You are operating under the assumption Trump isn’t convicted.
No, I’m not. Where does that come from?
The question of whether he can even be indicted with these charges at all is a threshold issue that would kill the charges if SCOTUS ruled in Trump’s favor.
Going into an election with one candidate facing charges that may not even be legal and are potentially (as the other side will argue) disqualifying for office is just an unnecessary shite-show.

By saying it benefits everyone but Trump. The date of the trial was specifically selected to inflict maximum damage to the GOP. Not just Trump. If that trial stays on track and Trump is convicted, it will rip the soul out of the GOP.

His chases of the SCOTUS getting him out of this are slim. Even if they know it’s kangaroo court, the conservative judges are not activists like their counterparts. All they can do is interpret the law.

But it’s a good shitshow for the Dems who intend to slide in a replacement nominee. All the attention will be on Trump, not whatever authoritarian they’ve nominated.
