President Trump today was asked by a reporter if he would pardon Roger Stone.
His reply:
“I don't want to say that yet…”
During a photo op in the Oval Office, Donald Trump again thanked his Justice Department for intervening in the sentencing recommendation for Stone yesterday.
Again, the impeached president called a 9-year sentence "a disgrace."
Trump from pooler @Laura_Figueroa –
”They treated Roger Stone very badly…”
“no one even knows what he did…it’s a disgrace…they ought to apologize to him”

Vaguely surprised this didn't exist yet. Interesting timing.
