I'll assess it as it comes.

If the special investigation does, in fact, PROVE without a doubt, Trump's involvement with Russian to Collude and Conspire to rig the 2016 election, take money to relax sanctions against Russia, Tax Evasion and Fraud, will you change your stance?
Rigging the election would require changing the vote tallies. I doubt that such a thing happened.
But yes, if there is evidence that Trump actually broke the law, I will be quite happy to admit this.
I would love to see a Republican president break the law and rub the left's nose in it while they squeal in helpless rage.

Actually that's exactly what it means.

No one has any standing to challenge it.

Although Trump is not "obligated" to do so, it will have repercussions to the extent that will probably change by law in the near future. So, if by 2020 and the law states he MUST release his tax filing, do you think he will in order to be re-elected? Or do you think he'll saunter off into obscurity to evade the issue?
I think he would challenge it in court.
I think if the courts allow leftist states to do that, Republicans will retaliate by creating requirements in swing states that Democrats will be uncomfortable complying with.
He will certainly run for reelection however.

If there is evidence that Trump did something wrong, I'll be happy to acknowledge that. I'm unsure if that counts as backtracking.

If it's
OK for Democratic presidents to break the law, then it's also
OK for Republican presidents to break the law.
