Supreme Court Undermines Jack Smith’s Case

“Donald Trump may never see the inside of a criminal courtroom again,” Politico reports.

“The Supreme Court’s sweeping ruling that Trump — and all presidents — are immune from prosecution for their ‘official’ actions immediately gutted some of the central allegations that special counsel Jack Smith leveled against Trump a year ago, when he charged the former president with conspiring to subvert the 2020 election. And it may eventually sink the rest of them, too.”

“Constitutional experts digesting the breathtaking scope of the opinion, authored by Chief Justice John Roberts over a vociferous dissent by the court’s liberal justices, said there’s still a narrow window for Trump to face trial, but it almost certainly can’t happen before the 2024 election. And if Trump wins that election, he’s expected to immediately unravel the case by ordering the Justice Department to drop the charges — or perhaps even by attempting to pardon himself.”
