Breaking: It's official: Judge Chutkan GRANTS the prosecution's motion to dismiss Trump's federal election subversion case in Washington, D.C.

"[T]he Government explains that it seeks dismissal pursuant to Department of Justice policy and precedent. ... The court will therefore grant the Government leave to dismiss this case." Read Judge Chutkan's two-page opinion here. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Technically, as in: It. Will. Never. Happen. If new DOJ is unsuccessful in amending the motion to with prejudice, Trump will self-pardon (or resign with 24 hours left for JD to pardon him) or a MAGA successor in 2028 will pardon him. It’s done. A fork, in it stick!

AFAIK a future Trump DoJ can't amend the motion as the judge has already ruled. And yeah, maybe he'll never see justice, but don't underestimate the backlash that's coming if he tries to rule as he says he will, and the extent to which it could transform the "status quo is fine" Dems.

True, judge has ruled. But I am near certain Trump DOJ can and will just file a new motion to change the dismissal to “with prejudice,” and suspect that the judge will allow it. As for any backlash - hopefully it, if at all, won’t come too late and we have the opportunity for a course correction.

how does he keep getting away with it? it's just so dumb. he's like the dumbest person to protect and yet, so many people prop him up, give him power, and protect him from getting in trouble.

One reason, the Dems are still playing by the rules & policies while Rs haven't since 2016. I have no idea why our Dem leaders think being 'right' or 'better than them' is more impt than keeping fascists out of the Oval. History will not be kind to those who just rolled over for the fascists.

There will be no"after presidency."

I'd be OK with it being done posthumously just to drive home the point.

Except he can have his DOJ file to dismiss the case WITH prejudice, and then it's gone forever.

Can you dismiss a case that is already dismissed?

At least it leaves open the possibility of prosecuting him later
