Stone lied about politics to the congress which is a violation of the law. So you could say Stone was indicted and arrested for a political act. I find it interesting that so many Trumpsters think it is okay for Trump people to lie to congress as long as they do it to support and protect the president. And for those who think Mueller does not have the goods on Stone, just think of everyone else Mueller has done this to and how quickly they have folded once having seen the evidence MUeller's team has on them. Stone will be no different, although Stone might actually go to trial and then to jail for Trump hoping for an eventual pardon. If I was Stone I would put little stock on any of Trump's promises.
I have no sympathy for stone but I do find the prosecutional discretion exercised unequal and largely down political lines. Its so obvious its undeniable even though I know the partisans will claim it's not true.Stone lied about politics to the congress which is a violation of the law.

Red:
Let's get one thing right: it's unlawful to lie to Congress, and about what one lies to Congress doesn't matter as goes the lie's unlawfulness.
Blue:
No, one can say that; however, one who understands the law and aptly takes context into consideration wouldn't say that. Such a person would say Stone was arrested/indicted for lying to Congress.

I also find the timing of this indictment very interesting. These indictments are always curiously timed to distract peoples attention off of the Democrats when they are feeling political heat. This time it is the shutdown.
Except everyone else lies to congress and gets away with it.

It's always interesting to me how differently two people can look at the same thingActually, I think Trump used his acceptance of the Dem plan today to get the news off of the Stone arrest. Trump does not want people looking at another of his cronies being arrested. More and more smoke, people are beginning to think that maybe there is fire there somewhere near Trump and/or his family.
