The longtime Trump ally said Mueller may try to 'conjure up' charges against him.

WASHINGTON — Roger Stone, a longtime Republican operative and ally of President Donald Trump, said Sunday he is “prepared” to be indicted as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation if that’s where the probe leads.

“I am prepared should that be the case,” Stone said on "Meet The Press" after being asked if he was ready for a possible indictment. “But I think it just demonstrates, again, this was supposed to be about Russian collusion, and it appears to be an effort to silence or punish the president’s supporters and his advocates.”

Stone reiterated that he felt Mueller’s team has found “no evidence whatsoever of Russian collusion,” so he speculated that they may work to connect him to other crimes instead.

“It is not inconceivable now that Mr. Mueller and his team may seek to conjure up some extraneous crime pertaining to my business, or maybe not even pertaining to the 2016 election,” Stone said. “I would chalk this up to an effort to silence me.”

1. That's nice. Lucky for Roger he'll look quite chic in his orange jumpsuit.

[shraby]

2. The orange will go so good with his white hair! Maybe he could have a hole cut in the back

to show off his tattoo.

4. I'm sure his fellow GOP inmates would appreciate it. LOL.

3. You really have to appreciate their self-awareness

Yeah, I'm a criminal but it's totally not that crime. This isn't how innocent people behave.

5. SOP for this nasty conspiracist games player.

It seems quite likely, not paranoid, that almost all the conscienceless sociopaths in politics have gathered on the right, hardly as a unit, but nevertheless gleefully and viciously ranged against us. We just know Stone's name.

Well, he's worked hard for that, to be "in." It sound like he's very worried, and let's hope the DoJ obliges him.

6. Mr Attention wants attention so bad, he's hoping for an indictment.

Then he can play victim and go on all the gullible and desperate talk shows.

7. Poor Zippy is so innocent. I hope he rots in jail.

we have a list of books we will gladly provide for your reading pleasure..Russian Roulette for starters..you are going to have plenty of time to read..may we never hear another word come out of your mouth..we will know where you will be spending much of your time - no need to provide an address..POS

9. No Mr. Stone,

You should have already finished your first Prison Term by now and be on Probation for the rest of your life for Crimes against the USA back in the Nixon era. As well as Your antics in Bush vs. Gore crap.
