@emptywheel Good read. And I know this is good news, but the more I read, the madder I got about Biden's "can't we all get along!?" strategy - when he Should've taken a frickin wrecking ball to Congress & SCOTUS

This is 🗝️

«Easiest way 2 hold Trump accountable for J6..that doesn’t remotely implicate prez immunity: charge him 4 fundraising fraud, ..[like] SDNY used 2 charge Steve Bannon & co-conspirators 4 fundraising off wall Trump never built. [Yet, no] hint o that in indictment currently b4 Judge Chutkan. Fact that prosecutrs didn’t incl fundraising directly tied to J6, though it would..ensure they got 2 use J6 speech @ trial, suggests they may b withholding it to use in some other way»

@emptywheel The important question is whether Smith's filing punctures Trump immunity arguments. Which, judging from Trump's Sturm und Drang on the subject means Smith did. There's not enough time for DOJ to prosecute Trump ahead of the election, but that was never in question. This sets up Trump's prosecution after it happens. I suspect the election will not go Trump's way, and that allows him to finally be held accountable for his crimes...
