So galling.\
\
\"President Donald Trump on Friday fully commuted the criminal sentence of his longtime ally Roger Stone, just four days before the Republican operative was due to begin a 40-month prison term.\
\
The White House, in announcing the executive clemency grant to Stone, called the 67-year-old Republican operative "a victim of the Russia hoax," and someone who "would be put at serious medical risk" from the coronavirus if he was imprisoned.\
\
"In light of the egregious facts and circumstances surrounding his unfair prosecution, arrest, and trial, the President has determined to commute his sentence," White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement.\"
