(128,458 posts)33. Remember there are MANY "cases" in play
This is probably one of the least impactful ones - the Stormy Daniels one - at least based on the build up of specific witness testimony covered by the media this week.
The bigger NY state case would be the fraud one that Tisha James has been working on -
New York to Trump: No more delay in civil fraud case

New Yorks attorney general urged a state judge to reject Donald Trumps bid to delay her civil fraud case against him, and said the former U.S. president might use his 2024 White House run as an excuse for further delay.
In a Wednesday night court filing, Attorney General Letitia James said her office had provided Trump and other defendants with an enormous quantity of material, including 1.7 million documents and interview transcripts for 56 witnesses.
She said that negates their plea for an extra six months to gather evidence to defend themselves adequately at trial, now scheduled for Oct. 2, and accused them of being slow to conduct their own witness depositions. The record defendants have and are compiling is more than sufficient to afford them due process and prevent the trial from becoming a game of surprise, James said.
When the calendar turns over into 2024, Donald J. Trump will be in the midst of a campaign for President, she added. Defendants have used his campaign as a reason for delay in both 2016 and 2020. There is no reason to believe 2024 will be any different. Lawyers for the defendants did not immediately respond on Thursday to requests for comment.

And there is also the E. Jean Carroll case.
Those are "state cases" and don't even touch on the GA state/county case nor any of the federal cases (classified document mishandling, obstructing justice, etc).
IOW, there is a fusillade of possibilities underway now.

This is a wise precaution because the celebrations could certainly get pretty rowdy.

Trump has committed SO many crimes, state and federal, there's just no way he doesn't get indicted.

Nixon wasn't undergoing a criminal investigation for indictment. But Agnew WAS.
