Could happen but cheeto doesn't do anything that doesn't benefit him directly. A pardon doesn't give him anything that he doesn't already have. Unless some oligarch wants to pay up for a pardon, Stone sits in a cell.
As Chascates notes below, trump meddling in the stone sentencing.
From WaPo:
"The Justice Department plans to reduce its sentencing recommendation for longtime President Trump confidant Roger Stone, after top officials were apparently blindsided by the seven-to-nine year penalty prosecutors urged a judge to impose, a senior Justice Department official said Tuesday.
In a stunning rebuke of career prosecutors that will surely raise questions about political meddling in the case, a senior Justice Department official said the department “was shocked to see the sentencing recommendation in the Roger Stone case last night.”
“That recommendation is not what had been briefed to the department,” the official said. “The department finds the recommendation extreme and excessive and disproportionate to Stone’s offenses. The department will clarify its position later today.”
Yes, trump had a major tantrum. trump calls it unfair, but Stone was convicted by a jury. WTH?!As a former line prosecutor - aka grunt, minion, slave - we know the case law on sentences, and we need to stay within the reasonable to have judges take our recommendations seriously.trump needs to keep his fracking mouth closed, especially about his friends.
When I heard about that $12k giveaway busllshit, I immediately thought, "well, that's one way to buy the presidency." Then I realized that he was going after tRump's base. After all, those idiots have proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they will believe anything.
i want that movie
So they're disputing their own prosecutors. WTF? And what's the point anyway. Trump is going to pardon.
You MONSTER.

I'm sorry, but how is this possible?

"And the portions are so small."

"We apologize, but our entire previous sentencing memorandum was a misprint."
Ooops. Yes.
Trump doesn't care about Stone. He knows Stone committed crimes on his behalf. Trump takes all of this personally.
Tell the truth about Trump’s offenses? Get fired.
Like your ass off on his behalf to every court you talk to, tamper with witnesses, cover for shit looks bad on him? Attaboy.
In a just world, Barr serves time, too.
"WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT IS THIS?"- Jesus
