'Justice' is subjective. For a maniacal narcissist like trump, nothing is worse than public humiliation, and failure before the masses. Being forced to give depositions to those who will lay bare all of his secrets, will do him in. Sure... a perp walk would put him over the edge, and a mug shot without a comb over would literally kill him.
If he has a massive coronary before a verdict is rendered, justice will have been done.
As long as the right could claim it is an unsettled question, they will run with the thinnest shred of doubt and expound on that. Let there be a sentence. Then from that point there is nothing he could do to spin his way out of that. Anything less leaves them something to work with.
Even if he is sentenced, you know some of them will still claim witch hunt, but at that point it will be impossible for good people to excuse him. And there are still good people who are able to use doubt to look the other way currently. A sentence in a court of law will do it for those tentative ones.
It's got to be tough for them. They are not dumb. They see that with Trump off the table they don't have much to rebuild the party with. That's why they stick with him. No other viable choices. They'd have to take their chances with an untested maybe.
