There's precedent; notably see Berlusconi. Who, even after being removed from power and convicted of tax fraud, _managed to get elected again_ (albeit as an MEP; Italy does tend to treat their MEP vote as a _bit_ of a joke). (Like Trump, Berlusconi was given special treatment; he was jailed for four years, but it was commuted to unpaid community service. Many countries indulge in this sort of special handling for their criminal politicians, and it's really a terribly bad idea; it only encourages more misbehaviour.)
