Trump was pressured to cave. The opposition has been fast and furious.

12. That won't matter either

The US isn’t a party to the Rome statute. And the Supreme Court basically said he’s immune from “official” actions as president. No president — republicans or democrat will ever extradite him. That’s not a precedent they want set. That’s why the US is not party to most international criminal court conventions.

The republicans will never hold him accountable. That’s always been obvious. We already had our chance. Garland blew it.

Trump keeps pushing the envelope because he alwyad gets away with it. I’m sorry I’m too cynical to believe he will ever be held accountable for anything. We’ll see subpoena after subpoena, hearing after hearing. Maybe we’ll see a lower level official spend a few months in a Maxwell level minimum security prison for a few months. But Trump? He’ll won’t spend a day behind bars.

Oh, and 2028 isn’t a guaranteed win either. The electoral college gets even more challenging as the mid Atlantic, California, and the “blue wall” loses seats.
