Man I hope. Otherwise, I'll have no faith left in this country.
he'll get out of it one way or another. i don't even know how they're letting this guy declare a run for presidency
There are only 3 requirements for being/ running for POTUS:
Natural born citizen 35 years old 14 year residency in the US
In theory he could be found guilty, still elected and serve from a federal jail cell.

Trump is arrested and Kutcher scores $2bn. Seems to me like he got played by his own son-in-law.
In a few decades we'll have Kutcher run for office as a self made billionaire.

The vast majority of federal cases end with a plea deal. Any idea if that could include forfeiting any right to run for public office? Would be great for peace of mind if so
Well he already entered his pleas today, "Not Guilty", and demanded (as is his right), a jury trial. The chances for a deal with the DOJ at this point are zilch, unless they can file amended charges based on a deal to enter guilty plea to some charges?
That would look way too much like partisan coercion and would absolutely blow up in Biden and the Democrats' faces. They need to have a real iron-clad case if they're going to make this work, which means they'll need to prove it in court.
