In reply to the discussion: Mar-a-Lago judge wants to hear more from the state and the defense about unlawful appointment and funding of Jack Smith [View all]AverageOldGuy
(3,038 posts)25. Good. Fire Jack Smith, drop the charges.
Then -- Dept of Justice takes Smith's work, files the same charges -- IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA where a real judge will take the case, set a trial date, tell Trump's lawyers to GFY, pick a DC jury, and hang the MF -- excuse me, meant to say "and hang the clown who poses as a former President."
Double jeopardy does not attach to re-filing the charges in another venue because he has never come to trial, never been found guilty or not guilty.
DC Federal Court is no problem because Trump removed the classified material from the White House without authority to do so, which is in DC, so, DC is where the crime was committed.
Of course, all this depends on Sleepy Garland deciding to wakethefuckup and do the right thing.

OP
It's a delay tactic from the defense, and the loose cannon picked up the thread

I think they'll find some excuse to toss the case back to the lower court for further review.

Right, it's a shoot the messenger deal, like Fani Willis. Nothing to do with the evidence or the case

So, I get that the fix is in with this creep. And it's clear she is so stupid that she couldn't

Imagine what would have happened if the Dems had played these reindeer games with Ken Starr.

And she is no doubt getting help from Leonard Leo's friends who got her the appointment to start with.
