Jack Smith, the special counsel who has brought two cases against former President Donald Trump, made a bold move this week designed to undercut one of Trump’s chief defenses against accusations of plotting to overturn the 2020 election.
Smith asked the Supreme Court to rule on Trump’s attempts to have the election subversion charges dismissed on a sweeping claim of executive immunity before a lower appeals court even has the chance to consider the issue.
Smith also asked the justices to make their decision quickly.
“The United States recognizes that this is an extraordinary request,” he told the Supreme Court in a petition filed Monday.
But there was a reason it was needed.
“This is an extraordinary case,” he wrote.
Here is a look at the intersecting legal and political issues surrounding the special counsel’s move.

Will Obama be indicted for murder for all those he droned?
Will Bill Clinton be indicted for genocide against the Serbs?
This is the other side of the issue facing the court.
It’s not just about Trump.
No worries about Obama, Bill Clinton or even Biden being indicted during the next Republican administration. No Republican AG will take that action against a Democrat. Donald Trump frequently talked about prosecuting Hillary during the 2016 election. As soon as he was elected he announced he wouldn’t go there.
Blah blah blah yadda yadda
It’s all a bunch of BS cover for the fact that they want to take Trump down legally before the primaries, or at least before the convention.
To put it simply, Smith needs to fast track it so he can keep the trial on schedule to interfere with the election.
EC
The Supreme Court had an election that was in dispute with multiple states breaking their own laws to change rules. A corrupted politician on the brink of usurping power from the people and the Supreme Court saw no reason to expedite anything. The fact that they are entertaining this says so much about how there are special rules and “laws” in place to Stop Trump.
The SC has shown many times they do not go for leap frogging yet they took this. I think that traitor Roberts gave Smith the green light. Trump seems unstoppable so l think Roberts is going to help Smith take Trump off the board.
I’ll make it even easier. Will the DOJ Indict Hillary for election interference because of her funding and pushing Russia, Russia, Russia gate?
The fix is in.
And yes, if Trump is elected time to go back and bring charges against Obama, Biden and Clinton.
And yes, if Trump is elected time to go back and bring charges against Obama?

The riots in the blue cities will be catastrophic
Good- let them eat their own
“I think that traitor Roberts gave Smith the green light. “
But the Supreme Court hasn’t decided to take the case, correct?
Roberts is the top bananna of the Bananna Republic ( formerly the USA )
Yeah...the narrative is so tiring.
How about “exploring legal options due to legitimate concerns of voter fraud”. As if exploring options is now illegal. It’s done every day.
Correct.
The riots in the blue cities will be catastrophic
They need to be cleaned up.
Pres Trump, here is your defense,
“We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” - Joe Biden
Straight from the horse’s ...
Attorneys are said to never ask a question in court they don’t already know the answer to, which suggests that Smith’s team knows the fix is in with the quisling Roberts court.
Four votes already locked up for Smith. He just needs to pick off Gorsuch or Barett. Roberts will pressure those two.
