It’s been a tumultuous few weeks in the legal saga around Donald Trump, and suddenly the future has come into sharper focus. After months of high-stakes uncertainty, now we know for sure that Trump will not face trial on the biggest cases against him — relating to 2020 election subversion, January 6, and classified documents at Mar-a-Lago — before the 2024 election. He might never be convicted on anything beyond the Manhattan hush-money case, and that one stands on increasingly rickety legal footing. And the chances that Trump ever winds up behind bars are vanishingly slim.
There’s no use spinning fairy tales: All four Trump cases are circling the drain. Here’s how dire it’s gotten for anti-Trump legal crusaders. They’ve gone from “Don’t worry, he’ll be tried and convicted on the big cases before the election!” to “Don’t worry, the hush-money appeal will take long enough that a reversal won’t happen until after the election!”
Before we get to the legal fallout, Trump’s chances to snuff out all four cases at once, by winning the 2024 election, have decidedly risen over the past few weeks. It’s a sad state of affairs that we accept the inevitability that, if Trump wins, all his indictments are cooked — but it’s also true. He would almost certainly have his Justice Department dismiss the two federal indictments, and the state cases would be, at best, on hold until he left office in 2029. The chances of a Trump 2024 win have long been roughly 50-50. But now, in the wake of President Joe Biden’s haggard debate performance, the polls tell us that it’s more likely than that.

He should be on trial for illegally having classified documents, but Robert Hur said he was too feeble to stand trial so he wasn’t charged.
It’s like everyone in the conservative media has forgotten about it.
OK, if 5 weeks ago means it "just" happened. Sounds clickbaity to me. Maybe for leftists it had not sunk in until now.
Don't forget, for leftists, history began yesterday.
I think I would prefer something a little more permanent.
Makes sense.... from their point of view.
Biden and his puppet masters are now in so much trouble, they don’t have the time or $$$ for more Lawfare.
Hell wants it’s payment
While the sentiment is well understood and shared to large extent, it would be remiss of me were I to not caution you on your wording. Patience, for nature will likely bring about the desired outcome quickly.
The Republicans in the Senate will require any AG nominee to promise not to dismiss those cases.
Trump has to resist with all his might, his tendency for being a “nice guy.”
As he did ......... letting Hillary off the hook.
All of these people that waged lawfare against him committed crimes and must pay the price.
