Concessions

Trump is unlikely to ever concede, so long as he is able to persuade people to send in money supposedly for his "legal fund" but in-the-fine-print partially diverted for other purposes.  This is not unlike the televangelists' financial scams.

Trump has:

• Great debts
• Enormous greed
• No ethics
• No loyalties except perhaps to his immediate family
• Access to government documents with the highest level of security
• Via the government security apparatus, probably access to enormous amounts of corporate and personal data
• Devoted followers within the government

If someone breaks the rules for him and gets caught, is he able to grant pardons only after they've gone through the entire process of being charged and convicted?  Or are there short cuts?
