“The White House announced Friday that President Trump signed an Executive Grant of Clemency commuting the "unjust sentence" of Roger Stone, 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.”

“A presidential pardon completely absolves an individual of the crime he or she is found to have committed. A commutation lessens the punishment or eliminates jail time, but leaves the conviction standing.”

Cue exploding heads.

Smart move.

Roger avoids jail time but is still on the hook so there won't be any surprise revelations over the next few months.

What's next? Full pardon on the morning of Tuesday, November 3, 2020?
