Roger Stone claims more FBI agents were involved in his arrest than the raid on Osama bin Laden.
If I recall correctly... There was two helicopters of Navy Seals were launched in the raid. I couldn't find exact numbers, but let's just assume two pilots per helio and six Seals per helio. That's fourteen people. Wasn't there a second group of helios for backup? So that is now 28 people. There was also US military jets flying to protect them, and multiple C130s involved.... Let's say four jets (four pilots) plus two C130s and their staff.... We are talking about forty or fifty people in the air that day alone in support of that raid. That doesn't include any of the people who helped in the training and planning for the raid, or the people on the ground in support of the mission the day of.
So, no, more FBI agents were not used in the early morning raid on Stone.
Fuck him. The FBI raided his house. And a second location too if I recall. This was a raid. Arresting Stone was only part of the raid; The other part was searching his residence and collecting whatever documents and computer gear they needed. So they needed boots on the ground to make it happen.
Not caring. He lied to the FBI. He might have committed treason. Fuck him. He is going to prison.
