TOENSING: Why Did Christopher Wray Allow Mueller Gang To Use 29 FBI Agents On 66-Year Old Roger Stone?<\/h1>\n

by Victoria Toensing<\/p>\n

Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Wray should hang his head in shame. At a time when he should be restoring the FBI\u2019s reputation after Jim Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok and others tarnished its image as our country\u2019s premier law enforcement agency, he\u00a0allowed<\/a>\u00a029 gun slinging agents to make a predawn arrest of former Trump advisor Roger Stone.<\/p>\n

\n

Stone is not a drug dealer, nor is he a terrorist. Stone is charged with obstruction of justice and making false statements to the special counsel. Significantly, the alleged false statements specified in the indictment were about conduct, which, if admitted, was not criminal.<\/p>\n

I prosecuted drug dealers. I never sent more than a handful of agents to arrest them, and these were were gun toting, vicious dudes. Stone does not own a gun nor does he even have a license to do so.<\/p>\n

I supervised the prosecution and, thus, the capture of foreign terrorists. The FBI never sent 29 agents to capture even the most dangerous.<\/p>\n

Department of Justice protocol for non-violent defendants with no flight risk is to contact defense counsel and arrange a time to appear in federal court for arraignment. Stone has claimed for months that he was about to be indicted.\u00a0Yet, he did not flee. He has stated that his passport is expired.\u00a0The judge did not find Stone a flight risk, releasing him on his own signature.<\/p>\n

The reason for not sending armed agents unnecessarily into an arrest situation is the possibility of danger to law enforcement, the defendant, and family members. Stone\u2019s deaf wife was still in bed at 6:00 a.m. when the agents barked \u201cOpen up. It\u2019s the FBI.\u201d The announcement is intended to alert people inside not to fight and to voluntarily open the door. But Stone\u2019s wife would have had no idea what was happening. Are we to believe that after over a year of tracking Stone\u2019s every move and reading all his correspondence, Mueller\u2019s henchmen did not know this fact?<\/p>\n

Worse, someone with the FBI or Mueller\u2019s team dropped a dime on CNN, which sent a reporter who falsely claimed he was only there because of \u201creporter\u2019s instinct.\u201d The presence of the press was intended to send a message: \u201cIf you cross Mueller, you will be publicly humiliated.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Wray denounced the partial government shutdown by posting on the FBI website that \u201cIt takes a lot to get me angry, but I\u2019m about as angry as I have been in a long, long time.\u201d It is time for him to get angry about how Mueller\u2019s team used the FBI.\u00a0He can start by investigating who got CNN to the arrest scene.<\/p>\n
