I do know that if he were indicted before the election that would be terrible to his reelection strategy. Not with his rabid base obviously but with those who are on the edge (of which I would guess is about 10-20% of his support)

But also knowing Trump...he knows ALL the delay tactics possibly known to man. He's built his entire business empire on delaying lawsuits so if there is a way he will find it.
