Former Trump adviser Roger Stone was arrested in Florida following an indictment by a federal grand jury, Bloomberg News reports.

The indictment contains seven counts: one count of obstruction of an official proceeding, five counts of false statements, and one count of witness tampering.

Stone, who has taken credit for persuading Trump to get into politics, served as an adviser to Trump’s presidential campaign but left amid controversy in 2015.

The youngest person to testify in the Senate Watergate hearings at the age of 20, Stone – who is known for - among other things - a tattoo of Nixon's face on his back– was profiled in a 2016 Netflix documentary, "Get Me Roger Stone," which focused on his eccentric political career and painted him as the original architect of Trump’s political career.

The special counsel’s indictment comes amid scrutiny about the self-described “dirty trickster” and his alleged contact with WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange in the summer of 2016. Stone has told ABC News multiple times that he had never met or spoken with Assange and had no intermediary providing a back channel to communicate with the controversial Wikileaks founder. Stone will make initial appearance later today at the federal courthouse in Fort Lauderdale.

Here's the indictment document below:

This guy is not just an ordinary adviser, he has been in the political scene for over 40 years...

The great people Donald Trump works with...

Encircle Trump by nailing his allies. Smart from Mueller. We'll see were this goes.

Government opened and NO WALL. So much winning.

Government opened and NO WALL. So much winning.

He's keeping the powder of his "very powerful alternative" dry till Feb 15, apparently.

Now that government is back to working, the data blackout can finally be lifted and we'd know how well we did in the 4th quarter. I'm expecting some serious bad news, so don't you all forget to roast me if it turns out I'm wrong.

budaatum:

It's a smart thing to do now, he's simply putting the onus on the Dems, either they put up or shut up, either they're for border security or Not. Besides that he's giving himself more solid reason to declare Emergency (assuming The House fails again). We'll know by then.

Anduku:
With the state of New York legalizing abortion up until the moment of birth and celebrating the right to murder fully formed babies, I hope budaatum and co can now experience Nirvana since this seems to be their sole purpose of existing. This will not even be the last of the abominations that these evil liberals will promote and attempt to legalize because I have a very good idea of what is happening and I will only tell them that they are on a path that will ultimately lead to their destruction. Hope you enjoy your festivals of human sacrifices cos it won't last forever

They could kill whole babies but declare Border wall "Immoral"? It beats my imagination

The Roger Stone arrest was just political theatrics (hence CNN was there) to convince the idiot CNN viewers that the Mueller probe is making progress even though none of the charges has to do with Russia collusion.
THE BIGGER QUESTION IS
How are Hillary, Brennan, Clapper, etc not raided and arrested for the same offense of "lying to Congress"?

15 February soon come. I don't mind seeing if the next chapter matches your prediction. Personally though, I think he'd be stupid to pull this again so soon. But I expect to be surprised by Trump.

Very true, people are being charged for obstruction, lying to congress and all manner of nonsense by a special counsel who is supposed to be investigating collusion with Russia to influence US elections. Not a single person has been charged with anything relating to collusion. This is a clear political witch hunt, they are doing all these so they can put pressure on Trump's associates and see if anyone of them can give them something to nail Trump with. They don't have any evidence of collusion

You've said it all. Mueller and d deep state are desperate. They use GESTAPO tactics, threaten folks with possible long prison sentence just to make them flip and testify against President Trump. Yet not a single one on Russia Collusion. We've noticed a similar pattern with Flynn, Papaddapolus, Manafort, now Roger Stone - all charged with lying and other things EXCEPT RUSSIA COLLUSION. Nearly all of the charges were committed (except Manafort's tax crime) after The investigation started, not before the Investigation. They call it PROCESS CHARGES.

Spygate in a nutshell
Obama was spying on everyone before the elections of 2016.
Including Ben Carson, SCOTUS , Trump etc.
The NSA has all spydata on every call every email et all. That was accessible to various 3 letter agencies.
The FBI had granted access to private contractors access to the NSA database.
Fusion GPS was one of them . They hired Neil Ohr whose husband was the 4th most senior DOJ official. Fusion GPS founder Glen Simpson had hired Neil Ohr and believe it or not Glen and his wife Mary Jacoby way back in 2007 had fingured Paul Manafort as a lobbyist who had an article on Russian lobbyist with influence.
A never Trumper had hired Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Trump.
( In2012Obama had also hired Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Mitt Romney.

