It's nowhere close. She has to figure the immunity issue, and however she rules, we then get another appeal.Looks like it. Hearing scheduled this month.

The Supreme Court already canned the Sarbanes Oxley charge, and the KKK charge rests on even thinner ice. What a waste of time and money. The DC cases should be dropped. This is what you get when a hack like Jack Smith is in charge.Looks like it. Hearing scheduled this month.
Judge sets Aug. 16 hearing in Trump's federal election interference case
This will be the first time in seven months the parties will appear in Judge Chutkan’s courtroom.
Commentary I'm seeing says she could have Smith provide all the evidence they plan to present and she would then rule on what's in and what's out. Those hearings would at least get the case out in the open before the election.
I’d like to read that commentary. I think the immunity issue is different from evidence to support the indictment.
Even if you are correct, what is to be gained by arguing the appeal instead of just eliminating the argument altogether with another appointment? Smith isn’t worth the trouble.

Judge Chutkan released the filing, not Jack Smith. Smith didn't ask it to be made public and he submitted it under seal to the Judge. It's a stupid rule, by the way, and it's not a law and not binding. It doesn't apply to the Judge, and it's not possible to know her purpose for releasing it without her saying what her purpose was. She's made it clear all along that she's not bound by Justice Department guidelines and the case was previously indicted and litigating the case is an obligation of the Smith team and the Trump team is also obligated.Jack Smith’s October Surprise
The special counsel had information he wanted to make public. But he bent important rules to do so.
“So what does the rule tell us? ‘Federal prosecutors…may never select the timing of any action, including investigative steps, criminal charges, or statements, for the purpose of affecting any election.’”

It's hard to believe this guy could ever be the president, again but he will be..
I don't think so. I'm going to trust the American people to do the right thing, just like they did four years ago.
