They may indict him just in the hope that it will damage him sufficiently that he will not win the primary. It will then be laughed out of court, but that's enough for them.
They're accusing him of federal crimes, so it would be before a federal court - which are appointed by presidents. So it won't matter that much if it's in DC or New York (won't be because the supposed crimes did not take place there).
I guess they could try to manipulate the system to get a 'reliable' judge. Maybe the one who is persecuting all the J6 people. But with this high-profile of a defendant, it will not be as easy to screw him over. It would surely backfire.

Not if they file in one of their states, like Washington or New York. They'll pick a judge that rubberstamps anything.

They'll pull a Maxwell: the judge mysteriously gets promoted right after the trial and everything damaging to the state gets sealed.
He will win the primary by double digits.
