Would I love to see him put in handcuffs on live TV? Yes.
Do I think it will ever happen? No. Literally everything has been "This is the one" and it never is.
I'm optimistic that the DOJ will do...anything, I guess. But im realistic at this point that he will never face any actual consequences over what he's done.
That's along the lines of what people said in response to me claiming since about two years ago that he'd be charged with anything at all before the next general election and yet here we are. You're not being realistic, you're being pessimistic. The shithead fucked with the system, they're going to make sure he can't hold a public office again and even republicans that are upholding their public facade of support are chomping at the bit behind closed doors for his conviction.
Teflon Don may not suffer all of the consequences. He is suffering some. Much more importantly, is that enough of the enablers, supporters and followers are suffering their own consequences. He could not, and did not, do anything alone. The DoJ Trump may never get Trump. However, the process is grinding a whole lot of the enablers down.
