It should not deter legal actions, but it does indicate that prudence is needed regarding when and how something or someone is pursued.
An analogy from fiction. If you are familiar with the Harry Potter series, the last book (last two films), The Deathly Hallows, offers an analogy. Voldrmort is powerful and has many powerful followers. To defeat him, they have to undercut his strengths, the things that he created to use for his own immortality, his own super strength to persist. They are fictitious items in the book/films, called horcruxes. They must find and destroy the horcruxes in order to weaken Voldemort enough to finally destroy him and disperse what remains of his followers.
In today's real world, the analogous strategy would be to weaken Trump's army and image first, then go directly for Trump.
