Dan Bongino: Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is demanding an FBI briefing on the arrest of political adviser Roger Stone who was recently charged by Special Counsel Robert Mueller with obstruction, making false statements, and witness intimidation.
Graham sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray yesterday and expressed his concerns over the tactics used during Stone’s arrest.
Stone was arrested in the early morning last Friday by armed FBI agents in full tactical gear.
In his letter to Wray, Graham wrote, “Although I am sure these tactics would be standard procedure for the arrest of a violent offender, I have questions regarding their necessity in this case.”
He continued, “The American public has had enough of the media circus that surrounds the Special Counsel’s investigation. Yet, the manner of this arrest appears to have only added to the spectacle. Accordingly, I write to seek justification for the tactics used and the timing of the arrest of Mr. Stone.”
Graham requested that the FBI brief the Judiciary Committee by Feb. 5. more here
SNIP: Why does CNN get to follow the FBI around like the film crew on COPS?
The shit is ridiculous. Even if that much firepower was warranted your’e going to bring a potential Gunfight of that magnitude into a residential area at 5:00 AM. With weapons that will travel 1000 yards. Not to mention these guys suck. Like I say, I alway kind of chuckle every time one of these things head south.
Yeah well, they are paying a big price now for that outrageous stunt.
A strongly worded letter.
Normally handled with a phone call to the subject’s lawyer. Don’t suppose there is any KGB fun in that though.
I heard it took fewer agents to take down Bonnie and Clyde.
Somebody posted that bullet to Bonnie and Clyde ratio….It weren’t
good shooting……The original Mag Dump!!
OH BULLSHIT!!!
THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY OR JUSTICE IN THE SWAMP!! IF YOU’RE A MEMBER, DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT!! OTHERS WILL STOMP THEIR FEET AND KNASH THEIR TEETH, BUT IT’S ONLY A SHOW FOR US COMMON PO’ FO’!!
THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS FUCKED!!!
SORRY LORD, AMEN.
I MEANT..SORRY LORD, I MISSPELLED GNASH. AMEN.
One of these days some RoboCop is going to get a facefull of 00 from a homeowner who thinks it’s a home invasion. The S in SWAT stands for “special” not “standard”. The militarization of law enforcement is not a healthy trend.
@The Deplorable TWP – These things ARE home invasions.
To hell with the “tactics” what about the “policy”??
I’m thinking if this guy rates a SWAT raid, my old crippled ass will probably get an airdrop from the 101st Airborne.
@Uncle Al
Oops, my bad.
Practice that line.
“One of these days some RoboCop is going to get a facefull of 00 from a homeowner who thinks it’s a home invasion”
That’s already happened several times. I believe, every time the occupant was found Not Guilty. A couple of them were wrong addresses. For the most part I’m pro cop, but I really don’t like the militarization of our police forces.
Glad to see Lindsey man-up, now that he is no longer John McLame’s bitch.

It’s called Waco. Why do you think CNN’s second director was rolling?
