The Supreme Court granted President Trump “substantia’ immunity, remanding the case back to the Chutkan court to sort out which were “official” and “unofficial” acts. (”Wide ranging immunity” as one observer described it.). This ensures no trial will occur before the election. Alito’s concurrence suggests a veiled threat to Chutkin, namely “anything you deem as ‘un-official’ better damn well be bulletproof or we’ll see this again.” Oh, and Justice Thomas casts shade on Count Dooku (Jack Smith’s) very appointment. Daniel Street on Richard Baris’s show said that this decision “gutted” the prosecution cases. https://www.npr.org/2024/07/01/nx-s1-5002157/supreme-court-trump-immunity
