Longtime Republican operative and informal Trump advisorRoger Stone predicted Friday that a criminal indictment of Donald Trump is inevitable though he maintains that the myriad investigations into Trump's alleged criminal activity are a "witch hunt."

Stone made the claims inan appearance onthefar-right, conspiracy-driven outlet "InfoWars,"during a wide-ranging conversation withhost Alex Jones.

"I would be shocked if they did not come forward with a fabricatedindictment for bank fraud or tax fraud against the former president [Donald Trump]by Manhattan District AttorneyCyrusVanceJr.," Stone began, before claiming he will take the mantle of "establish[ing] this is a partisan witch hunt" on his new podcast.

Stone continued by arguing the"fabricated"Trumpindictment would most likely be filledaround the same time the baseless Arizona 2020 election auditconcludes.

"Let's be very clear. In other words, as you said it earlier, you show the man, and I'll show you the crime.They'reallowed to root through this man's business record of forty years, in which he built a real estate empire second to none, combingfor a crime, they have no evidence of a crime, they no probable cause," Stone declared."It is disgraceful, but I do think it is going to happen."

"And don't be surprised if the announcement comes at the exact time that we learn the truth about Maricopa County, Arizona. Don'tbe surprised because I see that coming," the self-proclaimed "dirty-trickster"added.

Jones speculated that the indictment will break "on or around July 4,to really rub it into our faces as a declaration of their takeover, the Chinese takeover of America." Stone then seemingly concurredwith Jones' remark by further arguingthat calls for continued 2020 election auditsare "bubbling up."

Stone didn't return Salon's request for comment.

This past week, theManhattandistrict attorney's officeconveneda grand jury panel thatwill decide whether or not criminal charges will be broughtagainstTrump,executives oftheTrump Organization, and possiblythe organization itself. Unlike Stone, former Trump attorneyMichael Cohensaid on MSNBC the charges could have real teeth, citing"significant exposure."

"But it wasn't just the Trump Organization. It was Donald's personal accounts. It was the kids' business accounts, presidential inaugural committee, campaign. Any penny that had anything to do with Donald Trump went through Allen Weisselberg's desk," Cohensaid. "I do believe that he has significant exposure, and I think his exposure is not one that you can just hide because the beautiful thing about numbers is numbers don't lie."
