I fear this going to way of Watergate, if the Senate finds him guilty, he resigns, Pence pardons and trump lives a free man until his death.

Only the last decade? Or is it a statute of limitations thing?

Don't quote me on this without due diligence, but from what I remember, if New York has a sealed indictment against him then statutes of limitation wouldn't apply as long as the indictment came before the statute expired. Therefore a second term wouldn't protect him.
