President Trump is expected to announce that he will commute Roger Stone’s sentence, just days before the longtime political operative is slated to report to prison to serve more than three years for charges stemming from former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, Fox News has learned..
The president, as recently as Friday morning, has said he was “looking at” offering Stone clemency, saying he was “very unfairly treated.”
Trump, for weeks, has signaled he could be open to granting Stone clemency — tweeting last month that Stone was “a victim of a corrupt and illegal Witch Hunt, one which will go down as the greatest political crime in history. He can sleep well at night!”
President Trump on the lawn hints that a Roger Stone pardon might be coming. He said: "I'll be looking at it. I think Roger Stone was very unfairly treated…In the meantime, Comey and all these guys are walking around including Biden and Obama."

As Donald Trump prepares to pardon Roger Stone and Michael Flynn, remember that recently released documents in the Stone case confirm that Stone—and an unnamed {*cough*} "Lieutenant General"—were involved in an intricate plot to collude with the Israelis and Turks pre-election.
