Trump expected to commute Roger Stone sentence, days before prison term set to begin
Roger Stone told Fox News he is 'praying' for Trump to intervene ahead of his prison sentence.

By Brooke Singman, John Roberts | Fox News

President Trump is expected to announce that he will commute Roger Stone’s sentence, just days before the longtime political operative is slated to report to prison to serve more than three years for charges stemming from former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, Fox News has learned.

Sources told Fox News Friday that the president could announce a commutation of Stone’s sentence as early as Friday evening.

Later Friday, an appeals court denied Stone's request to delay reporting for his sentence, saying he must report for prison on Tuesday.

"In sum, Stone is not legally eligible for further postponement of his reporting date under 18 U.S.C. § 3145(c), which is the only basis on which he seeks relief from this court. We therefore deny his motion," the court wrote in its order.

Don't care for Stone (nasty political trickster), but I guess he was good buddies with Trump. I wonder if Trump is feeling pressure of being a one term politician and thus we might see more of these pardons etc. soon.... ?

Stone isn't the first and won't be the last "trickster."

Nixon had Donald  Segretti, for example; a frat bro of mine.

    Maybe this guy is not as dumb as I always thought he was. 



    He got out, unlike Stone, Cohen and Manafort, without a prison sentence.

First, the President did not issue a pardon.  Stone's conviction remains --- which he will fight through the appeals process.

Second, the President commuted Stone's prison sentence today because Stone was scheduled to surrender to the feds on Tuesday.

Statement from the Press
Secretary Regarding Executive
Grant of Clemency for Roger
Stone, Jr.

July 10, 2020

Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Grant of Clemency commuting the unjust sentence of Roger Stone, Jr.

Roger Stone is a victim of the Russia Hoax that the Left and its allies in the media perpetuated for years in an attempt to undermine the Trump Presidency.  There was never any collusion between the Trump Campaign, or the Trump Administration, with Russia.  Such collusion was never anything other than a fantasy of partisans unable to accept the result of the 2016 election.  The collusion delusion spawned endless and farcical investigations, conducted at great taxpayer expense, looking for evidence that did not exist.  As it became clear that these witch hunts would never bear fruit, the Special Counsel’s Office resorted to process-based charges leveled at high-profile people in an attempt to manufacture the false impression of criminality lurking below the surface.  These charges were the product of recklessness borne of frustration and malice.This is why the out-of-control Mueller prosecutors, desperate for splashy headlines to compensate for a failed investigation, set their sights on Mr. Stone.  Roger Stone is well known for his nearly 50 years of work as a consultant for high-profile Republican politicians, including President Ronald Reagan, Senator Bob Dole, and many others.  He is also well known for his outspoken support for President Donald J. Trump and opposition to Hillary Clinton.

Mr. Stone was charged by the same prosecutors from the Mueller Investigation tasked with finding evidence of collusion with Russia.  Because no such evidence exists, however, they could not charge him for any collusion-related crime.  Instead, they charged him for his conduct during their investigation.  The simple fact is that if the Special Counsel had not been pursuing an absolutely baseless investigation, Mr. Stone would not be facing time in prison.

In addition to charging Mr. Stone with alleged crimes arising solely from their own improper investigation, the Mueller prosecutors also took pains to make a public and shameful spectacle of his arrest.  Mr. Stone is a 67-year-old man, with numerous medical conditions, who had never been convicted of another crime.  But rather than allow him to surrender himself, they used dozens of FBI agents with automatic weapons and tactical equipment, armored vehicles, and an amphibious unit to execute a pre-dawn raid of his home, where he was with his wife of many years.  Notably, CNN cameras were present to broadcast these events live to the world, even though they swore they were not notified—it was just a coincidence that they were there together with the FBI early in the morning.

Not only was Mr. Stone charged by overzealous prosecutors pursing a case that never should have existed, and arrested in an operation that never should have been approved, but there were also serious questions about the jury in the case.  The forewoman of his jury, for example, concealed the fact that she is a member of the so-called liberal “resistance” to the Trump Presidency.  In now-deleted tweets, this activist-juror vividly and openly attacked President Trump and his supporters.

Mr. Stone would be put at serious medical risk in prison.  He has appealed his conviction and is seeking a new trial.  He maintains his innocence and has stated that he expects to be fully exonerated by the justice system.  Mr. Stone, like every American, deserves a fair trial and every opportunity to vindicate himself before the courts.  The President does not wish to interfere with his efforts to do so.  At this time, however, and particularly in light of the egregious facts and circumstances surrounding his unfair prosecution, arrest, and trial, the President has determined to commute his sentence.  Roger Stone has already suffered greatly.  He was treated very unfairly, as were many others in this case.  Roger Stone is now a free man!

They were , NOT BEST BUDDIES.  Stone just supported  Candidate TRUMP in 2016.  Stone, owns, or used to own the magazine ENQUIRER.  Stone showed his support for TRUMP.  That is why STONE is being persecuted.  Anyone, supported TRUMP Campaign  is being PERSECUTED and attacked. That should worry you MORE...than your personal feelings about these men.  STONE WAS SET UP.  ALL OF THEM.  EVEN POTUS.  You need to support TRUMP..or you will be looking at communism in your face!  NOT PRETTY.  Look at some pictures.  Why do you support communism? Socialism? 
In Venezuela they have eaten all the edible zoo animals and flamingos.  The people look through garbage to find something to eat.  It is as if you are in some other world and for sure NOT THIS ONE.   

COMMUNISM.
