One of those "no duh" news stories from the end of the year pile.
I'm not sure whether to be pleased to see it reported or sad that it needs to be.
I predict, though, that while many of them may find their opportunities blighted for the next few years, then provided they keep their heads down and don't do anything too disastrously stupid, they'll soon enough find themselves more or less rehabilitated, at least in the social, professional and business circles in which they move.
Some will doubtless have ruined what might otherwise have been a brilliant career, but I think most of them will recover.
This I base on what I saw when Communism collapsed in the USSR and the former People's Republics in Europe. Those were far less popular and more criminal and corrupt regimes even than Trump's for the most part, but the apparatchiks and nomenclatura or whatever you want to call them -- people with
блат -- mostly managed to get on with their lives and careers, or start successful new ones, after only a few rather rocky years.
