‘Robert Mueller is coming for me’
Trump adviser sends email to raise funds for legal defense

Roger Stone, the longtime associate of Donald Trump, has predicted that he may soon be indicted as part of Robert Mueller’s inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

In an email urging supporters to donate to his legal defence fund, the veteran Republican operative said he expected imminent action against him from the special counsel, who has secured a conviction and guilty pleas from other Trump allies.

“Robert Mueller is coming for me,” Stone wrote, before asserting that his name was next on what he called Mueller’s “hit list” of targets. Stone denied wrongdoing and said he faced legal peril simply because he had advised Trump for several decades.

Asked on Monday whether he expected criminal charges, Stone said in a text message that he believed Mueller “may frame me for some bogus charge in order to silence me or induce me to testify against the president”.

They are mocking the idiots who believe in them. If these guys make enough money to stay on the air, and have followers, there are so many more lunatics in this country than we ever knew!

Can hardly believe it!

He's singing "My Girl" by the Temptations. He needs such a horrendous kick in that vast backside.

Fricking "End Times??????" Oh, my god.

And everything that Drumpf touched was either bankrupted or illegal.

Last week it "soared" to almost $2900, around $200 from where it had been languishing. Why does anyone donate to someone with $20M dollars?
