Nah, not Eric. I'm not even sure about Jr. Ivanka wouldn't need a pardon, he'd just have the prosecutor executed before it ever went to trial. Once someone reminded him who Tiffany and Baron are, he'd let them twist in the wind. But they seem the least likely (so far) to jump on the family grift train.
“Documents obtained by ProPublica show stark differences in how Donald Trump’s businesses reported some expenses, profits and occupancy figures for two Manhattan buildings, giving a lender different figures than they provided to New York City tax authorities. The discrepancies made the buildings appear more profitable to the lender — and less profitable to the officials who set the buildings’ property tax.
For instance, Trump told the lender that he took in twice as much rent from one building as he reported to tax authorities during the same year, 2017. He also gave conflicting occupancy figures for one of his signature skyscrapers, located at 40 Wall Street.”
“But for years, one Trump loan has been particularly mystifying: a debt of more than $50 million that Trump claims he owes to one of his own companies.

Did no one advise him that it just wouldn’t be prudent?
..."If you are not guilty of a crime, what do you need immunity for?" Trump said at a campaign rally in Florida in September...
..."The mob takes the Fifth Amendment," Trump said at a campaign event in Iowa later that month. "If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?"...
Does make one wonder.
If there’s nothing to hide, why refuse to respond to the subpoena in the first place?
Given the quote above, wouldn’t the Trump family want to set the better example?

So, you're saying its OK to throw away your Constitutional rights if you have nothing to hide? Got it. You'd feel right at home in the Soviet Union. Don't let the door hit you on the butt on your way out.
