15. If he quits his campaign, he's admitting culpability

Maybe not in the court of law sense, but if the former guy does anything other than dig his heels in should he be charged with a federal crime, he is admitting his guilt. And that is something he'll never do. After E. Jean Carroll nicked him for a $5 million judgment, he simply reiterated that he didn't know her, had never met her, and denied doing anything wrong. He had just lost the lawsuit and still said that.

So no, regardless of what happens to him in a criminal matter, he won't for a second concede anything. At this point, he can't.
