As much as I don't want to agree, I partially do agree with your first statement and hope (regardless of how little faith I have in the justice system) that they are intentionally doing this so they can let the can of worms open if he loses and then take every single person they can down with him when they try to derail the results and attempt a 2nd coup.
It would be the icing on the cake, like you lost and you made a second attempt at it, there's no fucking back tracking and now we have even more people that came out of the woods to help you and we are going to take you all down.
They could put him in jail now, but corruption is rampant, but maybe (sliver of hope) there is some quiet digging of graves for these people to fall into.