To be continued. More name dropping

The director of NSA Mike Rogers audit report led him to banning private contractors access to the NSA database in April 2016.
The DNC then hired Fusion GPS to dig up Trump dirt. Glen Simpson already had a dossier on Manafort whom Trump had then hired as Campaign manager for a short time.
Then the leak of DNC happened which the FBI never inspected the server but instead relied on Crowdstrike report to conclude it was Russians who hacked it. Crowd strike founder Suissman was a former partner of the Perkins Coie lawfirm representing DNC which had paid off Fusion GPS oppo research.
Fusion GPS took advantage of Trump asking jokingly for Russians to release the 33000 emails Hillary had deleted. They spurn a narrative. Trump colluded with Russian to hack DNC and give them to WikiLeaks

By now Mike Rogers of NSA has shut down private contractors from accessing the NSA database. To digress the likes of Fusion GPS Russian expert Neil Ohr married to Bruce Ohr the 4th most senior DOJ official had already seen a Mike Cohen in Europe .
They concluded that Trump had sent his lawyer to meet and conclude with Russian. Problem. This Mike Cohen was a Canadian not Trump's lawyer facing jail time.
Nevertheless Fusion GPS hired Cris Steele. Reason. They were desperate to continue the discontinued surveillance via FISA. Steele as a former spy wrote some memos to FBI so that they could obtain spying rights on the Trump campaign. They used Carter Page visit to Moscow to claim Trump campaign was colluding with Russian. The FISA warrant granted allowed the spy agencies to spy on Carter Page, whom hecommunicated to and those whom he communicated also communicated withn to. 3 levels. I talk to you, you are monitored. Those you talk to are also spied on. Those that are being spied on now talk to others and the whole chain is spied on. Meaning FBI could spy on Trump on the third level.
Carter Page who never meets Trump sends a text to Steve Bannon for example. Bannon has one on one with Trump and communicates with him. Trump is also wiretapped.
But hey Obama according to the media was the best POTUS who can never do wrong.

Cris Steele has sources who say Russia has kompromat on Trump. To make it look authentic FBI sends Russians linked agents to make contact with other members of the Trump campaign. This was George Papadopoulos who was contacted by Steve Halper,Alex Dawning ( who as Aussie minister gave Clinton Foundation 25m USD), Josef Misfud, Orig Derispaka
The agents feed back to FBi was used to collaborate Russia collusion.

At the same time Steele was getting his rubbish from Derispaka, Gaeta And feeding it back to FBI he was feeding the media, specifically Isikof Michael of Yahoo news who published an article alleging collusion.

Clinton campaign in the meantime was also feeding the FBI with claims of Russian Collusion. Bluementhal a Clinton Ally had a dossier similar to Cris Steele fed back to FBI claiming Russian collusion.
FBI legal counse James Baker l also met with Suissman (Crowdstrike) who told him a server in Trump Tower was pinging Alfa Bank of Russia. Baker forwads the rubbish yo Peter Strozyk. Turns out it was just some server sending spam mails to some email addresses.

Peter Strozyk the lead counter intelligence on Trump was busy texting his mistress Lisa Page an assosciate of deputy FBI director Andrew McCaabe on how they cannot let Trump win.
Hillary on the other hand is trumpeting that Trump is Putin puppet.
Multiple sources creating a collision narrative.
FISA warrant did not disclose that the dossier created by Glen and Co and made seemingly legal by Cris Steele a former M16 agent was unverified and hogwash.

When FBI knew that Steele was leaking to the media they fired him
However Bruce Ohr The husband of Neil Ohr continued meeting and passed on his findings to Pientka who did the FD302 forms and sent them to Strozyk to continue renewing the 3month FISA warrant on the Trump campaign.
(Pientka with Strozyk ambushed Gen Flynnt in the white house ).
Also John Brennan CIA director briefed Harry Reid on the fakewh dossier contents who then wrote a letter to FBI to demand investigation .
Which were created by Clinton campaign, laundered to FBI and ended up with Robert Mueller witchunt. I'll have more on Mueller conflict later, just to mention that all his investigator s are Clinton apologists including Andrew Weissman (who bankrupred Arthur Anderson only for SCOTUS to do a 9 to zero reversal).

