Ironic timing, given that the charges include witness tampering and obstruction of justice.

WaPo:
The charge of witness tampering against Stone carries a statutory maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, and the other counts up to five-year terms, although a first offender would face far less time under federal sentencing guidelines.
So my guess is he'll do a couple years, assuming he doesn't win on appeal.

Damn, the gov't asked him to be remanded until sentencing on February 6, but they're letting him go home until then. WTF?

At this point, I don't even remember what the charges were.

I say he gets the pardon the same afternoon of sentencing.

THAT’S it?!?

What was that worth to Republicans? What was any of that worth? “Let’s spend 45 minutes lowballing the questions and making her sound even more credible. Then, when she answers each question, we’ll tacitly accept her every word as true and accurate and move on.”

is it possible they're trying to get him impeached to see if he actually can pardon himself?

I honestly wonder if they figure the House is a lost fight, and are just trying to gather information and test defenses for when it hits Congress.

There's not a chance in hell he doesn't. Unless it's before.

This sounds like the logical position to take.

Wasn't Nixon talking about trying to pardon himself BEFORE it even went to the vote so he couldn't be impeached?

Democrats did a weirdly great job today. It was almost as if they bothered to think about it at all, before showing up for the hearing. But obviously THAT can’t be right.
