Political strategist Roger Stone
said Friday he's not seeing that he's being indicted as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, but he does believe that he could be framed because he supports President Donald Trump and his 2016 campaign.
At any rate, Stone told Newsmax TV's "Newsmax Now," that he won't cooperate with Mueller's investigation.
"If the government thinks that they can make up some crime and squeeze me to testify against the president that is not going to happen," Stone said. "I can tell you what my crime is right now," Stone added. "I supported Donald Trump. I supported Donald Trump for president. "

Stone said that he has not been interviewed by the FBI or brought before a grand jury by Mueller or in other cases relating to the special counsel's investigation, but if he had, there would be "liberal commentators" saying that was an indication of an imminent indictment, and it would have been known immediately.
"It's indicative of nothing particular," he told Newsmax TV. "There is no Russian collusion. There is no WikiLeaks collaboration, there is no other crime."
However, Stone said he could be charged with some other offense, as he's now "under a microscope where they are going through every molecule of my being."
"[They are] asking my associates and friends personal questions that have nothing to do with Russia, that are, you know, just far afield," said Stone. "'How's his relationship with his wife? How was his relationship with his family or children? Who are his clients? Where does he get his money from? Does he smoke marijuana? How about does he like women? Does he like boys? Do you know, where does he bank?'"
The "intimidation tactics" have nothing to do with Russian collusion, and are "offensive, if you ask me."
"It's so ham-handed, but there's been no formal indictment, just the harassment of people who have the unfortunate experience of having worked for me," Stone said.
However, he acknowledged that the government could "conjure up" some offense against him on "some tax matter or some political matter, some business matter or personal matter."
"They can indict a ham sandwich, Stone said. "I'm not interested in being Mr. Mueller's lunch."
