If Trump colluded with Russia, and Trump knows that proof is imminent, could he use this method to protect himself and the GOP in 2020?

Step 1: Trump Pardons every possible person related to the happenings, then resigns his presidency. And yes, he can pardon people before they ae charged, just as Ford did Nixon.

Step 2: Mike Pence, in his only act as President, pardons former President Trump, then resigns himself.

Pence has yet to be accused of wrongdoing in the matter, and in fact wasn't named as Trump's running mate on the dates that are being looked at, so Pence will not be in need of a pardon.

Step 3: Pence resigns, and House Speaker Paul Ryan, another man who wouldnt have been involved, is next in line.

President Ryan strongly condemns the actions and subsequent pardons and promises a new era of honesty and transparency to the American people and rolls up his sleaves and gets to work, in an era where the Russian investigation is irrelevant and behind us. (No one left to prosecute due to the pardons)

Result: Trump and company ae off the hook, and uninvolved Paul Ryan will likely not be dogged by it in 2020.
