    Trump is not intending to win this. It’s purely performative, to give his voters a reason to believe that all of Trump’s troubles are politically motivated, and to keep his conversation with them on his terms.

    The election is only 3 months away. Either he wins the election, and he can appoint a AG who can make this all go away, or he loses, and is likely going to jail regardless of the outcome of this. So this “lawsuit” only has to live until the election is settled, through all the recounts, whining, and Capitol storming. It doesn’t need to reach a conclusion at all.
