This crook had better hope to be dead by the time his term ends. Imagine a Dem administration and a DOJ going after the former POTUS and his crime family, getting back hundreds of millions in fines and disgorgement of profits. No way a SCOTUS will stand by with a 'get out of jail free' card for such brazen criminality, which clearly was NOT part of the president's normal duties while in office. Time will prove that the criminal acts are not shielded...
