https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/28/politics/roger-stone-prison-date/index.htmlLongtime Trump friend and political adviser Roger Stone must report to prison by June 30, the Bureau of Prisons said on Thursday.
Stone has said in court filings that he plans to challenge that reporting date as he appeals his conviction -- though it's not clear how successful that may be.
.....
Stone is designated to be inmate #19579-104 after a federal judge sentenced him to 40 months in prison for lying to Congress and witness intimidation. A jury had found him guilty last year in a case that proved he had lied to protect President Donald Trump when the then-Republican-led House of Representatives inquired about the 2016 campaign's efforts to reach WikiLeaks.
Stone has been living at his home in Florida since his arrest In early 2019, the last criminal case brought in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. In addition to challenging his jury trial, Stone has openly sought a pardon from Trump in recent weeks.

(24,284 posts)I think Trump writes him off as a loser and forgets about him. Same as Manafort and Cohen. He has no loyalty to people he can no longer use. I honestly think he wouldn't pardon his own son if he were convicted of anything.

(257 posts)So in the middle of a pandemic it is OK to send your kids to school, but unsafe for Manafort to remain in prison...
but he hasn't been pardoned.

(12,583 posts)That way he'll have "clean hands." It's the standard mob boss modus operandi -- which Michael Cohen says Trump uses. Fat Donnie will publicly lament that Stone was treated "unfairly," and Barr will release him. That way no one can say Trump pardoned him just because he was a friend.

(9,090 posts)stone and corsi are players in the redacted parts and so is hannity - that is about talk radio, they are not social media geniuses, but they are long time talk radio operatives and feeders.
hannity's name is completely redacted and because he was mentioned incidentally several timess in the mueller report he should be in the glossary - the name and description between graf and hawker is completely gone. if the limbaugh was part of the redacted parts of the report but he was not mentioned in other aspects then they might leave it out completely from the glossary
