BY MICHAEL BURKE - 12/18/18 01:51 PM EST
Roger Stone, a former adviser to President Trump, is now fundraising off a promise not to testify against him in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Trump in recent days has lashed out at witnesses cooperating with the Justice Department's probe, such as his former attorney Michael Cohen, whom he's called a "rat."
Stone, who is being investigated by Mueller, wrote in conservative writer Ben Shapiro's "Call to Action" newsletter on Tuesday that he is refusing "to bear false witness against President Trump" and that he "will not be railroaded by Mueller and his legal thugs."
"I intend to fight any effort to frame me for perjury or act on false accusations against our President. But I urgently need your help," he continued, adding that "Mueller's illegal leaks have destroyed my business" and claiming that the cost of attorneys has "virtually bankrupted me."
He then asked supporters to make an "emergency contribution" of "$25, $50, $100, $500 or even $1,000" to his legal defense fund.

Too many conflicting stories here w/ all of these cronies and want-to-be power brokers that are involved w/ rump. Nice!
Point to remember, Mueller obviously has a reason (or multiple reasons) to investigate stone. He must have stood out in some way that caught Mueller's attention.
So why is roger stone gathering contributions for his defense? He must know something he did was illegal and knows it too.
