Delay. Run out the clock. Have things turn excruciatingly slow. Wait for a protector to stop or gum up the process. All familiar tactics. Americans have no patience for the long game and loose interest.

And who cares if it's political? Everything's "political" these days. If Trump broke the law, prosecute him.

So, that would delay the investigations. You’d think they would remember that.

Just because one analyst suggests it could be political, saying that "CNN" is arguing it is inaccurate and deceptive.

I've been monitoring CNN and most of the analysts are not being kind to Trump.

I did see the CNN story that said this was about "misleading appraisals" of Trump properties. "Misleading appraisals", to me, does not capture the massive tax cheating and bank fraud and investor fraud that is the subject of the suit.
