For all the concerns he’ll use the new powers from the Bribery Wizard to murder/jail people, I think what he will mostly do is grift and blackmail himself into as many billions as he can get.

Presumptively, but this could be the scenario by which they find a way back. They’d okay it for Trump but not for Biden, for example. It’s all Calvinball now. They’ll like it if they like the outcome but if they don’t then it’s not okay.

"Receiving a pile of money" is private conduct. Can that be charged without introducing evidence that he ordered the Navy to withdraw? Does the foreign affairs power encompass the authority to discuss how much he wants as personal payment?
