Trump wins, he pardons and acquits himself and is empowered to continue his criminal behavior without consequence. If he loses, he faces justice for all the things he’s done.

You're correct about the federal charges. There's also the possibility that he pre-emptively and secretly pardoned himself for all future crimes while President. There's a legal argument to be made that he cannot do that, but it's never been tested before, and I would not expect the SCOTUS to side with justice in that case. It's maddening that they haven't prosecuted him for his many many crimes already.

Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.
