(268 posts)In 2019, Stone was indicted by Robert Mueller, the special counsel investigating Russian election interference and links between Trump and Moscow.
Stone was convicted on seven counts of lying to Congress, obstruction of justice and witness tampering, in relation to his links to Trumps campaign and to WikiLeaks, which released Democratic emails obtained by Russian hackers.
In February 2020, prosecutors recommended Stone be sentenced to between seven and nine years in prison. After Trump complained by tweet, the Department of Justice intervened, saying the recommendation was too harsh. Four prosecutors resigned in protest.
Stone was sentenced to 40 months in prison but never went to jail. In December 2020, in the midst of Trumps attempt to overturn his election defeat by Joe Biden, Trump granted Stone clemency.

It's possible that Roger Stone is involved in this (the recent discovery of classified documents at Biden's old office). If Stone was involved, maybe he was doing a favor for Trump.