The Clinton campaign created Russian collision and are using it to take down Trump. With media help , DOJ ,FBI etc the narrative thrives on and impeachment is swanky to liberals here.
O have feeling this will backfire badly on the Democrats with many spending time in jail in due time.
Peter Strozyk the smirking counter intelligence director said he will stop Trump and he also texted about an insurance policy.
James Comey the moral FBI director said Clinton did not handle classified info intentionally.
He had written an acquittal long before Hillary,Cherly Mills, Huma Abedin, were interviewed. Cherryl Mills was even allowed into the interview as Hillary's attorney while she was deeply involved in her home brewn server.James Comey said it's possible that some third party players hacked into her server.
The truth. In congressional hearing it was revealed that all emails sent to and received from her clintonemail.com had been copied to a Chinese address. Hacked.
The media can never say this because Obama administration was scandal free.And she was the chosen one.
That's why you see all this downplay of Clinton misdeeds, With the FBI sure she would win and all this corruption forgotten.

Spying. Gen Flynn. He was fired by Obama after a disagreement .
He was appointed by Trump as a national security advisor. Obama knew that Flynn knew too much, he expelled Russian diplomats knowing very well that Flynn would contact Kisylak the Russian ambassador, They had a transcript of his call with Kisylak.Which means the IC was already spying on Trump even after the elections.
During the inauguration period Peter Strozyk and Pientka ambushed him on his conversation with the Russian ambassador. Flynn did not have any attorney present, he thought it was a routine call from FBI during the transition.
This was in December 2016.We all know what Mueller is up to with Flynn today.


In January Sally Yates goes to WH to claim that Flynn had been in contact with Russian and could be subject to blackmail and that he had lied to FBI.

More proof of spying. Mike Rogers visited President elect on Nov 11th 2016. at New York Trump tower.
Note elections were concluded on 9th Nov 2016.
Trump immediately moved his transition team to New Jersey. Most likely because Mike informed him that he was under wiretap.
On 19th Nov Obama wanted to fire Mike Rogers

And Mueller even obtained all emails from the Trump transition period.
Ugly. This witchunt makes me sick.

I think I have made my case.
Russian Collusion was made up by Clinton campaign. I have named names and some chronological order.
I got all this info from the Internet Which main media will not report. Journalism thrown out of the window.
Thanks. The day I realised media has a narrative I burrowed deep into what they are hiding.
I found it. Media is untrustworthy. Fake news. in cahoots with Hillary to take down unpalatable Trump.

It's reported informally that Andy McCabe said this immediately after elections First we Bleep Flynn Then we Bleep Trump.
I see a vendetta here.
I can go and say that Trump knew James Comey was a traitor who didn't want him.
Trump true to form sought an opinion on whether he should fire the traitor. Rod Rosenstein adviced him to He fire him.
Trump fires James Comey
Then Rod Rosenstein appoints Mueller to investigate Trump on charges of obstruction of Justice for firing moral Comey.

anticlimax

Trump mean business unlike weak obama

I'm sure there's enough here for a Trump led administration to lock her up or at least mount an investigation. If only Trump had won the election and was Potus in 2019 I guess.

Abi o..When I say trumpsters think like buharists and they dont seem to have a brain of their own them go dey vex..Just like buharists,All they do is to complain and whine even when they are in power..

British Newspaper, The Telegraph, forced to pay the FLOTUS, Melania Trump, "substantial damages" for peddling fake news about her History. This payment included all her legal costs. They tendered an "unreserved apology".

**I hope others take notice. One of the sure ways of fighting fake news is standing up to them and hitting their wallets, good one from the FLOTUS**

Below is a copy of the letter sent to Mike Pence on November 18, 2016 by Elijah Cummings:

November 18, 2016



The Honorable Mike Pence

Vice President-Elect

Presidential Transition Office

1800 F Street NW

Washington, DC 20006

Dear Vice President-Elect Pence:

I am writing to raise questions about the apparent conflicts of interest of the Vice Chairman of the Presidential Transition Team, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who reportedly has been selected by the President-elect to be his National Security Advisor.

