With all of the above items in mind, what Trump and Co. can do to rectify this?
This motion WOULD NOT have surprised DJT's legal team at all.
When a prosecutor moves to dismiss a case, it is almost always "without prejudice." The defendant, by contrast, would always move for a dismissal with prejudice.
Had Smith moved to dismiss with prejudice, the facts alleged in the motion would have opened up a can of worms, because the standard is much higher. The optics for the DOJ in filing such a motion would have been terrible. Instead they took the conservative route of moving to dismiss without prejudice (which was strategically the correct one).
No way in hell was the DOJ going to hand any ammo to the 47th administration, or to DJT's legal team. They are totally in CYA mode.
Should these crooked evil bastards try to refile, it will be all guns blazing for the defense. I suspect they are scared to death that their very dirty dealings will soon be exposed to, and therefore become understood by, the general public.
NB: I am 30+ years out of the legal world, but I am confident I have more common legal sense than 90% of Ivy League Law School professors and graduates (many of whom I believe have gone insane with Trump-hatred, see for example Jennifer Rubin and Seth Abramson).
