Unless that was the deal made, “don’t run for office ever again and we won’t prosecute.“ Remember it was said everyone won’t be prosecuted. This could have been a plea deal.
It's a good point. This seat is in Rhode Island. Some of these districts are so blue that republicans don't usually bother running candidates. That needs to change this time around, but the national party is what it is. Trump needs to weigh in on all of these districts.
Just because they are not running again doesn't mean they will escape justice!

Do we have a running average of resignations between elections and midterms to compare this number to?

It has also historically been an indicator of a lack of enthusiasm for their party's election prospects.
