Trump is afraid of Stone, because he knows who Stone is, what he knows, and what he'd do if Trump left him hanging.

Long ago, Stone made a deal with the devil. Now that devil is personified in Trump, who is able and ready to cash in his chips, including the bundle he has from Stone. Trump will bide his time before he determines that Stone is out there, knows too much, and will have to go.

(38,601 posts)In the hours before the commutation on Friday, Mr. Stone said Mr. Trump knew he could count on him. He knows I was under enormous pressure to turn on him, Mr. Stone told the journalist Howard Fineman. It would have eased my situation considerably. But I didnt. They wanted me to play Judas. I refused.

Cowardly Painted Clown: "Here, they told me to commute your sentence so those Dems can't make you testify and you retain your amendedable privileges and rights."
Stone: "Good Boy, now piss off."
