Additionally, I've heard this is likely to disrupt the timing of the cases he actually has a chance to be convicted of in court, This one will come first and it will take a year or more to conduct and the legal analysts I've heard (Abrams, Smerconish etc) don't think it will fly,

I actually heard the opposite . So you're saying a ex president is above the law.

How will the indictment affect the other ongoing Trump-focused investigations?


The short answer is: Not much. There’s no reason to think the indictment in Manhattan will influence the trajectory of several other probes that present an acute risk of more criminal charges for Trump. A grand jury in Fulton County, Ga., is examining his bid to overturn the election results in that state, and at the federal level, special counsel Jack Smith is leading twin probes into Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and his retention of government documents after his presidency.
Formally, a federal criminal case against Trump — if it were filed — would allow federal prosecutors to take precedence over any local case or cases.

Concurrent criminal proceedings against Trump would inevitably cause some logistical problems, but typically the feds and local prosecutors try to work out any conflicts.
