need state level charges to send him away.

(6,377 posts)18. You may be right on that.
But with the impeachment hearings front and center right now, I do think that pardoning Stone would only make him look even more guilty.

(9,263 posts)24. Trump could care less and neither will stone as a condition to a pardon
is acknowledging the underlying guilt BUT can reinforce a democratic message of trump and his circle as being totally corrupt.

WASHINGTON Roger J. Stone Jr., a former aide and longtime friend of President Trump, was found guilty on Friday of obstructing a congressional investigation into Russias interference in the 2016 election in what prosecutors said was an effort to protect Mr. Trump.
Mr. Stone, 67, was charged with lying to the House Intelligence Committee, trying to block the testimony of another potential witness and concealing reams of evidence from investigators. Prosecutors claimed he tried to thwart the committees work because the truth would have looked terrible for both the president and his campaign. In all, he faced seven felony charges and was found guilty on all counts.
The government built its case over the past week with testimony from a friend of Mr. Stone and two former Trump campaign officials, buttressed by hundreds of exhibits that exposed Mr. Stones disdain for congressional and criminal investigators. Confronted with his lies under oath by one associate, prosecutors said, Mr. Stone wrote back: No one cares. They asked the jurors to deliver a verdict proving him wrong.
The evidence showed that in the months leading up to the 2016 election, Mr. Stone strove to obtain emails that Russia had stolen from Democratic computers and funneled to WikiLeaks, which released them at strategic moments timed to damage Hillary Clinton, Mr. Trumps Democratic opponent. Mr. Stone briefed the Trump campaign about whatever he had picked up about WikiLeaks plans every chance he got, Jonathan Kravis, a lead prosecutor, said.

to get his affairs in order.
I hope the missus spends his last cent so he's broke when he gets out.
