@Teri_Kanefield: Might we be due for some fun reading legal documents? Smith's latest response to the nonsense in the documents case is artful. I particularly like the top of page 8.

As I posted earlier, I'm switching servers.

If you missed it, see my pinned post for how I am going about this.

Here is Judge Chutkan's order denying Trump's motion to dismiss based on claims of immunity: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.258149/gov.uscourts.dcd.258149.171.0.pdf

A motion to dismiss is a pretrial motion that says "even if everything the prosecution says is true, there is no case and nothing to put before the jury because I win as a matter of law."

These are always uphill battles.

Here, Trump put forward a novel theory about presidential immunity.

@Teri_Kanefield it is #FunReadingLegalDocuments -

"At the defendant’s initial appearance, and in several television interviews, defense counsel has suggested that the Speedy Trial Act is intended only to protect the defendant’s rights ...

Not so.

Under both the Sixth
Amendment’s Speedy Trial Clause and the Speedy Trial Act, the right to a timely trial is vested in the public, not just in the defendant.

Jack Smith and his team are so well prepared here, and keep on hitting it out of the park.
