Correct.
If SCOTUS sides with Trump and Smith tries that Trump should then completely refuse to cooperate any further.

They will still find him guilty and throw him in a Max Security prison for life. Law does not matter to democrats.
What court is going to work with Jack to do an end run around SCOTUS?
Sadly, I agree with you :(
HE WASN’T
GARLAND needs to be charged, also.
BINGO no democrat or MSM member wants to get near thet question they know the answer.
Sounds insurrectiony to me.
There is “competent lawyering” and then there’s
CORRUPT LAWYERING!
I been that way for years now. I consider lawyers lower than drug dealers.
You’re running out of time, Jack. Come next year your show trial gets shut down, you get fired, and hopefully you get thrown in jail.
Most prosecution cases are run of the mill thefts, assaults, and homicides; all of which have well established bodies of supporting law at the federal and state levels.
Prosecutors routinely use novel legal charging theories in cases of first impression, and in cases where fact patterns may be unclear under the statutes. Technology crimes are one large and current example of that approach, as are complex fraud crimes. Bitcoin fraud is one current example.
You don’t have to agree with them, but the ABA produces the prosecutorial guidelines used across the country’s legal system. The same “canons” are also codified in the DOJ’s prosecution manual.
Check them out and you’ll find Smith and other prosecutors have wide ranging authority in that area.

Here’s the DOJ’s formal charging manual, which Smith is required to comply with.

I don’t have any faith it is being followed, but these are the rules Smith is supposed to be following.
Especially since it will take 11 trips. The first 10 are sounding drops. Did he squeal? Yup? We’re almost high enough.
