Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment of Donald Trump for his role in the January 6 attack on the Capital. The Supreme Court’s broad presidential immunity decision made a superseding indictment necessary. Smith removed the evidence that that decision ruled out and presented the case to another grand jury, which handed down a new indictment. In other words, even with less evidence, a grand jury indicted Trump. Again.

The biggest deletion was of Trump’s interaction with Jeffrey Clark, the lickspittle who volunteered to be Trump’s Attorney General and do his bidding. Under the Supreme Court ruling, this conspiracy to subvert the Department of Justice is official business.

Smith left in some things of unclear status under the decision.

Clark’s disbarment hearing is proceeding. We need to keep in mind that the evidence of Clark’s ambition and dishonesty is public and damning, whatever the Supreme Court has ruled. Clark is unfit to practice law, and Trump will look for people of his caliber to staff his government with if he is elected. Those things remain true, whatever the outcome of the court cases.
