Media setup, ready to go. Big, bad, Stone going down. Outrage at show of force against Stone. Muh FBI why?
What makes more sense?
FBI expected timing of op to leak. Show of force/timing was to ensure any mobs that could have found out about the op, like "MSM" or actual threat concerns, would be less/minimized and could be rapidly dealt with to ensure officer safety and the safety of Mr. Stone and his wife.
Sure it sucks and of course the MSM paints the worst of pictures/narratives. Optics aside, nobody got hurt/assualted…
