Former Trump campaign advisor Roger Stone is not happy about the FBI arresting him last week in what he said was with “greater force” than was used on Osama bin Laden.
“I’m 66 years old. I do not own a gun. I do not have a valid passport. I have no prior criminal record. I’m charged with nonviolent process crimes,” Stone told reporters outside of his home Monday.
“To storm my house with greater force than was used to take down bin Laden or El Chapo or Pablo Escobar, to terrorize my wife and my dogs … It’s unconscionable.”
Stone said he would’ve voluntary turned himself in if the FBI contacted his attorneys. “I would’ve been able to wear a suit and tie for my mugshot, it would’ve looked a lot better.”

Stone also peddled the conspiracy that CNN was tipped off by the FBI to film the arrest outside the house. CNN explained that their reporters noticed unusual grand jury activity leading up to the arrest.

Stone has been indicted of seven counts: one count obstruction of an official proceeding, five counts of making false statements, and one count of witness tampering.

Stone is a long time friend and supporter of President Donald Trump and has promised to stay loyal to the president throughout his proceedings.
Has anyone informed Stone that Escovar and bin Laden were killed during their raids? He really should not be concerned about his mug shot in a navy blue golf shirt—El Chapo has on the same shirt when he was taken into custody in May, 2018. https://newyork.cbslocal.com/video/3344361-joaquin-el-chapo-guzman-arrested/
