I am convinced this was the goal all along - they probably knew they had no shot at a conviction (unless a windfall by the NY jury pool)

But the ace in the hole was a mistrial, that could not be addressed until after the election - giving the media the rest of the election cycle to gaslight the electorate.

same with appeals for a guilty verdict - which would would be icing on the cake for them.
