    I'm not so sure about that. I don't think this attack is any more threatening to the political establishment than some of Anonymous's previous targets (and there are plenty in the establishment who would welcome it). Also, the main thrust of their attack is going to be trying to dredge up dirt from his past and parade it around the internet, something which will most likely be perfectly legal. The only other thing they've mentioned is taking down his website (likely through a DDoS attack). This is something hackers have done for a long time, even to U.S. government websites(!), with little legal ramification, since it's not much more than a temporary annoyance to someone like Trump or the U.S. gov't.
