Trump ain’t going to jail, doubtful he’ll even ever be indicted, some lesser subordinates perhaps, possibly even a family member, but never Trump
Two major reasons, one his age, his army of accountants and attorneys would delay and extend any criminal hearing out beyond Donnie’s life span. And the second, as we’ve learned from January 6th, Trump can get away with anything short of actually shooting someone on 5th Avenue, and what makes this true, which we also learned from 1/6, a major political party and a major news network will defend him regardless of the validity of the charge

Biden nominates top prosecutors, including one to oversee Jan. 6 riot cases
WASHINGTON, July 26 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday nominated a slate of eight people to serve as U.S. attorneys, including the top federal prosecutor who will oversee the Jan. 6 Capitol riots cases if he is confirmed, and a progressive prosecutor in Massachusetts.
Matthew Graves, a former federal prosecutor now with the corporate law firm DLA Piper, is Biden's choice to run the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, which has been overwhelmed with a flood of cases stemming from the riots.
Federal prosecutors have arrested more than 535 people on charges of taking part in the violence, in which followers of then-President Donald Trump fought police, smashed windows and sent members of Congress and then-Vice President Mike Pence running for safety.
Graves earlier in his career served as a prosecutor in the same U.S. Attorney's Office he would lead, securing a guilty plea from former U.S. Representative Jesse Jackson Jr for misusing campaign funds and investigating banks for sanctions violations.

One difficulty could be fielding an impartial jury but that is doable. Trump's professional support system won't slow down a competent prosecution team and Trump's charmed existence only holds true with his base. There's a very large segment of the public that has neither been swooned by Trump or can't stand the man and if the Justice Department or the Manhattan DA can come up with a credible case Trump conceivably could have a felony conviction in his portfolio before the 2024 election which would keep him out of the race.

and yet another Trump crony up on multiple felony charges pleads not guilty, join the club Barrack
Trump inauguration head pleads not guilty to being foreign agent
(Reuters) - Steve Bannon has been charged with defrauding Trump supporters in a campaign to help build the president’s signature wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, prosecutors said on Thursday.
Bannon served as a top adviser to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and later worked as White House chief strategist before leaving the administration in August 2017.
Seven other Trump associates have either been charged or convicted of various crimes.
ROGER STONE
Roger Stone, Trump’s longtime friend and adviser, was convicted of lying under oath to lawmakers investigating Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election.
A Washington jury in November 2019 convicted Stone on all seven criminal counts of obstruction of a congressional investigation, five counts of making false statements to Congress, and tampering with a witness.
The day before Stone was due to report to prison to begin serving a sentence of three years and four months, Trump commuted his sentence.
PAUL MANAFORT
Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was found guilty of tax fraud and bank fraud in a jury trial in August 2018. A month later, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges related to money laundering, lobbying violations and witness tampering.
Prosecutors said he tried to conceal millions of dollars he was paid as a political consultant for pro-Russian Ukrainian politicians.
He was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison and in May was released to finish his sentence at home due to the coronavirus pandemic.
MICHAEL COHEN
Trump’s former personal lawyer is serving a three-year prison sentence at home due to the coronavirus pandemic. He pleaded guilty in August 2018 to crimes including orchestrating ‘hush money’ payments before the 2016 election to women who had said they had sexual encounters with Trump.
Cohen also pleaded guilty in November 2018 to lying to Congress about negotiations concerning a proposed Trump Tower in Moscow, a project that never materialized. He said Trump implicitly directed him to lie about the project.
Trump has denied those allegations.
MICHAEL FLYNN
The retired Army lieutenant general served as Trump’s national security adviser for less than a month in 2017. He pleaded guilty that year to lying to the FBI about his interactions with Russia’s ambassador to the United States in the weeks before Trump took office.
He then accused the FBI of entrapping him and asked the judge to dismiss the charge. The Justice Department has denied the allegations of prosecutorial misconduct.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has yet to rule on the matter.
RICK GATES
The former deputy chairman of Trump’s campaign pleaded guilty in February 2018 to conspiracy against the United States and lying to investigators. Gates agreed to cooperate with former Special Counsel Robert Mueller and testified as a prosecution witness against Manafort, his former business partner, and Stone. Gates was sentenced in December 2019 to 45 days in jail.
GEORGE NADER
George Nader, an informal Trump adviser on foreign policy and witness in the Mueller investigation, was sentenced in June to 10 years in prison by a federal judge in Virginia. He pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography and bringing a boy to the United States for sex.
GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS
The former Trump campaign adviser was sentenced in September 2018 to 14 days in prison after pleading guilty in October 2017 to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian officials and a Maltese professor who told him the Russians had “dirt” on Clinton.
