ReplyDeleteNotice how CNN justifies the SWAT team, gangbuster approach: “Obviously they didn’t know what was going to happen” Roger Stone shooting it out with the FBI? What a laugh!
ReplyDeleteObviously Theatre for the MSM to play on.
This is stuff law enforcement does when they don't have documentary or physical evidence of the crime they're tasked with investigating. I would bet this is a good sign for the president. We will see what shakes out.
ReplyDeleteIf Trump had any integrity or cojones, he'd pardoned Roger Stone before the end of the business day today.
ReplyDeleteThe cave on the shutdown answers the question. He is a made man
