in all seriousness, i’d like to see how often the feds respond with that level of force in these kind of cases. i hope they do so all the time, otherwise it leads to speculation about politics.

Because it’s not over. Stone is not in jail. The judge has other issues to finish.

As for his capture, I’ve read it was nothing unusual.

hmmm, where did you read that, in the obama groupie newsletter?

as i said, i hope it’s the usual practice. if it is, they can change that practice. sometimes, all it takes is a call to the lawyer to say “ have your client turn himself in tomorrow morning.”. but i remember the photos during the clinton presidency of immigration agents with big rifles and riot gear, showing up to pull some little kid away from his family in a very high profile case. not every federal action requires a Rambo response.
