Prosecutors file MAJOR STIPULATION in Trump Case
In a breaking development in the Trump DC Election Interference criminal case, Special Counsel Jack Smith just revealed to the court that he continues to consult with all DOJ division heads and DOJ leadership to reach a consensus on what position to take on the Supreme Court’s immunity decision and has asked for 3 more weeks to report back to the judge on it. Michael Popok analyzes why it’s taking the DOJ and Jack Smith so long to make its decision, its impact on thousands of other cases now and in the future, and why it does not actually cause any real delay to the case after all.
