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.
