Who are we fooling? We all know he will get away with all of it and never serve a day in prison.

But he's in DC so he'd be busted by federal marshals and remanded to NY for prosecution.

term is up after he is a lame duck. Pardon by Pence.
Fight double jeopardy in NY state court. He already has a pardon for the crimes.
Unless he dies, that is the endgame.

He won't be in the White House...more likely he'll be in an unknown location, close to an airport with a private jet waiting to fly him to a country that the US doesn't have an extradition treaty with!
He may or may not have Melania and Barron with him, but he will leave Don Jr, Ivanka, and Eric to look out for themselves...Pence will quietly slither out of the VP residence and make his way back to Indiana.
