Former President Donald Trump has a massive personal stake in the upcoming election.

Winning is Trump 's "get out of jail free card," says one former prosecutor.

If he loses the election, Trump faces years of court proceedings, hundreds of millions in civil penalties, and the possibility of jail time.

Long-standing DOJ policy bars prosecution of a sitting president.

If Trump wins the election, the case will inevitably go away if he wins, experts say.

Trump could attempt to continue his prosecution in the two months between the election and inauguration.

The case faces a long road before reaching a trial if Trump loses.
