U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who has Trump’s Washington case brought by Jack Smith, wrote an order that means something is wrong. Her order has postponed the trial indefinitely, and rightly so, given the fact that the questions presented involve what one would classify as Subject Matter Jurisdiction, which can NEVER be waived. She wrote: “The court will set a new schedule if and when the mandate is returned.” By that language, she acknowledges that the case could be dismissed given the lack of a constitutionally valid appointment of Jack Smith. In all honesty, that would be a wonderful thing for the rule of law, for then Trump should sue those behind the prosecution.
