much is a success: by the time this gets sorted out, the election will be over. If Trump wins it will be either delayed until the end of his presidency ( by which time, with his habits and his health, he’ll be dead or incompetent) or it will be over forever ( by way of a self-pardon approved after litigation by the Supreme Court.)

But if Biden wins the election, the DOJ will either figure out how to try the case under Cannon’s rules (unlikely they will bother) or they will take her up and win, and then try him on the merits (much more likely, but time-consuming).
