Left-wing Hollywood celebrities could hardly contain their joy Friday after Roger Stone, a long time confidante of President Donald Trump, was arrested in Florida.
According to a statement from the special counsel’s office, Roger Stone was indicted for “one count of obstruction of an official proceeding, five counts of false statements, and one count of witness tampering.”
"FBI. Open the door.”

Hollywood celebrities exploded with joy, tying Stone’s arrest to President Trump and allegations of Russian “collusion.”
“Working our way up the food chain. And keeping the government shut is not going to allow the lying puerile sociopath to escape the consequences of his crimes. Paid or unpaid law enforcement will not allow this fool to conspire with an enemy to steal an election,” director Rob Reiner declared.

Star Trek actor George Takei chimed in, “With that tattoo of Nixon on his back, Roger Stone’s friends in prison will get to look at a crook and a liar no matter which side of him they are facing.”

“Roger Stone… a 3rd rate conman who I barely know and worked for me briefly a long time ago is a smarmy, kinky freak with a Nixon tattoo.
He’s a broken down hack who got damaging info on Hillary from WikiLeaks & Russia to illegally hand deliver me the Presidency.
Disgraceful!” pic.twitter.com/eWn04AWGrd— Billy Baldwin (@BillyBaldwin) January 25, 2019
