9. Thinking it's likely timed to make sure distractions are in place for anybody following other news over the weekends

It may distract from any news dump El Lardo might have problems with
and...
it provides maximum stress to those being indicted. They have to stew about it all weekend, maybe panic a bit, until they can hire attorneys come Monday. Part of the fun for Trump is knowing people are suffering. He is a sadistic sociopath.

It's like the too oft practice of some companies to fire or lay off people on Friday. It's cruel but also damned foolish. A fired or laid off employee given all weekend to rage can literally end in unplanned pay back to the cruel employer. Most thinking employers would wait til Monday morning, so the let go employee(s) can immediately start job search instead of drinking and plotting revenge over a weekend.
