I believe what we're discovering is that once a major party picks you, you really can't be tried for any crime. You could be charged. If you lost the election you could be tried. But I'm not seeing how the state could effectively conduct a criminal court case of a major candidate. This leads me to believe that Congress really has to decide. Beats me whether they should decide before or after the person is sworn in. (Of course this is just speculating about a generic case.)
