Another Arrest

The FBI raided and arrested another member of the dontard's campaign for obstruction of justice.

Roger Stone is accused of seven counts of obstruction and while an arrest is not a conviction, it is pretty likely that they have significant evidence and corroborating testimony.

This is the 34the arrest to date in the investigation, not all of whom were directly associated with the campaign.

There is video of the arrest which in all honesty seems more appropriate for someone who might resist, but I'm sure the FBI had their reasons.

One source indicates that Watergate resulted in 40 indictments (not all resulted in jail) and of course one Presidential resignation.

This still exceeds the current count, but the investigation is not over.

I would like to point out that while the Watergate break-in was done before we were so digital, the crimes are pretty much the same, both designed to infiltrate and steal information about the opponents campaign.

What is definitively different is that the Watergate was an operation that did not include a foreign power while the current Russian probe clearly does.

In addition to the Russians we have Wikileaks, an international group.

Its hard to imagine Nixon, the fiery anti-communist collaborating with the Soviet Union for something like this, but of course times have changed.

Its also very difficult for the dontard to ever accept responsibility for these actions and I still very much doubt that impeachment is feasible.

Consider how close we got to impeaching Bill Clinton for lying about his interaction with a white house intern.

Did not involve any foreign governments.  Don't think anyone was indicted for what happened, and of course the current dontard has very likely lied consistently about similar activities and the payoffs associated with those activities.

He just hasn't done it to congress officially.

He still has time now that we have a democratic house.
