Nothing can be done to hold him responsible, which is exactly why he is acting this way. Even the most overt corruption is either immune from prosecution or impossible to prosecute before he dies.

There won't be justice in the form of prosecuting corruption. There could theoretically be convictions of people who aren't the president but pardons will fix that.

There may be some justice inasmuch as unconstitutional exective orders may be rolled back.
