That's a question lawyers thinking about joining Trump's attack on the rule of law should be asking.
Elite lawyers sell out the rule of law
Sullivan & Cromwell enlist in Trump's assault on the justice system.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.
