The FBI stages a pre-dawn raid on Roger Stone’s home and arrests him:
Roger Stone, a former campaign adviser to US President Donald Trump, has been arrested by the FBI on charges including obstruction and witness tampering. He was arrested at his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, following Thursday’s indictment by the office of the FBI Special Counsel which is investigating Trump and his associates over allegations surrounding his 2016 campaign.
Stone is facing one count of obstruction of proceedings, one count of witness tampering, and five counts of false statements.
It is alleged that Stone, who officially left the Trump campaign in August 2015, told Trump campaign officials in July 2016 about future WikiLeaks (referred to in Mueller’s document as “Organization 1”) releases of damaging information found in leaked Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails. US intelligence claims the emails were hacked by Russian “government actors.”
The indictment claims that Stone lied to the House Intelligence Committee about his alleged contacts with WikiLeaks and tried to convince another person to give false testimony.
The FBI showed up at Stone’s door in force. Agents arrived armed with assault rifles and clad in body armor, and without warning. It’s the first time such measures were applied to a person indicted in Mueller’s investigation.
Sounds like the Swamp is trying to put a scare into Stone and his family. I doubt it will work.

“I will never testify against Trump.” This statement was recently made by Roger Stone, essentially stating that he will not be forced by a rogue and out of control prosecutor to make up lies and stories about “President Trump.” Nice to know that some people still have “guts!”
The God-Emperor should simply issue a blanket pardon for Stone and force the FBI to release him.
