This is Michael Popoc, legal AF. No sweeter words have ever been spoken, perhaps in the English language in the following.

The court has regained jurisdiction over this case.

That's the words of Judge Tanya Chutkin, who just issued a ruling regaining control over the DC

election interference case now that it's been returned to her by the United States Supreme

Court.

And she's issued a new ruling, a new order setting requirements for

Donald Trump and the Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith. She

recognizes Jack Smith's validity and constitutional purpose in being a prosecutor, unlike Judge Aline Cannon.

She wants Judge Tanya Chutkin, as we predicted on Legal AF, just a week or so ago is calling everybody else and

everybody involved in the case back to court they will be required to attend a

status conference on the 16th of August at 10 a.m. in her courtroom Donald Trump doesn't need to attend by her order and she wants a week before that on August 9th just a few days away a week or so away she wants the parties

Donald Trump's lawyers on one side and the special counsel's office on the other to meet and confer, have a conference offline and file a status report to propose how to get this case back on track.

And in the interim, in the same breath, in just one page, not a paperless order like

alien cannon, but a real honest to God order.

She also denied one of several motions to dismiss that have been pending on the books, but

were stayed by the Supreme Court immunity case until they made

their ruling.

She ruled on an October 23rd, 2023 motion to dismiss on statutory grounds that Donald Trump had

filed to argue that no part of the indictment properly stated a claim for the

four criminal counts against him. A 34 page brief filed way

back then. A PIN was placed in the decision-making by the court until the immunity

decision was finally rendered, you know, eight or nine months later.
