Unfortunately commuting his sentence means the conviction stands. Ultimately that means he's still a felon in the eyes of the law, but he just won't have to serve time.....
Personally I'd have rather seen a full pardon.....
Does commuting the sentence merely cover federal convictions, or state too? It might be the reason President Trump went this route instead of with a pardon.

Whatever the President does (pardon, commute, etc.) only applies too federal level. However I think if he remains convicted double jeopardy comes into play.
Trumps problem is there are a gazillion minimum wage workers who have been getting $4-5K a month to sit at home and that all ends this month and they’ll have to go back to working full time for $1,600/month and Biden will promise to give the $4k/month back to them.
Stone is small potato’s, we are fucked hard in the sandy ass with not even a drop of spit.

Only at a federal level.
Also to note a commutation does not affect the status of a defendant's underlying criminal conviction. I also heard 52 senate members gave the ok for Stones communtation
Bush did the same with scooter Libby
Obama did the same with chelsea Manning
Stone was not guilty of ANYTHING, illegal, but supposedly lying to Schiff????
So Stone but was a victim of all those voters who stayed home in Nov '18 and did not come out to vote for a Republican Congress person...........laziness the same thing that happened in Virginia with Northam......lazy gun owners voters who did not care enough to vote, committed suicide in Virginia............ and I am glad it hurts them.
Congress was controlled by Schiff, and he got a quick conviction for Stone, on essentially "fluff".
I blame all those who did not vote for Stones predicament.
Trump will have to Pardon him. He may need to pardon Flynn, too.
I saw a click-bait headline this morning about Pelosi attempting to craft legislation that would limit Trump's powers to pardon.
It would require a constitutional convention to change the constitution in order to limit the Presidents powers to pardon, she can FOAD. Of course she knows that and this is merely symbolic in order to pander to the sheep thinking she is doing something.
