The biggest threat to Trump if he does go to jail is he will lose airtime and will be up to his merry band of lickspittles to try to drum up interest, and interesting they are not.

He can spend the time (ghost) writing his book about how unfair the fake news media is toward him. He could literally title it "My Struggle" and his base still wouldn't get it.
