Former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell worked briefly pro-bono on Stockman’s legal team following his conviction, filing a court document calling for his release from prison pending his sentencing hearing and appeal. Powell said that justice was not served in the case.<ref name=westrec>{{cite web|url=https://www.westernjournal.com/supporters-former-gop-congressmans-conviction-latest-example-deep-state-retaliation/|title=Supporters Say Former GOP Congressman’s Conviction Latest Example of ‘Deep State’ Retaliation|author=Randy DeSoto|publisher=''The Western Journal''|date=August 2, 2018|accessdate=August 3, 2018}}</ref>

Thus far, Trump has taken no action on a pardon for Stockman. Patti Ferguson Stockman describes her husband as a “political prisoner ... who’s poured decades of his life toward preserving the liberties that were guaranteed in the [[United States Constitution|Constitution]], and he is sitting there without his own liberty.
