#politics Any hope that Trump’s legal woes will affect the presidential election is a pipe dream. The only slam-dunk prosecution case - the classified documents case - will likely not even get started before the election, thanks to Judge Cannon. Jack Smith’s case - the insurrection one - has a small chance to get underway, but motion delays will doom that one as well. Ditto for the Georgia prosecution. But even if Trump is convicted of any, the appeal process will carry far into 2025. Too late.
