HUGE WIN: Jack Smith’s Case DELAYED Until After Election Day!

This is a breaking news alert!

Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan has delayed the trial in the Jack Smith election interference case until after the 2024 presidential election.

And after that it’s anyone’s guess as to whether the case is ultimately tried or not.

Here are more breaking details from Fox News:

Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan will not hold the trial for former President Donald Trump on charges stemming from special counsel Jack Smith’s Jan. 6 investigation until after the 2024 presidential election.

Chutkan held a status hearing Thursday morning in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, in which lawyers for former President Trump pleaded not guilty on his behalf related to charges from Smith’s new indictment after the Supreme Court ruled a president is immune from prosecution for official acts in office.

In an order Thursday afternoon, Chutkan set deadlines for replies and paperwork from federal prosecutors and Trump’s legal team for Nov. 7th–after Election Day.

Trump did not appear in court Thursday. His lawyers pleaded not guilty on his behalf. Smith was in court Thursday morning.

The case pertains to Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Last week, the former president was indicted and issued revised criminal charges by Smith, who alleges Trump pressured former Vice President Mike Pence to reject legitimate electoral votes, in addition to mounting fake electors in key states that went to President Biden and to attest to Trump’s electoral victory.

The new indictment keeps the prior criminal charges but narrows and reframes the allegations against the Republican presidential nominee after a Supreme Court ruling that conferred broad immunity on former presidents.

Specifically, the indictment has been changed to remove allegations involving Department of Justice officials and other government officials. It clarifies Trump’s role as a candidate and makes clear the allegations regarding his conversations with then-Vice President Mike Pence in his ceremonial role as president of the Senate.

The new indictment removes a section of the previous indictment that had accused Trump of trying to use the Justice Department to undo his 2020 loss. The Supreme Court recently ruled in a 6-3 decision that Trump was immune from prosecution for official White House acts.

Was Jack Smith (sounds like a made up name) illegally appointed in the first place?

Many believe so:

Looks like Charlie Brown (Jack Smith) just took another big swing at that football and whiffed again!

BREAKING: Special Counsel Jack Smith Files NEW INDICTMENT Against Donald Trump!

Special counsel Jack Smith has charged Donald Trump in a superseding indictment in the ‘federal election interference case.’

“Today, a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia returned a superseding indictment, ECF No. 226, charging the defendant with the same criminal offenses that were charged in the original indictment,” a Justice Department spokesperson said, according to ABC News.

“The superseding indictment, which was presented to a new grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in this case, reflects the Government’s efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court’s holdings and remand instructions,” the spokesperson added.

“A grand jury in Washington, DC has just returned a superseding indictment against President Trump with four charges, accusing him of attempting to ‘subvert the election.’ THIS IS MORE DEMOCRAT LAWFARE! What’s ACTUALLY being subverted here is the Supreme Court’s ruling granting presidential immunity,” journalist Nick Sortor commented.

Per ABC News:

Trump last August pleaded not guilty to federal charges of undertaking a “criminal scheme” to overturn the results of the 2020 election in an effort to subvert democracy and remain in power.

WATCH:

UncoverDC editor-in-chief Tracy Beanz called the superseding indictment “utterly ridiculous.”

NPR reports:

Prosecutor Molly Gaston, in a new court filing, said the Justice Department will not insist that Trump make an in-person appearance for arraignment on the new indictment. The Justice Department said it will confer with Trump’s lawyers and try to come up with a joint proposal for how to proceed in the case. Judge Tanya Chutkan had asked for an update by Friday.

Special Counsel Jack Smith has been consulting with other officials inside the Justice Department for weeks about the case, which accuses then President Trump of leading a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election and disenfranchise millions of voters. The scheme allegedly culminated in a cascade of violent attacks on police at the U.S. Capitol three years ago.

Trump has denied all charges. His lawyers have said Trump’s words and actions on and before Jan. 6, 2021, amounted to legitimate inquiry about possible election fraud. A conservative supermajority on the Supreme Court largely sided with Trump, giving the former president absolute immunity from prosecution for acts that are “core” to his official duties.

The high court ruling, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, specifically carved out part of the case where Trump had been accused of misusing the Justice Department to pursue phony theories of fraud at the ballot box. But the opinion left open many critical questions for a D.C. trial judge to pursue.

Chutkan asked lawyers for both Smith and Trump for guidance about how to proceed.
