I’m sure President Trump will pardon him.

I feel people have this negative perception that indicted equals guilty. All it means is that he now has to enter defense. Verdict is where a person is guilty or not.

There are many cases where innocent people are indicted but later found innocent by the courts. And I'm not talking about Netanyahu in this case.

Yeah, that happens, but it also suggests the politician is a little bit on the side of corruption. Acquittal does not mean innocent either. For instance, Bob Menendez, US senator from NJ, was acquitted, but his actions were clearly shady. Even if what the person did was technically legal, when speaking of ethics, it's not simply about legality. But Netanyahu is clearly a corrupt politician.
