Even if Trump resigns and Pence pardons Trump, could state charges be filed.....

for the attack on the Capital Building? I hope the State of Maryland could?

11. DC isn't a state

I'm not sure those wouldn't still be "federal charges" which would be covered by a presidential pardon.

2. No. Capitol is Federal territory.

7. Yes I understand. DC's jurisdiction may be a bit different.

I have read differing opinions.

5. DC is Federal territory

No state has jurisdiction.
Moreover, even if DC became a state, the capitol grounds would still be federal territory.

6. If it is in the District of Columbia

then it falls under the federal pardon power.

Also I think an incitement to riot would be a hard case to prove in the legal code. It is the combination of Trump's position and the speech which makes it impeachable. Also his response to the violence when he had a duty to respond as the President. All those are reasons for removal.

9. Pence will not pardon Trump. And Trp knows that.

So he will not resign.

[Firestorm49]

10. Don't worry. He won't resign.

[Pachamama]

12. I think he will and self pardon and his kids right before

If reports are true that Pence has told him he won’t pardon Trump, then I think he will do it realizing it’s his last option
