President Trump should issue a Full Presidential Pardon to Mr. Stone. Now.
Probation.
Or pardon.
Time served. Done poof!
I hope President Donald J. Trump would pardon or at least commute Roger Stone’s sentence although it probably will have to wait until after November.

clearly we want the jerks addresses because we want to send them Christmas card (with the required lump of coal from Santa) this year...
Then, AFTER Trump is re-elected... we want to send the DOJ holdover perps formal notices of Roger’s pardon in Early January...
Happy New Year Nancy Drones.
Sentencing is on the 20th. This will be a Trump vs Deep State showdown with a clear winner and loser.
