What makes you think that? What do you think "cashing in" entails, and what do you think prevents the Trump family from doing it now?
Also, how would he and his family stay out of jail if they can no longer control the judiciary and FBI?
they are already cashing in. look at jr's book deal. look at ivanka's trademarks in china. look at funneling money into their properties. there's myriad graft in that family.
Cashing in entails:
-Large book deal, with title "Winning: How I Made America Great Again Despite All The Dummy Losers In Washington"
-Some sort of talk show or network
-But mostly, going back to licensing the use of his name all over the place
As for staying out of jail, he might not, but I suspect a combination of fuzzily enforced regulations and big money lawyers will keep him out.
I don't think you appreciate the magnitude of what is happening in the US at the moment.
The federal government is being stripped for parts, as we speak. Entire agencies have been gutted. Industrial conglomerates can literally regulate their own industries - for a price. Foreign leaders can influence foreign policy - for a price. Federally endicted criminals can get out of jail as if nothing had happened - for a price.
The level of grift and corruption is unlike anything the US has ever known. If Trump remains in power - which he is absolutely planning to do at all cost - it will only get worse. The end game for him is to create a new dynasty of oligarchs - at the same level of the Saudi royal family or Putin. Compared to that, the book deals and talk shows are nothing - crumbs. He wants to join the club. And that requires staying in power so that he can 1) continue stealing billions from the US public, and 2) continue corrupting the federal government to stay out of jail.
