Watch the video I posted of the Stone arrest. Many agents going in with Assault rifles at the ready like they were going after an armed killer or a drug cartel member.

As I said Drama for the masses and silly.
Is it really though? Ordinary people getting raided by FBI for same crime would get the same treatment. Only difference is there's rarely media coverage of raids on ordinary people.

I think people genuinely don't know the level of force employed by police routinely when executing search warrants. I imagine he probably saw it and thought it was crazy over the top, and in a lot of ways it is, but that's just how cops in America do things so if you don't like it being done to roger stone the best bet is to probably get it stopped more generally.

What we do know is Trump was treated no where near the same as Breonna Taylor. That was a real raid with lies by police in the avadavat to obtain the warrant.

Very likely they waiting for him to not be at Mar A Lago during this warrant.

I mean it's not a mystery as to why conservatives went from 'back the blue' to 'defund the FBI' so quickly, and it's the same reason. Conservatives like police violence so long as that violence is directed towards the right people.
I just can’t put a finger on what you mean.

Seems analogous to the general carelessness of the prison service regarding suicides, and the Epstein case.

or he is going to say “Donald was very, very irresponsible handling these documents”

Would be epic if the timing was better.
I almost wish he would have castigated the fuck out of how horrible a custodian of national security secrets he is, and all it's implications. Then, say, all we wanted was to get this very dangerous national security material back in custody. You're fucking free, no charges, asshole!
