I think Trump is hyper-paranoid right now. Yet he is equally capable of commiting crimes now, than in his "normal" state. I think that this obviously involves his encouraging others to commit crimes with/for him. As what can correctly be called a "mob boss," being arrested, even incarcerated, does not stop that ability. It reduces it, of course, and in time can result to new leadership. But Roy Cohn taught Trump how to operate as a mob boss.
The DOJ, if they do prosecute him, will go with the crimes that are most likely to get convictions. It's a shame that he has gotten away with so much over the years. I think that any of the charges against him would put an end to him. But not to the fake image his cult worships.
