While I agree with you, I still don't understand the tactic. Even if he wins those same charges are still going to be waiting in 2025. The cases might even be more solid and there might be additional charges because lord knows he's keep up the tomfoolery in his second term. The main difference is that he'll be 78 instead of 74 so four years close to death which may be a legitimate consideration for him since it would mean potentially skipping jail time.
There’s a statue on the chargers he’ll likely be brought upon. For instance, he can still be formally charged for the Cohen case. But that expires in 2021 I think.
