"There’s no one who can reasonably, in the court of public opinion, and in the court of law, do legal justice upon Trump."
In a court of law, I'm fairly certain that a jury of his fellow citizens hearing criminal charges can mete out the appropriate justice for the things of which Trump is accused.
I can't think of a better example to drive home the point that while we may fail at it at times, we - as a society - hold that our laws apply to EVERYONE. I can't see another American citizen getting away without legal consequences (even if that consequence ends at a trial and acquittal) had any of the rest of us been credibly accused of what Trump has done.
On a related note, do you believe that Trump's enablers and collaborators on January 6th should also be let free with a shrug and extracted promise to not join an insurrection again? Ignoring Trump, if there aren't consequences for the likes of Flynn, Powell, Eastman, and especially Guiliani, what's the message we're sending other than to get smarter people to carry out your coup next time?
This is a great opportunity to add some new Cautionary Tales to our national mythos.
