Their goal isn't to actually enforce antitrust though, it's to appear strong for the election. So anything after November is completely useless to them. Your comment implies that once Democrats take over, there will be no more appetite for an antitrust case, which is not true.

It’s going to take a year or two for any decision. MSFT antitrust started in 98 and was done till 2001.

At least. The MSFT case ended early because the newly elected administration backed out.

Google v Oracle is 10 years old.
