Roger Stone told Fox News he is 'praying' for Trump to intervene ahead of his prison sentence.
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.
The president, as recently as Friday morning, has said he was "looking at" offering Stone clemency, saying he was "very unfairly treated."
Stone was set to report to prison on July 14 to serve 40 months. He was sentenced in February to more than three years in prison after being convicted in November 2019 on seven counts of obstruction, witness tampering and making false statements to Congress on charges that stemmed from Mueller’s investigation. Stone, however, has appealed his conviction and continues to deny any wrongdoing.
Trump, for weeks, has signaled he could be open to granting Stone clemency — tweeting last month that Stone was “a victim of a corrupt and illegal Witch Hunt, one which will go down as the greatest political crime in history. He can sleep well at night!”
During an exclusive interview with Fox News this week, Stone said he was “praying” for Trump to intervene.
When asked whether he’d prefer a pardon or a commutation of his sentence, Stone said “either one obviously would have an effect, in my opinion, of saving my life.”

Please do so, Mr. President.
Good.
Stone deserves a full pardon, not just a commutation, given how horribly he was framed and railroaded by the utterly corrupt communist judge, Amy Berman Jackson.
Makes me say ha ha to the libs.
Even though Stone is human scum.
Trump!
Bump!
Even though Stone is human scum.
Docmentation for us all please
Do it, Mr. President. The usual suspects will be outraged, but they would never vote for you anyway.
Why not Flynn as well?
Trump should commute or pardon. The Stone persecution was reprehensible.
I think this is a good idea as long as Stone stops testifying in front of Congress.
“Docmentation for us all please”
Why do you ask? Would your mind change?
God willing

I would like to see this happen ASAP.
During the Clinton years, Stone and his wife, MARY, had a group called CATHOLIC FOR CHOICE...hes getting a little payback from GOD!
BUT..I dont think he needs to go to prison.
Because Flynn is winning bigly on his own
“””Why not Flynn as well?””””
Because that is what the democrats want. If he pardons him the media will go full on that he did it to cover up Russian crimes.
Yes.
“Roger Stone, a leading Republican and longtime associate of Mr. Atwater, is advising the new abortion rights group. Mr. Stone, who is married to Ann Stone, said the party faced serious electoral consequences if it did not ease its stance on the issue. He said implacable opposition to abortion could drive young people and women out of the party.
‘Barry Goldwater Conservatism’
He also argued that an abortion-rights stance was in keeping with the conservative tradition.”
