Roger Stone arrested by FBI and released on $250K Bond, live updates

Former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone is appearing in federal court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Friday after the FBI arrested him at his home. Special counsel Robert Mueller's office announced the arrest and indictment early Friday morning.

Stone has been indicted on seven charges: one count of obstruction of an official proceeding; five counts of false statements; and one count of witness tampering. The indictment doesn't allege that Stone conspired with Russia. It does claim that Stone was in communication with top Trump officials about WikiLeaks and obstructed the House Intelligence Committee's investigation into Russian election meddling and whether there were any ties to Trump associates.

Mueller to his agents “get me Roger Stone”

[jimessinger]

I hope they revoked Stone's passport and have an APB on points of departure. Otherwise, he'll be sipping a beverage in Moscow soon.

My momma always said "Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you what you are."

Secretary of commerce Wilbur Ross will not understand this.

[bigdaddygoon]

They actually gave him a bond I can't believe it

Don't you just love Robert Mueller? That's if you're not a Trump or a Trump associate or a co-conspiring congressional or senatorial Rethuglicon.

01:30 "abdication', again, it is NOT 'abdication' it is ABROGATION!!!
This word is used so often in error in US media.
'Abdication' is when a king steps down from the throne.
'Abrogation' is dereliction of duties.

Mueller is like Thanos. Bring me more stones.

Never ever get caught claiming that your co-conspirator is innocent if you want a deal.

[janeprendergast]

I never thought I would see a team of FBI agents dressed as if for combat arresting a high-level politician before dawn. We surely have gone down the rabbit hole or through the mirror. Did we really elect a Russian agent as our president? That was unthinkable...until now.
