Wrong. A pardon can be issued any time after the commission of a crime. Why wait until after a jury found him guilty? Looks horrible. Further, pardoning Stone waives his right to assert the 5th amendment. He can be compelled to implicate everyone he conspired with. https://t.co/pnAU7kW9pB— Andrew C Laufer, Esq (@lauferlaw) February 20, 2020
