I'm discounting naysayers that he can not be reinstated because this kind of issue has taken place in other countries many times. They're all ignoring the fact the constitution is a contract. Thus this a contract between the states which the states must resolve together. What is written into constitution applies to none fraudulent terms of the contract.

I agree with most of what you said that reinstating Trump with a hostile congress would not be good.

Two points
1. Optics. Not signing in the legal president and no charges against the criminals sets up a precedence of acceptance of criminality when it has to do with our elections.

"So at best, Trump will get two years in his second term in which to be effective.
2. If trump only has six months left when this is resolved he must be reinstated for optics if nothing else. A term is 4 years which he wouldn't be president for the 4 years. He can run again in 2024.

Another way the election could be nullified for a re-election.

Yes, if we could get Trump re-elected for a third time in 2024, while re-instating him to finish the second term that he earned, that is the best outcome of all.

I just didn't want Trump getting re-instated to finish his second term and then be done. That would not be right. Trump deserves a full term so if he can run again in 2024 - I would be good with that.

No he couldn't. Trump was elected for the first time in 2016. If he is reinstated then it's recognition that he was elected in 2020. Per the 22nd Amendment no person can be elected to the office of the President more than twice
