The case really boils down to official acts vs private acts.


Prediction:

SCOTUS sends the case back down to Chutkan and forces her to have an evidentiary hearing and force her to make a determination between official and private acts.

Of course she will rule in favor of Jack. Trump will then make an interlocutory appeal to the DC Circuit. The DC Circuit will rule in favor of Jack.

Trump will request an en banc hearing from the DC Circuit. He will be denied.

Trump then will appeal to SCOTUS.

SCOTUS accepts and sets a hearing date after November 5th.

Trump will win on November 5th.

The Trump DOJ will drop the charges. The SCOTUS hearing is then off the docket.

Yeah I think it'll be something along those lines.

How in the heck are you so confident seeing what we've witnessed from 2016 on?

No chance he gets back to the WH with so much riding on the line IMO They will use every power available to them, including assassination, to block that from happening. They have way too much to lose.

This is what Mike Davis and some others are saying. But I am wary. This may be predicted via a rose-colored lens of the way things should be...

Bottom-line they will one way or another remove Trump from the ballot. In case people vote OTHER and write his name in they may jail or JFK him.

If the republican party were on team America First-Trump it would be a completely different outcome.

But they aren't

That seems to be the expert's opinion on this.

IMO I don't think SCOTUS will leave this that open ended. They will give the lower court instructions on determining official vs private acts that should instruct the DOJ on how to handle this in the future while maintain Balance of Powers.

A Trump DOJ may even pursue a SCOTUS ruling after the election in order to 1. further protect Trump, or 2. Go after Biden. Or both.
