One has to look back to the Caspar Weinberger indictment over Iran-Contra that was issues four days before the 1992 Presidential election, despite the Iran-Contra hearings having happened in 1987.
On December 11, 1992, a federal judge threw out the indictment for being beyond the statute of limitations. Indicting past the statute of limitations is clearly prosecutorial misconduct, but the intended political damage was already done when Bill Clinton defeated George H. W. Bush for President.
The Democrats are repeating that playbook today. They will try to indict President Trump before the mid-term elections, and then hope that the indictment will move independent and undecided Republicans to vote for the Democrats to keep the House and the Senate.
The indictments will likely be thrown out in January after the mid-term elections, but Democrats will hope that the political fallout will be in their favor, because it's all they have left to play.

And....it will backfire on them. They always overreach, they never get it, and the only thing they have is their lies and willingness to cheat.
