succession. and by that i mean this is not necessarily the total game against roger stone. this may only be the opening chapter. the second observation that i have is that roger stone famously said i have actually communicated with julian assang and i wondered in this document, because roger then backed off of those statements, i ve wondered if in this document there would be any direct link between assange and stone? i m not seeing one. i ve read it twice, i don t think there s anything in here. it seems like it s all through intermediaries. the third observation is i asked roger stone on cnn on november 3rd do you anticipate being indicted? and in giving me a long-winded explanation, what he said is i m guilty of hyping, punking, posturing, promoting and bluffing. what he was saying is, i m a bs artist and what i was doing is taking information in the public domain and spinning it as if i
are out walking down there s an intracoastal waterway, nice boats, it s i very nice neighborhood and roger stone had a beautiful house and this is something that the neighbors are not used to. that s what multiple neighbors have been telling me as we ve been here on their sidewalk reporting this news all morning. well, david, your reporter s instincts were right on this morning. you were in the right place at the right time to bring us the exclusive video of roger stone being arrested on seven indictments from robert mueller s team. we ll come back to you throughout the morning. when you get any sort of information. thank you very much for being right there. reporter: thanks, alisyn. just such a remarkable sight, those images, the fbi showing ust just after 6:00 a.m. roger stone in custody, as you said, arrested on seven counts. wow. let s talk much more about this. joining me is democratic congresswoman neil lowey of new york, he s the chair of the
reveal that rorth stone wger st contact with the trump campaign throughout this investigation. wikileaks had damaging information about the clinton campaign, these are just the early details we re getting but roger stone is expected to be arraigned this morning. we re expected to see him in fort lauderdale in court at 11:00 a.m. and so we ll probably get more information on the situation then, john. absolutely, sara. please stand by for us as we watch this video. there s roger stone. in the doorway, if we put that back up, this is roger stone being awoken by these fbi acts and i d say riot gear, it s just flap jackets. they re wearing bullet proof vests. one had a helmet on. agents wear that when they don t know what they re going to encounter and it is just remarkable, anne, to see this because this not how anyone else connected to the robert mueller investigation has been arrested the not paul manafort. this is not a civilized let s walk into the courthouse with our attorney. this
taking into custody and arresting someone very close to the president. jeffrey toobin, our chief legal analyst joins us right now. also happens to be someone who s written exsetensively about rog stone. this is a day people saw coming, jeffrey? what s your take. roger you re not roger, berman, i was just in that house two weeks ago. i am a in a little bit of shock watching this video. it s, you know, i have known roger stone for a very long time, i wrote a wrong profile of him ten years ago the new yorker. i m working on a story about him now and i was just in the house. and it s it s really a shocking but like so much in these past two years, this is shocking but not surprising. he has been taunting the mueller investigation for months. he has he admittedly was in close touch with people close to
indictment. could you hear roger stone saying anything? was there any kinds of conversations? reporter: they asked him are you roger stone and he said yes. that was the extent of the conversation that we were able to hear from our perch before we were moved. but it was friendly. as you know, some of these warrants, they don t always go smoothly. this went smoothly. the fbi agents and if out across his line silently before they shined that flashlight in and then shouted fbi, open the door. roger appeared to surrender without any issue. when the fbi takes this approach, it s because they think there s a possibility of the arrest not going smoothly. i mean, that s why they take all of those precautions. but what s so fascinating is that we ve talked to his attorney, the attorney didn t know this was coming. clearly roger stone didn t know this was coming. you were staked out at his house, you didn t know that this
