Former Trump campaign adviser Sam Nunberg said Sunday it's "most likely" political operative and President Donald Trump ally Roger Stone will be indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller.
In remarks to MSNBC's Alex Witt, Nunberg dismissed the significance of any legal action against the man he said he considers his mentor.
"I think Roger is most likely — and he's prepared for this and he should be — is 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."
Earlier Sunday, Stone told NBC's "Meet The Press" that he's prepared for an indictment should it be handed up by Mueller's investigators.
"He will get indicted on some stupid financial thing. He will eventually, I believe, will beat it because that's Andrew Weissmann's track record," Nunberg said, referring to the lawyer on the special counsel's investigative team who's been accused of harboring a bias against Trump.
"We don't like to also talk about the fact that Weissmann when he indicted Arthur Andersen and had them go out of business and thousands lost their jobs… This is called selective prosecution," Nunberg added, echoing arguments of other Weissmann critics.
Nunberg said he keeps in touch with Stone.
"My last phone conversation with Roger was the Saturday before my Friday grand jury appearance, where I explained to Roger that I had received a subpoena, and his name is one of the people where I would have to hand over all communications," Nunberg said.
"I have not had a phone conversation with Roger since that Saturday. We've exchanged sporadic texts. This week I sent him a text telling him how much I liked his new book, "Stone Rules," which is great. And later he had sent me an e-mail thanking me for comments I made in a Bloomberg article where I said, Alex, that at the end of the day, I'm glad Mueller that wants to investigate and give this forensic to Roger in terms of Julian Assange because Roger will be vindicated by the fact that he never had any foreknowledge of any of [Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John] Podesta's emails."
