If he is convicted he will be pardoned a bad look to have an ex president in jail and yes he keeps his detail he gets that for life.
It's also a "bad look" to indict a former president on almost 100 criminal charges and liable him to over 700 years in prison!
Notice that there's been no hesitation to do all of this, which is unprecedented, to a president who'd already been impeached twice by the same political party and false charges used against him for six or more years.
No, it would be much too dangerous to the career of any officeholder to issue a pardon under these circumstances.
