WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump is considering commuting Roger Stone’s sentence just days before his longtime friend and adviser is due to report to prison, a source familiar with the situation said on Friday.
Stone, 67, is scheduled to report by Tuesday to a federal prison in Jesup, Georgia to begin serving a sentence of three years and four months for lying under oath to U.S. lawmakers investigating Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election.Trump has been discussing with advisers the possibility of commuting Stone’s sentence, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Congressional Democrats and other critics have accused Trump of undermining the rule of law by publicly complaining about criminal cases against associates including Stone, former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn and former campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
As he should.
He's like The Penguin went on a diet...but he's still The Penguin.
Notice it’s not a pardon. Because if he’s pardoned, he won’t be able to plead the 5th in any testimony against Trump.
When FOX reports this they are: a) testing the waters; and b) softening USA to the notion of a Stone commuted sentence. Why is Reuters reporting it?
Of course realDonaldTrump the bankrupt loser coward and most corrupt president ever is going to pardon Stone. And the entire GOP is rolling over and letting the corruption continue. & more Americans die from their inept and rudderless leadership. shame TraitorsOfAmerica
Of course he is lol
TrumpCrimeFamily Capo Payday TraitorsOfAmerica
Pardoning a co-conspirator is pure corruption. CorruptGOP CorruptTrump
Trump's day in court will come... and these 'favours' will be of zero use to him; watch the rats desert Trumptanic.
Duh
Definitely a vampire
LAW & ORDER......
Here we fucking go again
He has dirt on the Orange Rapist. We may have another 'camera outtage'. Surely commuting him would look too corrupt even for this administration, I could be wrong.
Doing so would top, on the outrages meter, Clinton's pardon of Mark Rich.
Defiantly worth the trigger 👌
Surprise 🙄🤦🏿♀️
Because of course he would. No surprise there.
Wonder what Stone has done in NY state...
Is anyone surprised by this? I’m not. But he will not do it before November because he knows what will happen. And he won’t be able to do it after because he will become a civilian and will be facing all the indictments that are waiting for him 👍 They might share a cell!
He's not considering. We all know he's doing it. When he & his fellow crooks break any law & get caught, they're being treated very unfairly & it's all a hoax'. He's gonna misuse his powers to set aside the law. You or me break the law & suddenly he's a law & order president🤔
Commuting Roger Sentence would be a travesty, a dishonest and dishonorable act. RogerStone TeamTrump
He should consider it would be better to have Stone as his cell mate than Cohen after he leaves office, and is sent to jail for tax fraud.
But who's going to commute trump sentence? He can sit in cell with ghislanemaxwell
Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit has a fraternal twin brother. Cool!
I just said it is stupid to publish president's tax returns to public because it exposes the presidency to attack. Presidency should be protected. Facebook bans me. All FB cares about is it's stock price and has total disregard for free speech. FB is far worse than Nazi gestapo.
Hope prosecutors saved something to change him with after trump’s gone. January 2021.
It sounds like hes knows it would be wrong
Corruption at the very top of government.
Stupid move before the election.
If anyone deserves to spend a month in the slammer, it’s this guy!
Stone might be a sleaze ball but he's no criminal. Lying to the FBI shouldn't be a crime unless it is material. Bill Clinton set the precedent.
Corrupt man does corrupt shit. News at 11.
HOW MUCH DO YOU PAY TO FIGURE THESE THINGS OUT? This was a given since day one... just like Flynn. Trump can't let the potential stool pigeons remain in jail. They have the truth that will nail his ass to the wall. THEY HAVE HIS BALLS... AND ONLY ONE WAY HE GET'S THEM BACK.
The crazy protect their own
