Right? Call me a cynic but we all know nothing will actually happen. Dude was impeached twice and has been on record with plenty of crimes and he's still running for president.

Pretty sure he can run for president from jail. From a. Jail cell he would still be the front runner and his base would be donating to him. So he could pardon himself

I also saw somewhere that if he is convicted and doesn't end up as the nominee for the Republicans, the nominee could run on a platform of "I'll pardon Trump" so that the trump supporters vote for the nominee. I could see this happening.
