Or it's possible that when VOldemort fell, a 20-something Lucius
Malfoy was astute enough to make a grab for leadership of the
suddenly leader-less group.  He would have let the older
Friends-of-Tom go off to Azkaban but worked hard to get his own
friends and peers off the hook by pleading imperio, etc.  FoT's would
have sneered at the idea of trying to get off the hook; they would
have been proud of being DE's.

So that when the dust settled, the only DE's out of jail were Lucius'
friends - and grateful to Lucius.  Another reason why Voldemort
referred to him as "my slippery friend".
