Roger Stone asked a federal judge this week for a 60-day delay in his surrender date for prison, which was supposed to be next week. The Justice Department said it didn't object. The judge just responded by granting him two weeks, meaning his new date is July 14.

The President needs to act now... commute his sentence and allow him to remain free while on appeal. This is a process crime... resulting in misstatements that were not intentional or material to the underlying criminal investigation. Given the FBI's record, anyone... everyone being investigated for any crime should take the 5th Amendment to all questions ... in order to avoid a misstatement or error due to lack of recall. I suppose one could answer all questions with the preface... I don't recall, my memory is unclear, so I take the 5th, in order to avoid misstating the facts, etc.