Recent news reports have revealed that Lt. Gen. Flynn was receiving classified briefings during the presidential campaign while his consulting firm, Flynn Intel Group, Inc., was being paid to lobby the U.S. Government on behalf of a foreign government’s interests. Lt. Gen. Flynn’s General Counsel and Principal, Robert Kelley, confirmed that they were hired by a foreign company to lobby for Turkish interests, stating: “They want to keep posted on what we all want to be informed of: the present situation, the transition between President Obama and President-Elect Trump.” When asked whether the firm had been hired because of Lt. Gen. Flynn’s close ties to President-elect Trump, Mr. Kelley responded, “I hope so.”

Flynn Intel Group apparently was hired by a company whose founder, Kamil Ekim Alptekin, is the Chairman of the Turkish-American Business Council, represents Turkey in the Board of the United States Nowruz Commission, and reportedly helped organize the Turkish President’s 2016 visit to Washington, D.C. Mr. Ekim Alptekin has described himself as being “committed to boosting Transatlantic trade and bolstering the commercial angle of decades-long Turkish-American partnership.”

On Election Day, November 8, 2016, Lt. Gen. Flynn published an op-ed in The Hill advocating on behalf of the government of Turkey, entitled: “Our Ally Turkey Is In Crisis and Needs Our Support.”[1] In that op-ed, Lt. Gen. Flynn wrote: “The U.S. media is doing a bang-up job of reporting the Erdogan government’s crackdown on dissidents, but it’s not putting it into perspective.” He also wrote: “We need to adjust our foreign policy to recognize Turkey as a priority. We need to see the world from Turkey’s perspective.”

Lt. Gen. Flynn also was paid to travel to Moscow in December 2015 and join Vladimir Putin at the head table during a dinner honoring the Kremlin-backed media network RT. During the event, Lt. Gen. Flynn gave a speech that was highly critical of the United States, stating, “The United States can’t sit there and say, ‘Russia, you’re bad.’” Lt. Gen. Flynn has stated that he was paid by his speaker’s bureau, LAI, but he has not disclosed how much he made or what entity hired LAI.

Lt. Gen. Flynn’s involvement in advising Mr. Trump on matters relating to Turkey or Russia—including attending classified briefings on those matters—could violate the Trump for America, Inc. Code of Ethical Conduct, which states:

I will disqualify myself from involvement in any particular transition matter which to my knowledge may directly conflict with a financial interest of mine, my spouse, minor child, partner, client or other individual or organization with which I have a business or close personal relationship. Where there is no such direct conflict, but there may be an appearance of a conflict, I will address this issue for resolution to the TFA General Counsel. I currently have no knowledge of any such conflicts.

In addition, a Memorandum of Understanding signed on November 8, 2016, by the former Chair of the Transition Team, Chris Christie, and White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough requires that in order to obtain non-public information, including classified information, the Transition Team must:

Require the Transition Team member to sign a statement representing that, to the member’s knowledge, he or she has no financial interest or imputed financial interest that would be directly and predictably affected by a particular matter to which the information is pertinent.

The Memorandum of Understanding also requires the Transition Team to ensure that each member “has agreed to abide by the Transition’s Code of Ethical Conduct, and has thereby represented that he or she has no conflict of interest that precludes the individual from working on the matters the individual has been assigned to work on with the EOP or relevant Department or Agency.”

In order to address this issue, I request that you provide the following information by November 28, 2016:

a copy of Lt. Gen. Flynn’s signed Trump for America, Inc., Code of Ethical Conduct;

a copy of any other signed statement by Lt. Gen. Flynn representing that he does not have a financial conflicts of interest provided either to the campaign or to the Transition Team;

a copy of any information provided by Lt. Gen Flynn to the Transition Team in order to determine his business clients and to vet any potential financial conflicts of interest; and

a copy of the Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Transition Procedures, signed by you as the Designated Chair of the Team.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this serious matter.

Sincerely,

Elijah E. Cummings

Ranking Member

...this presents a problem for Mike Pence…

...why? Because he claimed he didn’t know about Mike Flynn being a paid foreign agent up until the time Mike Flynn resigned and officially registered as a paid foreign agent...
