Why Was Stone Arrested Instead of Being Asked to Surrender? gatestoneinstitute.org/13649/roger-st…
If there was no legitimate reason for the arrest and handcuffing of this presumed innocent defendant, what was the illegitimate reason?
The illegitimate purpose of the arrest was to intimidate the potential witness -- namely Stone -- into not invoking his constitutional right to remain silent, rather than to testify as a government witness.
As Judge T.S. Ellis, III, who presided over the Manafort trial observed: "You don't really care about Mr. Manafort's bank fraud – what you really care about is what information Mr. Manafort could give you that would reflect on Mr. Trump or lead to his prosecution or impeachment”
The @JewhadiTM ACLU has been absolutely silent in regard to the questionable tactics employed by Mueller. They, too, would have been up in arms had these tactics been employed against their favorite candidate and mine, Hillary Clinton.
Their silence speaks volumes about their partisanship and lack of neutral standards of civil liberties.
Congress must act to prevent these abuses from recurring.
