“Just think, some mayor charged with massive embezzlement and he says, ‘Well, you know, it’s a year and a half to the election, let’s put that on hold while I run for re-election.’ It’s silly,” Barr added.

If that was the only indictment in play, this situation would look much different in terms of election manipulation. — Ed]
