Does he take the risk of pardoning one of his kids (Jr, Ivanka, whatever) after just that one gets indicted... what if *that* is the step too far and it gets him impeached and removed? What if the rest of the clan gets indicted AFTER? Now he's not POTUS and can't pardon them...

Should he wait until more of them are indicted? How many more? Will there be any more? Maybe that one is the only one at legal risk...

Too soon? Too late? When should he take the plunge?

This is going to drive him crazy.
