STONE IS NOT GOING TO PRISON TODAY, SO THAT WAS FAKE NEWS... politico.com Jackson had ordered that Stone not be required to surrender to server his three-year, four-month prison sentence any earlier than Thursday, but his attorneys did not file any motion Thursday to ask that he be allowed to remain free pending appeal. It is unclear how soon the federal Bureau of Prisons might order Stone to report to jail. Normally, that would happen within a month or two, but due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many federal prisons have stopped or slowed the process of accepting new inmates. Stone’s appeal likely won’t be resolved for months, probably not until after the November election. However, a stay motion prompted by Stone being given a date to report to prison would almost certainly be ruled on the D.C. Circuit within days or weeks. Stone and his allies have also been urging Trump to grant a pardon that would effectively erase any legal consequences of the conviction, obviating the need for the longtime political strategist to spend time behind bars. The president has repeatedly decried Stone’s prosecution and trial as miscarriage of justice, but has been cagey about whether or when he might grant clemency to his longtime adviser. After Stone was sentenced in February, Trump seemed to signal that he preferred to see Stone vindicated through the legal process rather than have his conviction nullified by a presidential edict.
