FTA, a decision is expected at the end of June (end of their term for the year, I think).
That means if they reject the claim of immunity, trials can restart after that. And with delays, that lines up a wonderful October Surprise ™, of course. I hate this system so much.
At least he’s not immune from any of the state crimes… /s
That’s only if everything goes to plan. If it does not, it will be close to or after the election that we get any of these cases back and then we’d really be screwed. Basically if he’s succeeded in delaying the cases this far out already, what makes you think he can’t delay another month somehow? This year is about to be really really ugly.
He’s already delayed it enough. Ruling in July. Three months of pretrial, trial begins October. Two months of trial, ends in December. That leaves less time before inauguration than the minimum time that must pass between conviction and sentencing.
By law, Trump cannot be sentenced before inauguration day.

October surprise? Those dastardly globalists did it again!

There are still three months of pretrial.
If SCOTUS rules in late June, the trial cannot be finished before inauguration.
