GOP bracing for Trump indictment soon after Election Day
Source: The Hill
Republican aides and strategists privately expect Attorney General Merrick Garland to pursue an indictment of former President Trump within 60 to 90 days after Election Day, predicting the window for prosecuting Trump will close once the 2024 presidential campaign gains momentum.
Republican aides on Capitol Hill and veteran party strategists emphasize they dont have any inside information on what Garland might do, but they say the attorney general is under heavy pressure from Democrats to act and the deadline for pursuing an indictment is fast approaching.
GOP aides also warn that an indictment of Trump by the Biden administration would further polarize the nation and likely strengthen Trumps support from the Republican Partys base as the former president and his allies would frame the Department of Justices prosecution as a political witch hunt.
A couple of weeks after the election, I assume that Garland will indict Trump, said one veteran Republican aide, expressing a sentiment shared by several other GOP aides and strategists.

This cheers me up for two reasons: Garland doesn't leak, and Republicans know Trump is guilty.
