According to Glenn Kirschner:

'Biden and the new AG, if he wins, in Jan can do a maiden law and undo it. They can say they looked at the case, it was corrupt and an abuse of power and rescind the commutation. Then it can go to the court and a judge can decide if this was a just commutation, likely he will say it was corrupt.
Also, the next DOJ, once cleaned out and restructured after Barr, can take Stone to court and Stone can explain how this wasn't corrupt. Good luck with that Roger, since he already said in writing that it was a quid quo pro with POTUS, basically a bribe to keep quiet.'

I'm not convinced that there is a simple answer to that. A pardon really should be specific enough struggle4progress Jul 2020 #13

No. sarisataka Jul 2020 #14

No, but I am sure Stone is guilty of other crimes WonderGrunion Jul 2020 #15
