How will the Trump & campaign staff/Russian connection intrigue end? With Trump et al being vindicated or indicted? Because?

I figure that it's starting to get a little too hot for Trump so he will be stepping down soon. But before he does he will make a deal with Pence to pardon him. What I'm hoping happens after that is Pence doesn't pardon Trump and throws him to the wolfs. A lot of his staff will be going down to but before they do they will be throwing each other under the bus to try to save their skin. As far as the because goes it might boil down to karma and if they do go down it's because they deserve it. Cheers!
