O.J. Simpson has weighed in on Roger Stone’s FBI arrest, saying he should keep his composure. USA Today reports:
Former inmate and professional football player O.J. Simpson made it clear in a TMZ interview on Tuesday that he was unimpressed with Roger Stone’s protestations about the FBI raid on his home.
Stone, a longtime associate of President Donald Trump, was arrested and charged with several felonies, including witness tampering and lying to federal investigators in connection with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Stone pleaded not guilty to the charges last week.
After his arrest, which included a swarm of FBI agents in body armor and armed with assault rifles, Stone complained that the “show of force” was “completely unnecessary.” He said his wife and Yorkshire terrier were terrified by the incident and later said it involved more manpower than the arrests of drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman and al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
Simpson – acquitted of murdering his wife and convicted of robbery – told Stone to “man up” and “stop crying”
It’s quite ironic, considering O.J.’s own arrest was very hidden from the cameras.
It certainly appears that the arrest means were manifest over kill in this unverified accusation and investigation of causes.
