Considering that his playbook when it comes to legal cases against him consists of 'delay everything until either he, or the plaintiff drops dead from a heart attack', this doesn't seem ironic. It's just how he operates. While that is an excellent approach to take when some nobody is suing you in a civil court, criminal prosecutors often have a... Longer, more patient view on things.
