I am not sure some of the Trump goons like Miller

have fully thought that through. Right now, they are hated by 2/3 of the population. They live on military bases to get protection.
What do they think will happen in their future after Trump dies/resign/finish his term ?

Who is going to employ them again? Will they have to hire private security for the rest of their lives? Are they going to be shamed into oblivion, unable to be part of society anymore ?

I get why older and richer ones don't care since they are already established and have the means to do whatever they want. However, younger staffers and bootlickers have a life ahead of them to plan for.

However, is not the Hague powerless in this case? We are not signatories, so the ICJ does not have juridiction on US citizens, or does it?

However, the US doesn't recognize its jurisdiction and would protect its citizens - unless they were handed over to the ICC by the US government. It's a long shot but hypothetically possible.
