Why Arresting Roger Stone Was the Right Thing to Do

As Ben Wittes explains

Law enforcement simply does not hand a summons to someone who threatens to kill a witness and trust that person to act responsibly with it.  No conscientious prosecutor would think a summons appropriate there, or think that a threat to kill a witness is simply what targets of grand jury investigations routinely do.

If Mr. Stone does as he promised Tucker Carlson and fights the charges in open court,  we may learn things the Trump legal team would rather we didn't. In any event, we're off to a dramatic start.
