Special Counsel Jack Smith is on a mission to convict Donald Trump before the election, and if needed, before the inauguration.
Smith indicted Trump in the District of Columbia for his conduct leading up to and during Jan. 6.
In December 2023, the D.C. trial court largely ruled in favor of Smith and denied Trump immunity in most contexts.
Smith wanted the Supreme Court to rule on the immunity issue in a matter of weeks.
Judge Cannon's ruling simply held that Jack Smith lacked the authority to conduct the prosecution.
Smith seems to have determined that it is in the best interest of our democracy for voters to know whether Trump is convicted of a federal felony before voting.
In December 2023, the Wall Street Journal observed that Jack Smith was "Dragging the Supreme Court into the political thicket." Once again, it seems that Smith is trying to drag the judiciary into this thicket.
