But a deeper look shows that by making him a martyr, he will have a real good chance of getting the nomination for the GOP. So it's unclear at this point if getting him to be the challenger is the goal, or if trying to remove him is. But the one thing they cannot do, is let him win. Too many lies have been told and there is too much to protect.

You have not gone deep enough, Trump will not be President because he has made the voting majority, along with the entrenched establishment absolutely despise him.
The claims/lies/truths made against Trump are a function of his actions and the individual opinions formed from said actions.

All of this is absolutely helping him. For the types of crimes they’re charging him with, I’d be really surprised if they can finalize any of the court proceedings by the election. Those kinds of trials take time, and even some of the ones starting ahead of time will only have some of the findings come out, but unlikely to reach a verdict.
Not only are they getting the opposite results they going after him, they’re ignoring the best way, presenting a better option.
Inside the GOP, there is almost no competition right now. DeSantis could have been incredibly viable, but he leaned into the culture wars so much that’s the only bit of the policy anyone seems to hear about.
As for the left, Biden is an enigma in that he doesn’t really have supporters. I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve never actually met someone who is passionate about Biden, even from staunch democrats. He merely ran on “not trump”, but that’s not something you’d want to bank on for a second time.
The more alarming thing to me than the most likely politicized DOJ is the fact we can’t produce good candidates anymore (a long growing trend). The easiest way to keep someone out is to have better options. And in my lifetime I have seen candidates pick up steam who seem to run on compelling platforms. I couldn’t even tell you what most of the platforms are, because candidates rarely talk about policy, and why should they when their admin always does the exact opposite. They must know we know and decide to cut the BS. So now it’s just “I’m not that guy”.
