#STONE DOJ does NOT support Roger Stone's Emergency Appeal to delay prison sentence — sked to report July 14. When asked @ABC Wednesday, AG Barr did not rule out possibility of pardon or sentence being commuted. Called Stone prosecution + sentencing “appropriate” @ClareHymes22 pic.twitter.com/jhygrlBKpo— Catherine Herridge (@CBS_Herridge) July 9, 2020
I can’t remember what Roger Stone was convicted of but perhaps Barr is saying his prosecution and sentencing are “appropriate” to set precedent for future arrests. Since Barr also did not rule out possibility of pardon or sentence commuted. Can only POTUS do that or can the DoJ do something in that regard?
