But we've heard that before. Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort said he would not flip. And then he did. Same for Michael Cohen. Same for Michael Flynn. And on and on.
The pressure on Stone to cooperate will be intense. Federal prosecutors have a 97 percent success rate. Stone is affluent but not fabulously wealthy -- he can't afford millions in pricey defense attorneys. He knows he's facing possibly four or five years in prison or longer. By the time he would go to trial and be sentenced, he'd be close to seventy. He's now looking at a serious chunk of the rest of his life behind bars.
So if he flips, who would he turn on? The list isn't very long. And chances are most on that short list have the surname of Trump or are part of the Trump family, like Jared Kushner, the President's son-in-law.
When does the next shoe fall? Will any more shoes fall? Time will tell. Stay tuned.
