Hours after Roger Stone's dramatic dawn arrest in Florida and indictment by special counsel Robert Mueller, his staff posted an image of their boss that asked, "Who framed Roger Stone," a reference to the 1988 Disney movie "Who framed Roger Rabbit."





Mueller used Nazi tactics by directing that Stone be arrested by a dozen armed FBI agents who hammered on his door before dawn, his staff said in an accompanying statement on Instagram.

"This morning's news is deeply saddening," the note said. "Robert Mueller's early morning raid was straight out of the gestapo's playbook. We must fight for Roger Stone ... now more than ever. If they can do this to Roger ... they are coming for us next! -staff"

Stone, a longtime associate of President Trump, was arrested by a dozen armed FBI agents and indicted on seven counts, including making false statements to Congress, witness tampering, and obstruction of justice, early Friday.

In a statement provided to CNN, Stone’s attorney said his client is “vindicated” by the indictment over lying to Congress and obstruction of justice because it proves there is no evidence of collusion with Russian in the 2016 campaign.

“They found no Russian collusion or they would have charged him with it,” Grant Smith said in a statement about the longtime associate of Trump. “Roger Stone is vindicated by the fact that there was no Russian collusion.”
