s office alert CNN, any other media outlet, or anyone outside of law enforcement that the arrest was going to occur on the morning of January 25, 2019?

Since his appointment, I have supported Special Counsel Mueller’s ability to conduct his investigation without interference.

Moreover, I have always been a strong admirer and supporter of the FBI.

However, while I firmly support law enforcement taking into account threats to officer safety, flight risk, and the need to ensure evidence is preserved…..

…..I am leery that a subject of the Special Counsel’s investigation, who had retained counsel, had publicly stated that he believed that he would at some point be indicted, and was apparently willing to surrender voluntarily, was arrested in a pre-dawn raid at his home.

Although I am sure these tactics would be standard procedure for the arrest of a violent offender, I have questions regarding their necessity in this case.

I look forward to answers for these.

Will we get them?

I won’t hold my breath.
