President Trump told reporters Friday that he is “looking at” pardoning Roger Stone, as he continued to build suspense over whether he will intervene on behalf of his former aide and longtime confidant before he is scheduled to report to prison next week.

As the president left the White House en route to Florida for a series of events, he was asked about the prospect of issuing a pardon to Stone, who was convicted in a trial last year of lying to Congress and witness tampering.

“Well, I’ll be looking at it,” Trump said. “I think Roger Stone was very unfairly untreated, as were many people.”

Trump’s latest remarks followed comments in a pair of interviews Thursday that suggested that he is leaning in the direction of a pardon.

4. And thus putting the final nail in the coffin

And handing the presidency to the next president of the United States Joe Biden.


If he's going to go down might as well save as many of his friends as he can on the way out what does it really matter at this point

8. I wonder if he realizes that Stone cannot then use the 5th amendment

and can be compelled to testify against Trump?

10. Stone

That is why I think that instead of pardoning Stone, Donnie may instead just commute Stone’s sentence.

5. Which will result in Stone

having to answer any questions truthfully.

11. Trump yonder looks...

[marble falls]

12. If he does, its a sign he's given up hope of re-election. He'll pardon a bunch and resign and ...

Pence will pardon him by Nov.

13. Shows just how guilty he is

14. Someone should remind Trump ...

Someone should remind him that the pardon needs to be in English. The original Cyrillic won't do.
