27 FBI agents with SWAT team raided Roger Stone's house at 4 AM. I want to see whoever called that one in prison.

[@DrDangerPuppy]

That's a lot of dollars. Whoever it is, while s/he's in prison, they need to work it off at federal minimum wage. Our beaches need more sand and we have plenty of rocks to make it from.

[@LA_Commander]

And don't forget it was that Muller team that informed CNN of the raid. That's why the CNN news van was there a FULL HOUR before the FBI even showed up. This was proven by outside security cameras. CNN would later lie to the public and claim they "were just in the neighborhood" and "just happened to be there" LOL

[@Susanne-qp8vj]

Let me recap. A violent mob, incited by the defeated candidate of a democratic election, storms a government building to disrupt the inauguration of the democratically elected president. The mob puts police officers and politicians in fear for their lives and injures several officers. As a reward for protecting law and order and the institutions of democracy. The people investigating this unbelievable incident subsequently lose their jobs. It sounds like a story from a very bad movie about the violent transformation of a democracy into an authoritarian state, following a model like Russia's, though of course, I could be completely wrong.
