... find a judge that will rule in their favor.

The way this NON-attorney heard it is defense attorneys will make the case that there MIGHT be evidence that was held back that would / could change the views of judges or juries that hear these cases.

Held back for security reasons. For example, the videos would show the locations of security cameras by was they were recording or locations of "secret safe rooms" or secret emergency exits. All this would be valuable to any further invasions of the Capital. BUT it could also disclose evidence of helping their clients, like helping a police officer who was being beaten. Or sitting down to have a cigarette and relax even though five minutes before, was spreading feces on the walls.

In any case, it could hold up dozens, if not 100's of cases going to trial. Or, in fact STOP those for the Proud Boys already in court.

Any of these delays could help Trump avoid negative repercussions before the 2024 elections.

Finally, I have no doubt YOU could be entirely right with your summary of the situation. Thanks for that!
