And the DOJ may invoke their rule about not doing anything that could interfere with an election. The goal for all trials will be delay, delay, delay. If Trump, or any Republican, wins in 2024 (or more likely wins through Republican vote manipulation for the Electoral College), all federal cases will be moot. Whether he is found guilty in Georgia remains to be seen, but that trial also could be delayed indefinitely using the excuse that Trump has too much to do with federal cases and campaigning to be tried in Georgia.
