    This. Jack Smith hasn’t been able to nail her on any of her antics thus far, as they’ve been plausibly deniable, but her specious reasoning for the dismissal is a prime target for reversal by the 11th Circuit. She’s so bad at her job, she can’t even stall properly.

    If Smith doesn’t go to the 11th Circuit, then he was a terrible choice to begin with, and he was never going to win anything.

      The question now might be whether he appeals to the 11th Circuit Court or straight to the Supreme Court. I fear either way may be too slow to get anywhere before November.

        I doubt this will run its course before November, but if it can be a drain on his sanity and coffers, I’d say it’s still in the public interest to keep it going. As someone who listens to Knowledge Fight often, this kind of stuff gets under their skin and derails their ability to be effective at messaging.

        Ultimately, it’s in the public interest to keep going, if only because it’s still a crime that deserves to be tried on the real possibility that he loses in November.

          Agreed. It’s all very disgusting but no reason for despair, just continued fight.
