He can read a calendar as well as anyone and as a smart politician he knows all too well that Obama, Lynch, et al are happy to rabbit on and on into a microphone but they are L-A-Z-Y when it comes to any sort of actual effort no matter how many legal brownshirts are on the public payroll.
Moreover, any federal case takes ages in terms of hearings, discovery, evidence, arguments about exclusion etc. etc. It certainly takes more than the ~250 days Obama has left and, we pray, Lynch along with him.
Right...Anything against McCrory that happens, Trump will reverse when he takes office...
