President Donald Trump wasted little time on Thursday responding to a court ruling of Roger Stone, one of his longtime allies.

While on hand to give the commencement speech for the graduating class of the Hope for Prisoners program, the president was asked about the Stone case.

On Thursday, Stone was sentenced to 40 months in prison. Trump didn’t explicitly make any promises, but he seemed to tease that he may be considering a pardon for Stone.

“I am following this very closely, and I want to see it play out to its fullest,” Trump told reporters. “I’m not going to do anything in terms of the great powers bestowed upon a president of the United States.”

“I want the process to play out. I think that is the best thing to do. Because I would love to see Roger exonerated, and I would love to see it happen.”

“Because I personally think that he was treated very unfairly,” the president said.

Trump then went after Hillary Clinton and mentioned her email scandal.

“Hillary Clinton leaked more classified documents than any human being, I believe in the history of the United States of America,” he said. “And she deleted 33,000 emails,” Trump said.

The president then noted explosive reports about how Tomeka Hart, the jury forewoman in the Stone case, was a Democrat who made a slew of anti-Trump posts on social media.

“The woman who was in charge of the jury is totally tainted when you take a look. How can you have a person like this? She was an anti-Trump activist,” he said.

“This is a woman who was an anti-Trump person, totally. I don’t know if this is a fact. But she had a horrible social media accounts, the things that she said on the accounts were unbelievable,” he added.

Trump then seemed to suggest he was considering a pardon for Stone given he called it an “unfair” process several times, but was cautious about saying anything definitively.

“We will watch the process and watch it very closely. And at some point, I will make a determination. But Roger Stone and everybody has to be treated fairly. And this has not been a fair process,” Trump said.

WATCH:

The president, of course, has the Constitutional authority to issue a pardon to Stone if he wants to.

Prior to Trump’s comments on Thursday, controversy erupted at the Department of Justice when all four prosecutors on Stone’s case abruptly resigned after the DOJ came out against the sentencing recommendation they made for Stone.

The prosecutors originally recommended up to 9 years in prison.

Stone was convicted of obstructing a congressional investigation and false statements to Congress.

The judge in the case ultimately dropped that down to 40 months, which is just over three years.

Time will tell what happens next, but many would like to see Trump issue a pardon for Stone.
