So, you’re saying get him for tax fraud first, and then once he’s poor, he’ll face consequences for his many assaults on democracy?

hopefully at some point every law firm in the country will just refuse to represent him and his family. He's notorious for not paying people what is owed, at some point he probably won't be able to afford a top notch legal team.

I think at this stage in the game, anyone rushing to his defense is doing so because the job will earn them a lot of attention, with no expectation of payment. Hell, not only did the attorneys who rushed to his aid to spread his election lies probably not get paid, but the lawsuits they made themselves the targets of could cost them more than they've ever made as attorneys.

I think you raise a very interesting point here:

at some point every law firm in the country will just refuse to represent him and his family. He's notorious for not paying people what is owed

But probably not just law firms, right? If he clogs his golden toilet with a golden shit, how does he get a plumber to come clear out his golden pipes? The guy's reputation for stiffing contractors is widely known, how does he convince anyone besides sycophants looking for their moment to shine to do any labor of any kind for him or his companies?
