The Pavlov effect over his actions taught him so far he can basically do whatever he wants without any repercussion.

Wrongdoing anything? Noone could call for his accountability.

You're investigating him? You'll be fired. And every successor of yours who does the same.

You're his friend or donor getting in trouble with law? No problem, it will be taken away.

So, yes, I'd think twice before saying any of his actions would do "nothing".
