Sources claim that these Biden administration authorities believe that administrative rules that forbid the trial or paying of a relaxing president would only be effective after January’s opening day.
Older law enforcement officials have long believed that Trump, the 45th president and presumed Republican nominee for president this year, may have had limited time to work with the two national indictments. Leaders are unable to illegally indict a sitting president in response to a long-standing Justice Department rule.  ,
Lawyers in the office do not consider the policy bars them from proceeding against a president-elect, but, according to the people familiar with the discussions, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to identify inside deliberations.  ,
Any court action involving a president-elect would press British politics further into unknown territory in the midst of a presidential election in which fugitive circumstances have played a key role. Finally, it would be up to the courts to determine when and how to hold sessions or a test involving a president-elect. ]Emphasis added]

Anthony Coley, a former Justice Department official for Attorney General Merrick Garland, believes the effort to continue going after Trump, even after he wins, is justified.
” The Justice Department is n’t governed by the election calendar. Its trial of Trump is based on the law, the details, and the Justice Manual — the district’s verse that puts out the post-Watergate standards that have prevented it from being weaponized”, Coley told the Washington Post.  ,” Until those standards change, or they’re ordered then, I’d hope this Justice Department to get full speed ahead. And they should be” . ,
Recent officials, who requested anonymity, echoed the view that if Trump were to win the election, the clock on the two national cases against him would remain until January 20, when he would believe business as the 47th leader.
According to sources with knowledge of the debate, leaders in the Biden , Justice Department were skeptical about the possibility of a national trial for Trump before the 2024 vote even before the Supreme Court’s resistance decision earlier this month. The case involving categorized documents was simply dismissed early on Monday. However, both the Georgia election interference case and the national election interference case are pending.

This is how eager the extreme left is to chastise Trump for running again in 2024 and winning in 2016 in 2016.
