and it's hard to see that happening - they're making sure US Marshalls show fealty to Trump, and much of the FBI too. Perhaps the courts would be able to take fines from the criminals' banks accounts instead, but I'd guess that's unlikely.

Trump knows his legacy is already shit (shit doesn't "tarnish" ) among thinking people, and MAGA won't give a fuck about how illegal he's shown to be.
