Which is why I'm fairly certain his lawyers are telling him not to worry.

We'll know soon whether this time will be different, or simply more of the status quo.

The fact he changed his mind doesn't eliminate the fact that he defied it.
If a burglar returns stolen goods does that absolve him of the crime?

But I expect, since he's Republican, they will give him a pass on being held responsible for criminal behavior.
