Trump confidante Roger Stone said Sunday that he was “prepared” to be indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller, “should that be the case.”
Mueller has so far subpoenaed two associates of Stone’s, John Kakanis and Jason Sullivan, according to reporting by Reuters.
“We know that prosecutors have been asking witnesses about you,” NBC’s Chuck Todd told Stone in an interview Sunday after noting the subpoenas. “Are you preparing to be indicted?”
“I don’t know if I’m an interesting person or a person of interest,” Stone began in response.
“At least eight of my current or former associates, mostly young people, have been terrorized by Mr. Mueller’s investigators,” Stone said. “I can guarantee you they have found no evidence whatsoever of Russian collusion, nor trafficking of allegedly hacked emails with Wikileaks.”
“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,” he continued, before adding in reference to a potential indictment: “So I am prepared, should that be the case.”
Stone later said that neither he nor his lawyer had had contact with Mueller’s office.
Stone, perhaps the most predictable and tiresome member of the Trump family syndicate.
“I am prepared,” he continued, “to go to prison, shave my head, and live with other tattooed men.”
“I am ready to face strip searches, communal showers, and testosterone-fueled humiliation and violence.”
“For years and years and years,” he excitedly concluded, “um…should that be the case.”
Sam Nunberg was on MSNBC today saying they’d probably get Stone on some petty charge. I don’t remember the exact term he used but something to that effect.
When I have time I’m going to see what I can find about what people had to say when Capone finally got put away. I’ll bet it sounds pretty similar.
Translation: You’re a target, mofo.
Getting indicted is something Roger has had in the back of his mind for well nigh on 40 years…
