At this point he’d just ignore them if they tried to constrain him.

Well, the former guy is far too much of a blunt instrument for *that* level of subtlety. He wouldn’t threaten prosecution. He’d threaten explicit state violence.

Why wait for that? They've given the go ahead. DOJ should indict them tomorrow.
