Roger Stone has been charged with seven counts - including obstruction of an official proceeding, making false statements and witness tampering, according to the special counsel’s office nytimes.com/2019/01/25/us/…
"STONE was contacted by senior Trump Campaign officials to inquire about future releases by Organization 1." justice.gov/file/1124706/d…
Well, this one's a real head-scratcher.
"An associate of the high- ranking Trump Campaign official sent a text message to STONE that read “well done.” justice.gov/file/1124706/d…

“On multiple occasions (...) Stone told Person 2 that Person 2 should do a ‘Frank Pentangeli’ before HPSCI"
This is big.

"A senior Trump Campaign official was *directed to contact Stone* about any additional releases...Stone thereafter told the Trump Campaign about potential future releases of damaging material by [Wikileaks].

Yep, it's true. The entire national security desk at BuzzFeed News has been disbanded.

It wasn't around for long, but for a year and a half we punched way, way above our weight and I'm fiercely proud of the work we did here under @markseibel.
If you have any State/foreign affairs opening and are not already contacting @emilyctamkin, you're doing it wrong.

There's so many reporters covering the intersection of national security and terrorism, but very few understand it - and @mitchprothero is one of the very few. Hire him before someone else does.

Mattis, standing with Nielsen, is speaking to troops at the Texas-Mexico border right now pscp.tv/w/brxQ5TM3NTQ3…
Mattis tells troops at the border "the eyes of the world are on you" and that it's the mission is "certainly non-traditional...generally we do homeland security overseas"
Speaking to troops deployed to Texas, Mattis is asked by a soldier whether they will have to take down all that concertina wire they've been putting up along the border since they arrived.

The livestream catches him saying "We'll let you know"

5 of the 39 units deployed to the border are public affairs units - public relations officers, photographers, media support staff. In less than a week, the Defense Department has posted more than 420 photos and videos of "Operation Faithful Patriot." buzzfeednews.com/article/verabe…
So far the US military is showcasing a burst of activity in 100s of photos/vids - troops arriving, building tents, stringing concertina wire.

Will be interesting if/when DOD's rate of media production slows to a crawl once initial work is done- the rest won't be very photogenic
Almost comical how many photos DOD posted of US troops stringing up concertina wire (not sure what that does to "defend" against migrants seeking asylum at points of entry). But then:

🔥#BREAKING Roger Stone Is Indicted AND Arrested in Mueller Investigation Into Trump Campaign nyti.ms/2Hurg8I #TrumpRussia
‼️FBI agents arrested Roger Stone at his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Longtime adviser to Trump, Stone was charged with 7 counts—obstruction, making false statements and witness tampering—over his communications with WikiLeaks & Dem emails. #TrumpRussia #MuellerInvestigation
Sarah Sanders, seriously: Roger Stone’s arrest and indictment has nothing to do with the president or the WH. Will the same standard apply to others who gave false statements like Hillary Clinton and James Comey? CNN is guilty of collusion. President Trump is tough on Russia.
