[American Thinker] Federal Law enforcement appears to be adopting methods more suitable for the KGB or Stasi.

CNN’s exclusive news coverage of Roger Stone’s arrest was a big mistake. It reminded sentient people of the Ruby Ridge, Waco, and Elian Gonzalez raids. Smirking CNN snowflake David Shorttail claims he had a "gut instinct" to show up before 6 A.M. at Stone’s house. CNN’s Alisyn Camerota told Shorttail, "You were there before sunrise.

It came as a surprise to you." She elaborated, "What's so fascinating is that we've talked to his attorney, the attorney didn't know this was coming. Clearly Roger Stone didn't know this was coming. You were staked out at his house, you didn't know that this was coming. Why were you there in position?" Shorttail responded, "Alisyn, it's a reporter's instinct." No one outside the FBI knew this was coming. Yet David Shorttail was in the right place at the right time.

Shorttail claimed it’s "standard operating procedure for the FBI to show up heavily armed like this but they didn’t do this for other people connected in the investigation. So it is remarkable that they did this without warning without any indication to Stone’s lawyers beforehand." He might believe this was an unprecedented move by the FBI because he asserted, "When Paul Manafort... was arrested, he surrendered at an FBI field office in Washington. He walked in the front door with his lawyers and that was in the morning around 8:00 or 9:00 a.m. I was there, as well, for that surrender. This? Very different." Manafort was also subject to a predawn raid. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (who possibly served with Nathan Phillips in Vietnam), a member of the Judiciary Committee and a former U.S. attorney, called the Manafort search "a significant and even stunning development." Blumenthal claimed these raids are generally reserved for "the most serious criminal investigations dealing with uncooperative or untrusted potential targets." It appears that the Manafort raid has fallen through Shorttail’s Orwellian memory hole.

#1 Maybe there should be FBI sensitivity training for higher-ups in the FBI where Agents show up at 4:00 a.m., at your front door, kick it down and arrest you.

#2 Remember - the people who have wrecked privacy all say "If you aren't doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about..."

#3 Alisyn, it's a reporter's instinct.

They lied about Nick Sandmann. They lie about everything.
