ROGER STONE TO BE INDICTED FOR FINANCIAL DEALINGS IN MUELLER PROBE, FORMER TRUMP ADVISOR SAM NUNBERG

[RandySF]

Sam Nunberg, a former campaign advisor to President Donald Trump, predicted that Roger Stone will likely be indicted in Special Counsel Robert Mueller‘s probe into election meddling for "some stupid financial thing" during an appearance on MSNBC.

"Do you think Roger Stone is in any legal jeopardy?” MSNBC host Alex Witt asked Nunberg, who has previously described Stone as a "mentor."

"I think Roger is most likely— and he’s prepared for this and he should be—going to get indicted, on some financial, I’d say picayune matter,” Nunberg said.

"Mueller is treating all Trump associates as if they are the Mafia," Nunberg added. "And he is very selective about that."

Nunberg went on to say he believes Stone will beat whatever charges come up against him. The former aide, who has earned a reputation for speaking rather candidly during cable news segments, said he still keeps in contact with the former lobbyist.

6. I keep remembering when Sam Nunberg went on CNN

and told the host that Fux Ruse is going to have egg all over their face but CNN "would be OK". That is a good indication of things to come.

He was on a 1992 election special and said California is gone for Republicans on the presidential level.

9. "treating all Trump associates as if they are the Mafia"

11. Roger Stone not "to be indicted". "Nunberg waves his hands and predicts...." is more like it.

I am with you on wanting Stone to go down.

But can I suggest you tone down the headline? Let's do all caps when Mueller announces indictments or when a big news outlet with a lot of legal sources (eg CNN WSJ WaPO NYT) says it's going to happen, ok?

I'm not going to spend time re-writing the deadline.

I see now. Combo of newsweek clicky headline and truncation when transferred to DU. have a good night!
