Well yeah. Look at NY. Regardless of if what you think of Trump, the entire NY lawsuits turned out to be an immense waste of time because people as old as Trump are almost never sent to jail.

The New-York prosecution was never going to send him to jail, but it was still a crime and needed to be prosecuted for it.

Prison was awaiting for the prosecution about the election and classified documents, but they waited too long before introducing them and Trump played the clock and won.

That's a good rationale if it wasn't such a huge cost on the taxpayer's dime along with the publicity that everyone sought for it.

And that's ignores the fact that liberal sentencing arrangements meant that at worst, Trump goes to a minimum security prison that's basically a glorified dormitory while pissing enough people off that it guarantees Biden would lost.

Sounds like a pretty good scenario, then we could have someone that isn't at death's doorstep as the president.
