Stone: ‘Not inconceivable’ Mueller could try to ‘conjure up’ crime related to business

Former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone in a Sunday show interview suggested special counsel Robert Mueller could “conjure up” a crime related to his business interests.

“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. I would chock this up to an effort to silence me,” Stone told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Stone again said neither he nor his attorney has been contacted by Mueller or his team, which is investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and any potential ties between Trump campaign staff members and Moscow.

Stone also said he is “prepared” should Mueller seek to indict him, but slammed the special counsel for alleged partisanship.

“But I think it just demonstrates, again, this was supposed to be about Russian collusion,” said Stone. “And it appears to be an effort to silence or punish the president’s supporters and his advocates.”
