When this regime is gone, prosecutions against Trump will undoubtedly be pursued on the grounds that corruption in the form of self-dealing and acts that violate the constitution cannot be considered "official acts" for which he has immunity. Some of these may, or may not, get far.

I think there are a host of people who we will be able to hold personally liable for acts that blatantly violate constitutional rights -- particularly in light of the fact that they continue to commit the actions after courts have deemed them illegal.
