The decades of skull fucking the base has led to them being completely detached from reality and primed for an authoritarian leader - which they now have. Any R with even the first bit of backbone isn't standing up to him, they are quitting their jobs, for the same reason - they know they can't stand up to him because their lunatic base will kill them in a primary.
These scumbags fear one thing more than anything this point - their primary voters. So, no, they are not going to stand up to him.
2) His leaving office does NOTHING to stem any potential legal issues, in fact, his best chance to thwart them is while he is in office - using his power as POTUS, the pardon, etc.
3) He isn't going to admit defeat by quitting.
