I don't want to get my hopes up, but this feels very "end of the line" for him.

Man I hope. Otherwise, I'll have no faith left in this country.

he'll get out of it one way or another. i don't even know how they're letting this guy declare a run for presidency

There are only 3 requirements for being/ running for POTUS:

Natural born citizen 35 years old 14 year residency in the US

In theory he could be found guilty, still elected and serve from a federal jail cell.

For some reason I was under the impression they couldn't be convicted of a crime

I hope so too, but even if he does go to prison, remember, Hitler did too. And then became Chancellor of Germany.

I'm afraid we will be dealing with Trump until he dies peacefully of old age.
