Roger Stone's sentence was recently commuted by President Trump. He is still guilty of seven felony charges in obstructing Mueller's Russia collusion investigation. which we know what it yielded. He had supposedly also provided information to Wiki Leaks. Roger Stone is a senior citizen, and we are in the middle of a pandemic, but why would I say it's not a big deal?
Thus far in his first term president Trump has only commuted the criminal sentences of about 10 people. Should we compare to the previous administration, Obama's? Let's see! President Obama granted more Commutations than any president in this nation’s history. I believe the total of clemencies was about 1715 at the end. One of those commutations was Chelsea Manning (formerly Bradley Manning). What were Manning's crimes? She was sentenced to 35 years for 19 of 22 specified charges which included theft, 6 counts of espionage, and also shared information with Wiki Leaks.
My conclusion: feel free to fact check me, but I am not posting any references. Just Google it! My point is that we should compare Chelsea Manning with Roger Stone. If Manning was good enough for Obama, I suppose Stone can be good enough for Trump.

Don't get me wrong! Shortening mandatory sentences for non-violent drug offenses, such as what the FIRST STEP Act signed by Trump in 2018 did was a good thing, similarly to many of Obama's commutations.
