‘They treated Roger Stone very badly': President Trump thanked the Justice Department for retracting the prison term recommendation, but declined to say if he's considering a pardon for his former adviser

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday declined to say whether he is considering pardoning longtime adviser Roger Stone, who was found guilty last year of lying to Congress, obstruction and witness tampering.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump thanked Justice Department officials for stepping in to retract a recommendation from frontline prosecutors that Stone face up to nine years in prison, saying the Republican operative had been treated very badly.

What a dip shit!

Stone knows where the bones are buried.

I’m not living in the real world? How can they let this happen😡😡😡

Criminals SHOULD be treated badly!

Barr: DOJ Wants to Give Roger Stone Credit for Time Served Under Trump’s Balls

He will don't forget he got acquitted for corruption and now he's above the law and can do anything he wants. You can thank the republicans for that.

POOR BABY

50 says he pardons him.

This is purely corruption at its worst when a president overpowers it’s justice system for sake of his corrupt friends who have been found guilty by court appointed jury!

More obstruction

Dude! You haven’t even seen “badly” yet.

Treated him badly? How should they treat comvicted criminals?

Stone was found guilty by our peers not politicians. They didn't think Roger was being treated unfairly. He deserves the time suggested for what he did. Don't forget he was involved with the Russian interference. It doesn't matter if Trump claims it's a hoax or not.

Roger Stone, the great guy who threatened to kill a witness's dog.

Pardon him. He only did what you have done.

Mob boss.

People have not elected you to treat Stone nicely ...

Wait for your turn 😂😂😂😂

I got a deal, if Trump think’s Stone got a raw deal why doesn’t Trump trade places, it’s a win win for everyone!

Witness tampering and lying to Congress are what stone were convicted by jury of. Trump is a straight up criminal. Always was, always will be.

can i still suggest locking up Clinton for private servers and destroying data?

Little Donnie Dipwad, as usual you've got things exactly bass ackwards. Roger Stone, in his illegal and immoral behavior, has approached treason in his efforts to suck your ... whatever. That he could ever be out of jail is offensive.

100% unAmerican

Every career prosecutor involved in the case resigned in protest.

Soon

Mob boss.

Yes because he’s a criminal who’s hiding behind another criminal

Trump has infiltrated every Gov. Agency, especially the DOJ, with political hacks to serve his agenda of retaliation against patriots who testified at his impeachment. Fearing Trump's vengeance, Republicans say nothing and in doing so, condone Trump's authoritarian rule.

The stable genius speaks ..... ImpeachTrumpAgain

Dishonest Don at his best.
