I doubt Trump will forgive and forget when he gets re-elected.

He could well go down in history as the only US president to be
impeached twice unsuccessfully. This is how democracy fails.

If he gets re-elected, I'd say there is a good chance of that. Just look
at what he's already doing. This Roger Stone thing is a classic.
Everyone knows he's going to pardon all of his criminal buddies.
If he loses the election, it will be before he leaves office.
If he wins, knowing Trump, I would expect within months of his win,
maybe in his inaugural speech. So, why pull this further, stupid,
divisive stunt? Just let justice play out. Who knows what sentence
the judge will hand out? The DOJ says 7 to 9, Stone's lawyers
will say probation. Maybe she gives him 2 years. BFD. Trump is
going to pardon him anyway. But no, once again, Trump had to corrupt
the office of president, destroy the integrity of the system of justice,
for nothing. He not only attacked the sentence recommendation,
he basically claimed that Stone really did nothing wrong, when he
lied many times to Congress and investigators, intimidated witnesses,
disobeyed the judges gag order and even posted a photo of the judge
with cross hairs. That's Trump's kind of guy.

So, Trump thinks this will make him look good to his minions.
And already Congress is starting an investigation into this,
calling Barr to answer questions. And so, on it goes. And then
Trump claims that he's not the cause of most of the terrible,
divisive turmoil.
