7. He Could Run, Because No Matter What He Does, NYS Is Still Going To Get Him

So unless he runs, he's busted. There's nothing he can do about what he's facing in NYS. Nothing, except run away.

And the Feds could still come after him as well anyway, despite any pardon shenanigans. If there is solid evidence he sold out the country, and I suspect there is, the Feds will come too and any pardon would be hard pressed against rock solid cases of at the very least, espionage, sedition and possibly treason.

I do not think he will leave office early. David__77 Dec 2020 #1
