Don't worry about it. Sure, if Trump does get elected these cases go away. But I can guarantee that he will be busy committing a bunch of brand new crimes for a whole bunch of brand new criminal cases against him.
Or on second thought, do worry about it, worry about it a lot.

And the state cases don't, and yes he thinks he can get away with it, and then we will see if the US survives as a democracy, It will be chaos, but as with the Civil war, the economics are against him.
If he doesn't win, will there be a coup? Will the MAGA folks go ballistic and break out their guns?
He won't be able to run for a third term to get any new indictments against him to go away.
Yes, but if he has his way, his second term will extend far beyond 2028...
If he even lives that long.

Case, singular?
My take on it:
The state-level proceedings can continue without issue.
I disagree with the argument that prosecuting a sitting president for federal crimes is legally impossible, but:
- having Trump as president again probably also means having an Attorney General who's friendly to Trump and could halt prosecutions against him.
- Trump would have the power to pardon himself for federal crimes.
A self-pardon would come with some complications, though:
- accepting a pardon is generally an admission of guilt, which would open Trump up to all sorts of civil suits from the people he wronged.
- if Congress determines that Trump violated the 14th Amendment (which I think is unlikely - Trump as president probably means a strong Republican result generally), Trump wouldn't be able to restore his eligibility for office with a self-pardon.
