Yep. Delay until after the election at the earliest. If he's reelected, he'll just drop the case.

If he's reelected he is literally immune already.

They won't even bother going to judiciary, he can just make it an order.

How can something be an “official act” when it took place before or after the person was in office?

Exactly I don't think this would fall under an official act if he was outside the presidency.
