If that's the scenario, criminal liability - particularly given that the President can pardon criminal (but not civil) contempt and was already immune from prosecution while in office - was never going to be a restriant.

Law is the process we've all agreed to follow before somebody with a gun takes you or your stuff. If the people with guns stop answering to it, it stops having force of law.
