I think he only resigns if the evidence that convicts them incriminates him.
Meanwhile ,how much will it take fir him to relieve Jared of any official duties?

(748 posts)In that, how would Trump's resigning the presidency possibly operate to affect whether Trump, Jr. and Kushner would be prosecuted for their own crimes?
If Trump seeks to "save" Trump, Jr. and Kushner from prison, the most straightforward option, it would seem, would be for him to pardon them. Trump's pardon power, of course, only extends to federal charges.

The jackass literally filed his papers to run in 2020 the day after he took office.
There is NOTHING in his behavior to indicate he would walk away from POTUS, and this rationale is absurd given that as POTUS he can, you know, pardon his family if by some miracle they actually are successfully prosecuted ...
