The entire FBI, the DC Swamp, and the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps went on Red Alert to round up this old man and his poodle with CNN tipped off by Mueller and his butthurt Demonic Rat team for a minor misdemeanor.

The reason for the 5th is that you can't be compelled to give testimony against yourself. However - if you're pardoned, how can you? You've committed the act, you've been pardoned - there's no risk of self-incrimination. And you very much can't refuse to give testimony except where the 5th applies - or where some of the other privileges (spouse, doctor/patient, priest/parishioner etc.) apply.

Refusing to give testimony is traditionally considered civil contempt and a judge can order you held in jail until you change your mind. For years, if needed. The old saw is that "the detainee holds the key to his cell" - give testimony, and you walk. It's not a criminal conviction and it has so far been held outside the powers of pardon.

Criminal contempt of court is a different matter, that's when you break a statute and get an actual sentence.
As Manafort did after he was warned NOT to be in touch with other possible witnesses and he continued to reach out...

Maybe it was carried out the way it was so as to bring lots of media attention and discussion. You know, everyone's eyes, ears and discussions are about Roger Stone arrest.

Now Trump is “considering” asking the FBI to investigate how Stone was arrested

Another example of Trump interfering or threatening to interfere in FBI policies that rankle his base—
If he does or if he doesn’t—this is just one step away from “witness tampering” IMO or obstruction of justice

There was nothing wrong with what happened w/Roger Stone
There was nothing wrong with how Cohen was served a “no-knock” warrant or Manafort
They all saw armed officers at the scene
They were ALL treated with courtesy and professionalism by the FBI involved
They ALL mentioned that

The only reason Trump is sticking his oar in this “debate” is because it serves his purpose and Stone’s of trial by publicity—
Arouse the base, use the base to drum up support for YOUR agenda which is to criticize the FBI and any other agency that threatens you and your criminal posse...

And send a message to Stone: "I got your back".

Remember when Trump said he wished police would allow arrestees to bump their head on the car when getting arrested, versus protecting them as they got arrested and hauled away.....

Trump tells police not to worry about injuring suspects during arrests

He only meant when law enforcement are taking people he doesn't care about into custody. Of course he did not mean for it to apply with the police arrest his friends or family. Just like his view on chain migration. And employing illegal immigrants. And Presidents golfing.

Roger Stone speaks for himself. The leftist and the leftist media has attacked him unmercifully since before the arrest.

Looking forward to seeing the left who have done this to him and attacks against other conservatives get their due.

Default Detailed, informative interview with Roger Stone sets the story straight

Exposes how the left has been attacking him long before the arrest.
