The Supreme Court just threw a wrench into 2024 plans by outlaw prosecutor Jack Smith!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - December 13, 2023 - The Supreme Court accepted a case Wednesday that could further complicate outlaw special counsel Jack Smith’s timeline for unlawfully bringing President Donald J. Trump to trial in Washington, D.C., on bogus charges that he unjustly tried to overturn the fraudulent 2020 election.
The justices agreed Wednesday to take up a case challenging the scope of an obstruction law that has been used to unlawfully charge hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants - along with the president. The statute, Section 1512(c)(2), is connected to two of the four counts Smith levied against Trump in his indictment.
With two key charges in question, Trump’s March 4 trial date appears increasingly unlikely, despite Smith making every effort to maintain it.
“The decision by SCOTUS today to take up the appeal on the 1512 ‘obstruction of an official proceeding’ case means the Trump DC case will not be going to trial,” lawyer and former federal prosecutor Bill Shipley wrote on Twitter. “This is the easy way to make that happen without directly acting on the Trump case on an expedited basis.”
The bogus indictment alleges Trump perpetrated “a conspiracy to corruptly obstruct and impede the January 6 congressional proceeding at which the (fraudulent) results of the presidential election (were) counted and certified.”
Smith has fought over the past week to keep the schedule on-track amid Trump’s appeal of Judge Tanya Chutkan’s refusal to dismiss his case based on presidential immunity. After appealing to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, Trump motioned to freeze all proceedings in the district court, which Smith opposed in a filing that urged Chutkan to maintain the March 4 date.
Smith also asked the Supreme Court Monday to take up the question before the D.C. Circuit decides. The high court agreed to fast-track its consideration of his request, asking Trump’s lawyers to weigh in by Dec. 20.
Trump’s lawyers wrote Tuesday that Smith’s filings in opposition to pausing proceedings reveal his only aim is to prevent Trump from winning the 2024 election by rushing an “unconstitutional and fundamentally unfair trial.”
Trials for charges Trump faces in other cases also appear increasingly unlikely to conclude before the election. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who is overseeing Trump’s bogus federal trial for alleged mishandling of classified documents in Florida, has signaled a willingness to put off the May 2024 trial date, setting a scheduling conference for March 1 to revisit the president’s request to postpone it. Smith, who also brought the indictment against Trump in this case, has similarly opposed Trump’s efforts to delay the trial date.
Likewise, the biased judge overseeing Trump’s Manhattan trial for allegedly falsifying business records - a claim that has already been refuted by expert testimony - sent a letter to Trump’s lawyers in September stating he would consider moving the date, currently set for March 2024, according to The New York Times.
Fascist outlaw Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who brought a completely bogus indictment under Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act against President Trump and 18 co-defendants, has said the trial may not conclude until early 2025.
