    No real changes here, next date to watch is Friday, 8/30:

    If you’re trying to keep track of where we’re at in the Trump prosecutions:

    Updated 08/27/2024

    Washington, D.C.
    4 federal felonies
    January 6th Election Interference
    Investigation
    Indictment
    Arrest  <- You Are Here
    Trial - The trial, originally scheduled for March 4th, had been placed on hold pending the Supreme Court ruling on Presidential Immunity.

    The Supreme Court ruled that the President does enjoy limited immunity for “official acts”, it now returns to lower court to determine what, if any, of his acts leading up to 1/6 were “official”.

    On 8/27, a new federal grand jury re-indicted Trump on all four counts in a hearing this time excluding evidence barred by the Supreme Court.

    Previously, Jack Smith had asked for a delay until 8/30 to determine a path forward, it would seem this new indictment is the path.

    Investigation

    Investigation
    Indictment
    Original indictment was for 37 felonies.   3 new felonies were added on July 27, 2023.
    Arrest <- You Are Here
    Trial - The trial had been set to begin May 20, 2024, but was subsequently delayed indefinitely by the judge, and has now been dismissed outright under the claims that the prosecutor was not Constitutionally appointed.
    https://www.reuters.com/legal/judge-tosses-trump-documents-case-ruling-prosecutor-unlawfully-appointed-2024-07-15/

    Jack Smith appealed Judge Cannon’s ruling on Monday, 8/26 to the 11th circuit.

    Conviction
    Sentencing

    Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, or the Arizona fake electors, have not been announced.

    The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it’s a civil case and not a crimimal one. He was found liable in that case for $83.3 million.

    There had been multiple cases in multiple states to remove Trump from the ballot, citing ineligibility under the 14th amendment.

    The Supreme Court ruled on March 4th that states do not have the ability to determine eligibility in Federal elections.

      There is a change, though.

      Jack Smith reworded the indictment to get around the corrupt SCOTUS, and STILL GOT A GRAND JURY TO AGREE THAT A CRIME WAS PROBABLY COMMITTED.

      Damn the torpedoes! Full steam ahead, boys!

      No real changes on a legal front true, as you have shown, but every bit of bad news makes Trump just a little bit more deranged and turns a few more people off, so I’m fine celebrating it anyway.
