I like Roger Stone's attitude, he simply doesn't give a damn and unlike many Democrats actually has a lot of personality and will not snitch or rat out his friends to save his own skin....The MAN has guts....

Pardons have no formal, legal effect of declaring guilt.
Whether accepting a pardon is inherently an admission of guilt is still debated by many law historians.[20] According to Associate Justice Joseph McKenna, writing the majority opinion in the U.S. Supreme Court case Burdick v. United States, a pardon "carries an imputation of guilt; acceptance a confession of it."

The key point is Stone wouldn't be able to appeal after a pardon. Which he wants to do because his of how dirty the prosecutors and judge were.

In response to the DOJ's egregious politicization of Stone’s sentencing, a bipartisan group of more than 2,600 former DOJ lawyers has noted that Attorney General Bill Barr was “doing the President’s personal bidding” and called on him to resign.
That's nice.
