He doesn’t care what happens in court because unless he is sentenced before he takes office, he doesn’t even have to figure out if he can pardon himself. And in that sense, more is not better. 3 (or 4) strong cases against him on Jan 20th doesn’t matter because he can just tell his AG to keep firing people until this goes away.
He doesn’t have to win in court, he has to to win the election.
Wow, I thought it was going to be some sort of slip-up, but no. They just straight up admit he obstructed the election. They’re not even coy about it.
He really does know the best people.
This is the textbook play. If you can’t obfuscate that it happened, you brazenly embrace it as though there is nothing wrong with it.
But that doesn’t work in court, only in the media.
It’s pretty obvious that he’s playing for either nullification or a political solution.
And, chances are good that he’ll get one.

He may only need to win the nomination. I could see his lawyers arguing that “you can’t disrupt an election by convicting one of the candidates”.
All the best people probably told him he has no case so he found some incompetent whackos who will argue whatever he wants them to.
