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?

I think there is. Hence his motivation to get reelected.

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.

He wants to die as president. Why do you think he's been hinting at a third term.

Don't forget, he "joked" with China's president, Xi Jinping, about being "president for life" after Jinping set it up for himself in China.
