We should all bear in mind that Trump needs to win the presidency at all costs, desperately. Prosecution, under Federal law, is not yet time-barred, and will only become so, ifTrump can win a second term. Prosecution under New York State law is still a possibility but also may become moot if he can win another term.
There remains the possibility that if Trump sees there is no way out he will resign and allow Pence to succeed to the office, on condition of his pardoning Trump. Even if he can't make a deal with Cuomo for a State pardon, he could rely on New York's double jeopardy laws to challenge prosecution in that State.
Under a worst-case scenario, the man can blow up the world.
