Jack Smith Makes Baller Move In January 6th Case

One of Donald Trump's favorite legal tactic is delay, delay, delay. He has used it successfully in every major trial thus far, avoiding true accountability in any meaningful way. But it appears he has met his match in Special Counsel Jack Smith.

Trump's lawyers have tried to slow the freight train movement of the DC Jan 6th case by filing motions, appeals, appeals on appeals and even more motions to clog the docket in this trial. This far, Judge Chutkan has made it clear that she intends to keep the March 4, 2024 trial date and Jack Smith's team has met every motion and appeal with expedited and thorough responses. This has infuriated Trump's team to no end.

Well, today the Special Counsel pulled what may be the most BALLER move thus far. He filed a request with the Supreme Court to ask them to rule on Trump's argument that he has absolute immunity from prosecution. In a shocking move, the justices quickly agreed to fast-track the first phase of the case.
