This morning brings news that Roger Stone has been charged in a seven-count indictment handed up by the grand jury in the Mueller probe: one count of obstruction of an official proceeding, five counts of false statements and one count of witness tampering.

And in the case of someone like Carter Page who is innocent but who had to face the wrath of the Counsel that resulted in much of his personal and professional life being destroyed .... deeply troubling.

Robert Mueller Will Indict a Lot of People in the Next 60 Days: ‘They Will Be Quite Familiar to the Average American,’ Says Former CIA Director
The pure theatrics of this show-raid are infuriating. 17 vehicles. 29 swatted up federal agents - armed/armored heavy. Weissmann's history of overreach and overTURN. CNN tipped off, ready and waiting to catch it all up close and live TV. A fucking circus.
All to have Stone come in and sign a ZERO PAY surety bond. And then go back home.
DANGER!
SCARFACE!
