"He's stalling until after the November 7 election."
He's stalling because he has NO CASE. This travesty will never come to trial.

He never did, and he could have dropped it at any time. He kept it going to win the primary, then more facts came out but he kept it going to pass the independent candidate filing date (June 30), and now he's keeping it going until after the election. He's hoping for a graceful way out, to say that, upon further consideration of the facts (like talking to the accuser), he now realizes that there is not enough evidence to prosecute.
It's all been about scaring contenders away and maintaining his viability at the polls.
