The headline is somewhat tautologically true in the technical sense that, with Ecuador, the UK, and the US each having an effective veto over legal action against him, and all three being democratic countries with the rule of law largely intact, whatever will come of this will tend to be the just consequences of his actions that got too close and/or crossed the line of legality.
