Winning! Judge orders Roger Stone to start serving prison sentence July 14

Trump's bestie Roger Stone, who was recently found guilty for lying to Congress about his role as a backchannel between the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks during the 2016 election and also convicted of witness tampering after obstructing Congress' inquiry into Russian meddling, will begin serving his prison sentence on July 14.

Stone requested a 60-day delay, and the Justice Department followed up by saying it supported his request under Bill Barr's initiative, but stressed that he wasn't getting special treatment because he is a longtime friend and adviser to President Donald Trump.

Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson didn't go for it, and delayed the prison sentence for two weeks, and ordered him to spend that time at home, a de facto quarantine that puts him one step closer to serving his three-year term, according to new court filings.

Stone appeared on FOX today for an interview, asking Trump for a pardon. He also raised concerns he may be infected with COVID while in prison, even though the prison he is being sent to has no cases of the virus.

"I think this is a death sentence," Stone said. "I don't think I will live to see my appeal succeed, which is why I have been very forthright about my praying that the President acts, either with a commutation of my sentence ... or, of course, a pardon. That's completely within his power."
