Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) se
Post# of 65629
Chairman Graham said in the letter he is “concerned about the manner in which the arrest was effectuated, especially the number of agents involved, the tactics employed” and if the FBI tipped off the press (CNN).
“Since his appointment, I have supported Special Counsel Mueller’s ability to conduct his investigation without interference. Moreover, I have always been a strong admirer and supporter of the FBI.
However, while I firmly support law enforcement taking into account threats to officer safety, flight risk, and the need to ensure evidence is preserved, I am leery that a subject of the Special Counsel’s investigation, who had retained counsel, had publicly stated that he believed that he would at some point be indicted, and was apparently willing to surrender voluntarily, was arrested in a pre-dawn raid at his home,” Lindsey Graham wrote.
“Although I am sure these tactics would be standard procedure for the arrest of a violent offender , I have questions regarding their necessity in this case.
The American public has had enough of the media circus that surrounds the Special Counsel’s investigation
Yet, the manner of this arrest appears to have only added to the spectacle. Accordingly, I write to seek justification for the tactics used and the timing of the arrest of Mr. Stone, ” Graham added.
