He seems to be helping us in that regard.

At some point, this case will be tried, and he will be convicted. The only way he’ll escape is if he dies before he can be tried.

Note: I am not recommending anyone harm him.

If SCOTUS kicks it back to Chutkin she can say "Hey, this is a serious matter, to determine what are presidential actions and what are personal actions. I am going to hold a hearing and hear what the witnesses have to say."

In other words, a hearing will result in all the evidence that Trump Does Not want to see exposed to the light of day being exposed. It will serve as a trial de facto!!!!

Bring it on!

This is what happens when 3 Bush v. Gore legal team members make it to the SCROTUS. They are making the extremely obvious and quickly avoidable turn into another slow walk for their party, law be damned.

CNN

The Supreme Court appeared ready to reject former President Donald Trump’s claims of sweeping immunity and the broad protections he has sought to shut down his federal election subversion case, but also reluctant to give special counsel Jack Smith carte blanche to pursue those charges.

After nearly three hours of oral arguments, several of the justices seemed willing to embrace a result that could jeopardize the ability to hold a trial before the November election.
