10. Stone knows where the bodies are buried

My guess is his request to Trump is simple. You can wait to pardon me. But I better not spend one night in prison.

It's an interesting situation. Let's just say Stone gets prison time. Can he really afford to bring down Trump, who is his only chance at a pardon? An interesting cat/mouse game.

I think they waited too late on this. Now they've backed this judge into a corner. Let's say she gives Stone prison time. Like 5 years.

Have they set her up for some sort of appeal where either a new trial is ordered or new sentencing? If Stone stays out on appeal, the 2020 election will be over before the appeal is heard.
