Once he loses....

Is it open season for all his remaining criminal trials? I imagine jail is on the horizon once he loses the election.

If the cases were going forward before the election, there's no reason for them not to go forward after.

In fact, if we assume the silly "don't prosecute during an election year" claim has some validity, there would be more reason to pursue them afterwards as that would no longer be a factor. Personally, I always found it ridiculous.

Much of the evidence has to be examined in light of the SCOTUS decree. That could take years.
