Maybe - but by the time we get to 2029, nearly all of that will have resolved.
Probably. But we're talking 2024. I think he is running to avoid prison. And if the state charges are pending in 2029, just waiting for him to complete his term, he will be highly motivated to subvert by any means necessary to avoid prison. I also have the same question about him dismissing his own charges and granting himself a pardon. That almost certainly would end up in the SCOTUS (never been done before).
IF he can self-pardon (assuming SCOTUS rules that way), then there is no reason for him not to attempt to abscond with the Oval Office in 2029, because if he fails he can always pardon himself on the way out. No risk at all for him. I'm sure the idea of prison scares the crap out of him.
