If, as Stone and Assange claim, they didn't conspire distribute Democratic emails hacked by Russian intelligence, Stone trying to get Assange pardoned is okay. But if they did collaborate, prosecutors could argue that Stone trying to get Assange pardoned was part of a conspiracy.

Stone later took his effort public, calling for Assange's pardon in right leaning pubs. https://dailycaller.com/2018/02/09/roger-stone-free-julian-assange-mr-president/ … And he's said explicitly that Trump's pardons for people like D'Souza should signal to suspects caught in the Russia scandal to stay quiet and expect pardons.pic.twitter.com/Ob9KH8dbnX
