The judge at one point even asked if the DOJ had considered charging him with treason his actions were so bad.
On the bright side though, he now cannot plead the 5th so any subpoena by congress/FBI to speak on if there was any sort of expectation of a pardon for protection of Trump must be answered. If he were to choose to ignore said subpoena, he would then head right back to jail...so in the end this may not be a bad thing at all. Interesting to note that even Barr in his confirmation said such an arrangement would be criminal, by the president of the United States that is.
Couldn't they still bring state charges if they wanted?
