If he were impeached, Pence would certainly pardon him for all offenses.
If he was not impeached and lost in 2020 he would then be prosecuted and imprisoned for his crimes because the Democratic president would not pardon him.
His safest bet would be to make a deal with Pence that he steps down and then would be pardoned.

(891 posts)Trying to play politics and hoping to win in 2020 is essentially stating that nothing matters other than elections, which is flat out wrong.
Also, I really fail to understand how not impeaching trump makes it more likely he will lose in 2020.

I do think they need to get the full report so they have all the facts before starting though.
It's the only possible way to convince 20 Republican senators to join them.
If they didn't get enough to convict it would be a black Stain on the Republicans that support Trump. History will see the truth.

(1,603 posts)He can be pardoned on Federal offenses. He cannot be pardoned for state offenses. He's in his mid-seventies, and despite what his personal physician may say, his health is not great. If he went to prison, he would likely die there.
Investigate the hell out of him. Show every single criminal act that he has done. Make the Republicans own Trump. Play out the clock over the next eighteen months. Make the GOP beg for the Democrats to impeach Trump because the alternative would involve having Trump as an albatross around each GOP Senator up for re-election.
