The pardons, boss. You forgot the pardons.

As noted upthread, many federal crimes are also state crimes - which can't be pardoned. Many federal crimes also give rise to civil liability - which can't be pardoned.

Nor any guarantee you'll get a pardon. I mean, a very likely scenario is that your crimes will be first discovered after Trump leaves office, when a successor gets access to all the records that Trump controls while President. Trump's immunity carries on, but his ability to grant pardons has disappeared. And even if not, there's the big chance that he just won't bother - lots of folks asked Trump for pardons that he didn't grant in his first term.
