Over the weekend, veteran Republican political operative Roger Stone posted photos of himself at a West Palm Beach gun show, hawking copies of his presidential pardon.

“Great Time at the South Florida Gun and Knife Show,” he proclaimed.

Stone was granted the pardon in December of 2020, preceded by a commutation of the four-year sentence he received the previous February for lying to Congress. He is reported by The New York Times to have sought a second pardon covering any possible crimes he may have committed while attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
