FBI GONE BONKERS

At one time I had the utmost respect for the FBI. That was in the J. Edgar Hoover era. I even had a couple of FBI buddies who sponsored me for membership in the Elks Lodge. That respect began to wane with every passing day after Hoover’s death. On Friday, I lost what little respect I had left for the FBI.

Roger Stone was a former longtime confidant of President Trump. Special Counsel Robert Mueller obtained a multi-count federal indictment against Stone related to the Wikileaks matter. One would expect a couple of FBI agents or U.S. Marshals, or even a couple of sheriff’s deputies to serve the arrest warrant at Stone’s Florida home some time during the daylight or early evening hours.. But that is not what happened.

In the predawn hours on Friday, a SWAT-like FBI team wearing full-body armor with assault rifles at the ready, raided the Florida home of the 66-year-old Stone. An agent pounded on the door and shouted, “FBI! Open the door! We have a warrant!” Stone opened the door, and with a bunch of flashlights beaming up his face, admitted who he was. He was led away in custody, the arrest having been made without a whimper.

The FBI appears to have gone bonkers. Stone was not an armed fugitive. He was not one of drug lord El Chapo’s henchmen. He was not a dangerous Mafia mobster. He was simply a political operative.

If Stone goes to prison, he will not serve time at the supermax prison in Colorado where Islamic terrorists, Mexican drug cartel members, ‘Unabomber’ Ted Kaczynski and other dangerous criminals are doing time. Stone will serve his time at a minimum-security prison along with millionaire white collar lawbreakers.

I cannot fathom what possessed the FBI to conduct such an atrocious raid.
