WASHINGTON — Roger J. Stone Jr., a longtime informal adviser to President Trump who has spent decades plying the dark arts of scandal-mongering and dirty tricks to help influence American political campaigns, was arrested early Friday after an indictment was unsealed in the special counsel investigation. Mr. Stone was charged with seven counts, including obstruction of an official proceeding, making false statements and witness tampering, according to the special counsel’s office. Poster Comment: Good morning, all! More excellent news from Washington! Follow up on a previous story: Roger Stone's Legal Fund Perhaps having Paul Manafort as a cellmate/prison husband will convice Woger to squeal?? Instead of taking bets - I'll encourage everyone to waste your money by sending it here: https://www.gofundme.com/roger-stone-guts-fund I wonder what diversion the toad will come up with today? Bonus!!! There are three more indictments to be unsealed!!!! I can hardly wait!!!
"...George Stephanopoulos of ABC's "This Week" asked Roger if he would testify against The President, Roger was very clear: "There is no circumstance where I would testify against The President.."

It is going to be interesting.
Arrested and taken into custody by the FBI...... Seems serious....
Faggot alert? For posting FACTS? Attaboy cultist!
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Seems serious.... Things do not bode well for Donnie boy.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. You mean the country! You somehow forget President Trump has been the most investigated human on earth by every law enforcement group on earth and they have found nothing. So next step for the deep state you help is to separate Trump from all his friends. If the deep state can ignore laws for their side and enforce nonsense laws to shut up and take down political opponents then all good citizens should be terrified of an out of control government. What makes US different from other countries is our judicial system which is not perfect but for the most part the most honest system in the world(Which really isn't saying much). I suppose Stone will plead guilty for jaywalking and be given life without parole!
Blah, blah, blah...
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Good points Justified. Druggard doesnt' care because it doesn't involve drugs.
You're such an obedient little russian bot...
Nice tactic - Stone gets busted, I make a comment that things don't look good for Trump, and you post more of your delusional rantings. Tell me how this indictment benefits Trump?
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. It shows more bias from the deep state. Makes real Americans pissed off. Looks like traitors are going to force Trump to unleash the dogs of war and destroy the enemies within.
So says the aids receptacle.
OMG the only socialist/commie bitches are on the left. I use to think commies were far left but the commies have done such a good job of propaganda that its just left. All the evil socialist have to do is whisper into the easily led left is socialism is good capitalism is bad. Left hate the capitalism even though its been the greatest force for equality the world has ever seen and in reality socialism has done more harm than any political vehicle in history.
There is a war going on if you have not noticed. Socialist vs everyone else (Conservatives, libertarians, anarchist, moderate left). Giving aid to the left is aiding your own demise along with everyone elses demise.
Like so many other charges Mueller has brought, it seems most of these, at least, relate to things that occurred in the course of the investigation that relate to the investigation itself and not the subject of the investigation. Lying to investigators seems to be the most common charge Mueller has brought. Corsi has been accused of it, and he's responded with a criminal complaint against the Mueller team for attempting to compel him to commit perjury under oath. Is this the tactic that the Mueller team has employed against everyone else? Witness tampering.... Could that be doing something as innocuous as calling an associate to find out what's going on as soon as he got wind that that person appeared to give a statement that conflicted with Stone's recollections? Wouldn't doubt it.
"innocuous"? What has been reported about the basis for this charge suggests the actions taken by Stone were far more dangerous. Especially since Credico has already testified to these facts. Roger Stone was indicted on a witness tampering charge for his alleged attempts to sway radio host Randy Credico's story before he testified to Congress — even tapping into language from mob movies and citing disgraced President Richard Nixon, who Stone once worked for. Credico is identified as "Person 2" in the indictment — one of the people who was communicating with Stone about what Assange knew — his lawyer, Martin Stolar, confirmed to CNN. Stone has claimed that Credico, a progressive New York political activist and radio host, served as his backchannel to WikiLeaks during the 2016 campaign. Credico has denied that he acted as an intermediary. Over text message, Stone told Credico: "'Stonewall it. Plead the fifth. Anything to save the plan' ... Richard Nixon," prosecutors said. Stone warned Credico he would get "indicted for perjury" because he could contradict Stone's testimony. "And if you turned over anything to the FBI you're a fool," Stone told Credico later via text. Multiple times, Stone told him to do a "Frank Pentangeli," a reference to a "The Godfather: Part II" character who feigned innocence to Congress. He also called him "a rat" and a "stoolie," prosecutors say. He threatened to take away Credico's dog — a fluffy white therapy pet named Bianca who even later went with Credico into his grand jury appearance — and told him "Prepare to die [expletive]," prosecutors wrote. https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/roger-stone-mueller- indictment/h_44e55a498795f2bd7bc001f071a21b26 Elements of the Offense State statutes and federal law breakdown witness tampering in slightly different ways. It can vary from altering a witness' testimony no matter the means, to only criminalizing outright intimidation, coercion, or use of force. What is the same in all cases is that the government must prove all elements of witness tampering beyond a reasonable doubt for a conviction. Common elements include: Defendant attempted to make another person testify falsely, withhold testimony, or not testify or otherwise come forward with information. Defendant had reason to believe the other person was witness or may have relevant information. The information was relevant to a crime or civil action. An actual obstruction is not necessary as an element of proof. It is enough that the defendant performed the action to tamper with a witness. Unlawful Conduct Toward a Witness Witness tampering can take many forms, and will vary based on whether the proceeding is under state or federal law. It’s best not to think of prohibited actions as a narrow list, but any action that falls into the following categories: Physical Force: Using any type of physical force to keep a witness from testifying is prohibited, and commonly results in felony charges. Confinement is considered a use of force. Threatened Physical Force: Words, tone and gestures can combine such that threats of physical force constitute unlawful conduct. Shaking your fist at someone while saying you will knock them senseless if they testify against you, would likely qualify as witness tampering. Corrupt Persuasion: Prohibited behavior includes persuading a witness to change their testimony, and blackmailing or bribing a witness and attempts to keep a witness from testifying. https://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-charges/witness-tampering.html

The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.
