Good for Lindsay V2.0! Intimidation and PR Totally! At least they didn't kill anyone[Daily Caller] Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham is requesting an FBI briefing about the circumstances of a pre-dawn raid of Trump confidant Roger Stone's home in Florida last Friday.
"I am concerned about the manner in which the arrest was effectuated, especially the number of agents involved, the tactics employed, the timing of the arrest, and whether the FBI released details of the arrest and the indictment to the press prior to providing this information to Mr. Stone's attorneys," Graham, a South Carolina Republican, wrote FBI Director Christopher Wray on Wednesday.
Graham is requesting a briefing from the FBI by Feb. 5 into the raid, which he asserted matched the tactics typically used to arrest a violent criminal. (RELATED: Roger Stone Indicted)
He is also demanding to know whether the press was tipped off about Stone's impending arrest. CNN cameras were rolling as a swarm of armed FBI agents and U.S. marshals stormed Stone's property shortly before dawn on Jan. 25.
Stone was indicted under seal on Jan. 24 in the special counsel's investigation.
He is charged with five count of making false statements to Congress, one count of witness tampering and one count of obstructing an official proceeding.
The charges center mostly on Stone's conversations with associates and Trump campaign officials about WikiLeaks, which published emails stolen from Democrats during the 2016 campaign.
