I have no doubt Trump wants to pardon Stone, however, we all know how Trumps brain works. If he sees a profit for himself he will pardon Stone. If he thinks he will not profit, Stone will be going to prison. That's how I see it.

We shall see.

Basically I agree. He's never doing anything unless it benefits him personally, and I can't see this benefiting him.
