"if he loses"
the outcome is already known, unless you expect a faithless elector rebellion
"skate on any"
any FEDERAL charge... he can't pardon himself (well he can't do this at all, probably scotus would say) for state crimes, such as these:
Cyrus Vance, New York DA, investigating him for criminal tax evasion over the Stormy Daniels hush money payments
Letitia James, New York AG, investigating Trump Organization for tax fraud for lying about real estate valuations
Letitia James, New York AG, investigating Trump Foundation for self-dealing and campaign finance violation
Gurbir Grewal, New Jersey AG, investigating Trump Inaugural Committee for bribery
Yeah.... Trump is screwed.
the outcome is already known, unless you expect a faithless elector rebellion
The outcome is already known but is being challenged and is by no means official.
Faithless electors putting him back in office is about as likely as him winning every challenge or lawsuit he's filed or will file.
any FEDERAL charge
Yes. Excellent point.
