Roger Stone: I will not testify against the President

Roger Stone: I will not testify against the President

Roger Stone just spoke outside of the federal courthouse where he appeared a short time ago in Florida. He proclaimed his innocence, said he is falsely accused and finds the tactics this morning at his house disturbing.

Stone says he will plead not guilty to the charges and believes that they are politically motivated.

He also reinforced that he will not testify against the president.

A crowd gathered outside the courthouse chanted "lock him up" as he spoke to media.

Hmmm, I can probably think of a few people who find the consequences of his actions "disturbing" as well.

Yeah, Stone is a real tough guy.

When he sees what Robert Mueller has on him, he'll change his tune.

Traitor.
