    He doesn’t care what happens in court because unless he is sentenced before he takes office, he doesn’t even have to figure out if he can pardon himself. And in that sense, more is not better. 3 (or 4) strong cases against him on Jan 20th doesn’t matter because he can just tell his AG to keep firing people until this goes away.

    He doesn’t have to win in court, he has to to win the election.

      He may only need to win the nomination. I could see his lawyers arguing that “you can’t disrupt an election by convicting one of the candidates”.
