“Justice Department officials plan to pursue the criminal cases against Donald Trump past Election Day even if he wins, under the belief that department rules against charging or prosecuting a sitting president would not kick in until Inauguration Day in January, according to people familiar with the discussions” – WaPo reported.
“Current officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, expressed the same sentiment — that if Trump wins the election, the clock on the two federal cases against him would keep ticking until Jan. 20, when he would be sworn in as the 47th president.” – The Washington Post reported.
The Supreme Court earlier this year heard oral arguments in Fischer v. United States and at issue was statute 18 USC §1512(c)(2):
Whoever corruptly—
(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding; or
(2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
Jack Smith’s charges against Trump remain valid despite the Supreme Court’s overturning of the obstruction charge.
Moreover, in a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court affirmed that Trump holds absolute immunity for his fundamental Constitutional powers.
The high court also emphasized that former presidents are generally presumed to have immunity for their official actions.
As a result of this ruling, Jack Smith’s case against Trump will face further delay as it is sent back to Judge Tanya Chutkan at the lower court.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas raised doubts about Jack Smith’s authority as a special counsel in his concurring opinion on presidential immunity.
Thomas questioned Smith’s legitimacy, citing his previous status as a private citizen and lack of senate confirmation.
This issue is particularly significant as Trump’s legal team is leveraging this argument before Judge Cannon in an attempt to dismiss Jack Smith’s case involving classified documents.
The trial for these documents has been indefinitely postponed by Judge Aileen Cannon following the special counsel’s admission to evidence tampering.

Maybe someone need to sue them for breaking the law and all the misinformation they put out. With all this B/S, this is the most corrupt GOV I have ever seen in my lifetime. The dem’s have made it so you can’t even talk like real people use to do and still get along agree or not it didn’t turn into a big Flipping fight.
paul; you’re correct and it used to be “agree to disagree respectfully;” but since the Commie/Marxist/Nazi Democrat Party got control they have brought it all to the edge of destruction and Fascism!
What’s even worse now is they have given Hunter the Traitor Crack Head Biden a high security clearance to be sitting in on all Security Council meetings in the top echelon of the White House! Now that is another very, very bad sign of what could happen and could potentially make continued Law-fare like kids’ stuff
Most of the top brass at the DOJ will be gone if Trump wins. More likely, President Trump will be going after them.
So they plan to persist in their treasonous Madness? I think NOT! Smith and many others should be going to GITMO or in the very least Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary for life!
Bye-bye Smith you Marxist Criminal Traitor and don’t let that prison cell door hit you in you ass on the way in, those steel bars really can hurt you!
What goes around comes around!
Bud; we can only hope and pray that will happen ASAP!
God bless.

Sadly it takes SCOTUS to balance this nonsense when it shouldn’t have to. There must be some beaurocrats in DoJ who still believe in the Constitution. Maybe Judge Cannon has not only temporarily halted the case due to the claim of improper evidence handling, she knows the documents are primary evidence, and will not likely to be admitted if they’ve been molested.
This is supposedly leaked info, which could be nothing more than disinfo, a primary tactic of these leftists in our government.
BC; this is true the manipulation and propaganda being foisted upon the public is non-stop and enormous throughout our society! There are many contingencies and potential trap doors hidden throughout, so the ball is still in the air until it lands, and where that will be is too uncertain at this point; that is another reason judge Cannon uses her particular “motus operandi” of being methodical and very cautionary to not let these Marxist Commie Traitors pull any wool over her eyes! And because her own mother had gone through living in the Communist dictatorship of Castro in Cuba coupled with her own experiences having been born in Columbia, has provided her with some powerful insights that a typical American born and raised citizen wouldn’t have as deeply ingrained!
I believe she is a very wise lady!
The day he takes office President Trump should demand the resignation of every DoJ, FBI, Homeland Security, ATF employee above the grade of GS 4 or whom is designated as a sworn agent. The Director, Assistant Director and every Deputy Assistant for Whatever should be charged as they knew or should have known that agents of the CIA (contractors included) were involved in politics inside the US. This applies especially to the 51 agents involved in the ‘Laptop Hoax’.
Vetmike; that would be a great thing to do for sure, as our government has been infiltrated by many anti-American bad actors be they homegrown variety Marxists or possibly agents for foreign adversaries this has been the problem I believe for decades, that in conjunction with rampant infiltration throughout our educational and bureaucratic systems these foes have crippled and otherwise deeply poisoned our American Government Institution and Society as a whole to create this dysfunctional nightmare we are experiencing, especially what we see in plain sight with the likes of Merrick Garland as the AG of the DOJ or even such nonsensical rabble-rouse distraction from totally Un-American ilk like the Squad even having a say in anything to do with our Congress. As the recent decades have passed this nation has looked less and less like the American Constitutional Republic under God that our forebears constructed.
