Agree with this analysis - and were it not election year the argument that it could affect the vote for President would not enter the equation for the DOJ

On the POLITICAL front, I feel it HELPS the Dems & NOT the orange menace ... KH & TW don't have to answer questions on block buster evidence emerging against their opponent & can make it about THEIR policies & track records, and he doesn't get to go whingeing & whining and screeching about "UNFAIR!!! DOJ trying to stop me being President!" etc. etc. which could give some pause who might stay home or switch without this distraction - better to get it right than rush & let him off the hook, politically & legally. Besides, I still hope the threat to decamp to Venezuela is real, and he can be tried in absentia without constantly seeing his face & hearing his whiny voice every day!

Candidates NEVER have to answer questions about trials against their opponents The vice president even has a duty to refrain from such.

We're not going to get justice on Trump crimes anyway, at least not as long as the Trump stooges control the Supreme Court.

This analysis looks at the legal side only, but legal trials are newsworthy only if they have a p political aspect. We need convictions of Trump because media already is pushing truth out in favor of Trump lies.

This news will allow to call Democrats liars with impunity when they warn of the coming insurrection as they've done many times lately, especially at this week's convention.
