Special Counsel Jack Smith reversed course in his quest to seek expedited hearings in his Washington, DC, case against former President Donald Trump.
Smith sought the hearings to determine which actions that Trump allegedly took he could charge in his election interference case against the president.The Supreme Court’s July 1 decision that presidents enjoy partial immunity for actions taken in office in an official capacity spurred Smith to alter his approach. Before Smith relented in his latest push to expedite the increasingly shaky case, Judge Tanya Chutkan had planned to hold hearings in the fall to determine which of Trump’s acts were official acts subject to prosecution.

Didn't they determine JS is not a special prosecutor as his appointment didn't follow the law?
He has no authority. Any case or motions he filed need to be killed immediately as he is a nobody. My dog has as much right to prosecute someone as he does.

He's punting. If they manage to cheat Harris into office, this case will suddenly revive, never mind that it's unconstitutional. That little detail never bothers Democrats when they have the power to ignore it. Even if Trump doesn't make it into the Presidency, they will still want to destroy him.

That's not going to get him out of the crosshairs. He is one evil jackal that gives lawyers a bad name.

Smith is an unconstitutional persecutor. Do we get our money back? Or did Smith get the usual sweetheart deal for Democrats using our money to commit political crimes against the citizens?

Smith has forgotten who is in charge. Jack is an arrogant donkey rump.

Hmmm. The ONLY reason they would do this is if they think they have a winning hand now with Harris. And any further lawfare against Trump might swing things back. Very cunning.

#1, Judge Cannon in the Florida documents case determined that Jack Smith was not legally appointed and therefore could not prosecute anything. Judge (and it pains me to call him one) Chutkan rejected that challenge to Smith in DC. The split would, should and probably will end up in the Supreme Court, where Chutkan will likely lose. That’s why Smith is pulling back: The chances are that if he and Chutkan expedited, the Supreme Court would step in and slap down Chutkan before the election.

Only one trial left. The Democrats have put all their eggs in the Stormy Daniels basket. Get it in front of the Supreme Court and hopefully they will pull the plug on that one too!

This is all good news, and good comments.... BUT...
That crooked Noo Yawk judge Meacham, the one with the daughter that has raised Million$ for the 'Rats, already has Trump wrongly convicted, and may well put Trump in Prison here in late September.
Trump will win on appeal to the US Supreme Court, but he has to go through the crooked Noo Yawk appeals courts (I think two of 'em, one after the other) first, and by the time that all plays out in it's molasses-in January pace, Heels-Up Harris may well be running for RE-election.
I hope not, but the possibility for some real EVIL still exists.
