against Trump and his gang. If he lies in his testimony, his pardon could be invalidated and he could be forced to complete his sentence in prison.

Trump feels strong pressure to win reelection to run out the clock on his various crimes. So, I think that Stone will be required to "suck it up" and wear a number until the day after the election.
