Roger Stone has publicly claimed he was not read his Miranda Rights by the FBI

when arrested.
I don't believe him.
If the FBI has video of him being read his rights they should release the clip and then get the Judge to issue a gag order on Stone on comments publicly and to the press because of the lie.
That's how you deal with a liar.

Are they planning to use any post-arrest statements against him?

Did they interrogate him at all?

I doubt it.

He's throwing shit that is similar in nature to "But her emails" in the hopes that something will stick. Expect Lindsey Graham to pick up on this shortly.

They didn’t need that lying liar making a statement that was a lying lie.
They just need his hard drives to prosecute him.

It is helpful for the police to read them in the event the suspect starts talking or else voluntarily answers questions during interrogation.

But, no, it is not necessary.

It only becomes an issue if a post-arrest statement is used as evidence against the suspect.

but only if that person's statements are later to be used against them. If they didn't question Stone (and they probably didn't), it wasn't necessary. It's just a warning that a person's statements can be used against them if they are charged with a crime, and that they have the right not to talk to the police and to have an attorney present.

Any rights he might have had to STFU, he's lost already.

and they probably didn't. Their job was to haul him in, collect his stuff, and let Mueller deal with the questioning.

After he was arrested and when they are going to question him. If they don't question him then it is perfectly legal not to read him his Miranda warnings.

They can do it anytime prior to interrogation, if they interrogate you, which they often don't. I think particularly in a case like this, there is no point to an interrogation. They've already spoken to him with his lawyer present before the arrest.

They will have him sign a statement that he was read his rights.
These aren’t amateurs.

Other than FBI, Open the door, Warrant, and Jesus Christ, put some pants on, they probably didn't say much to him.
