The result was a big exclusive for CNN: Pre-dawn video of the FBI arriving at Stone's home. Within minutes of the raid, a conspiracy theory began to take shape on social media. Some of Stone's defenders claimed, without evidence, that Mueller's office tipped off CNN to the timing of the raid. Despite all this, Stone's allies like Carlson -- who used to work at CNN -- assumed they knew what happened at Stone's home. These are tactics detailed in his book "Stone's Rules," which followed a hit documentary on Netflix, "Get Me Roger Stone."
