It may be more frightening after 45 leaves the presidency!

Consider this, can you imagine him and his family's dealings and shenanigans after he leaves office -- based on what they have learned, the many contacts/relationships established throughout the world, the secrets revealed and now can be used to their advantage? And, as far as we can tell, there are no limits on how that information is used. They are not accountable to anyone except the "rule of law'? And we know how that is meaningless.

Post presidency may be equally frightening.

would be for a court to impose a gag order on him with threat of imprisonment.

Out of the WH he just has money and a trashed reputation. If he's not in prison once his tax returns are made public.
