This seems like a pretty decent hedge on the outcome of the election to me. If it a strong case and they win, Barr can take credit if Trump stays in office or if Biden wins and cleans house.

If they lose the case and Trump is re-elected, Barr can lick his wounds and try again in a year or so with a stronger case.

If they lose the case and Biden cleans house, he can blame the Biden administration for dropping the ball.

This case is going nowhere before the election one way or another. This will take years to litigate.
