Andrew Weissmann, a former federal prosecutor, noted on social media that Smith's filing is "VERY geared" toward a review by the high court.
I have to give it to this Fake News outlet. The Title does not reflect the contents but their hopes.
They even quote Trump from an earlier case regarding Presidential immunity. The irony is totally lost on them.
But .... clearly, Scumbag Andrew is closely following the case, and it would not surprise me if, given the outlandish base of Smiths claims, he is behind it.
He could not get Trump when working for Mueller ... this is the rebound.
God Bless President Donald Trump, his wife, family, legal team, friends, Q followers, most of all his security team and their families too, God Bless America, missing children and you the reader Too.🙏
If Trump is not immune from being prosecuted for events that occurred while in office, then no current or previous president is either. He can't be immune.
United States v. Donald Trump, Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
Just a couple more thoughts on this:
No matter what happens at the appeals level, this thing is headed to SCOTUS.
If Trump wins the appeal, Smith will appeal to SCOTUS.
If Trump loses the appeal, he will appeal to SCOTUS.
If SCOTUS rules Trump does have Presidential Immunity, then the DC case is dead- it’s dismissed.
If SCOTUS rules Trump does not have Presidential Immunity, then it puts every previous, current, and future President at risk of prosecution.
(I think this is the least likely outcome, btw)
If SCOTUS lands in between those two places, acknowledging some Presidential Immunity but not total Immunity, then it’s the best of both worlds: Trump’s legal risk is possibly reduced, and the legal risks to previous, current and future Presidents are increased.
A:) If he is innocent he should have his day in court and prove what a scumbag Smith is. B:) if Presidents are immune from criminal prosecution I am afraid of what Biden might do.
Indeed. But the founding fathers deliberated on the question of presidential immunity, and chose immunity. Why? Because without that level of immunity, then it would be possible for any and all exiting presidents to be charged and legally attacked by following administrations on political grounds, opening the way for a banana republic.

Tricky question.
They don't get immunity for treason. Trump didn't commit treason.
I agree that he can’t be immune. This way he can go back and arrest all the past thugs that were presidents and hold them accountable!
The boomerang from all of this will be glorious.
They just have to get one more jab at him before the year is done.
I guess they missed this.

I have a feeling GEOTUS is somewhere cozy not giving a fuck. Just a hunch
“Stung?”
My bet is on that he invited it. Precedent and all.
Then they walk straight into the trap.
LOL, "STUNG" by legal filing
Could be Trump doing the sting..
By purposefully writing that in a Supreme Court case
If he in fact has the playbook and knows their moves
Is relinquishing his immunity in advance to give himself a day in court
