NEW RULE. You can only make a prediction on DU if it's expected to occur within the next 24 hours.

The Pardon power really was a terrible decision. I feel like that's one of the biggest threats to Mueller's ability to take down all the criminals.

If he pardons him before proceedings have finished, including court cases, then it becomes evidence of Obstruction of Justice.
And if he does, then Stone would have no Fifth Amendment protection.
Further, a Presidential pardon does not affect cases in state courts.

The Wall Street Journal reports that, according to a person familiar with the matter, Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating whether Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone dined with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in 2016, ahead of Assanges release of hacked emails damaging to Hillary Clinton.
In an email to former protégé, now enemy Sam Nunberg on August 4, 2016, which the Journal obtained, Stone put things pretty plainly, writing: I dined with Julian Assange last night. The very next day, Stone tweeted, Hillary lies about Russian Involvement in DNC hack Julian Assange is a hero. (His Twitter account has since been suspended.)
But in an interview with the paper, Stone wielded a defense often used by President Trump and his defenders: He was just joking.
I never dined with Assange, Stone said, maintaining that there was no such meeting. Its not what you say, its what you do. This was said in jest.

You can't get us all excited over a prediction which has an indefinite date or deadline. I might not live until eternity or the end of Bob Mueller's investigation; whichever comes first.

Sorry - I predict that the Con won't serve a full term.
