Donald Trump seems to think that he’s scored some kind of victory because Judge Tanya Chutkan has placed the criminal case on hold while the U.S. Court of Appeals hears Trump’s appeal about having “presidential immunity.” It’s actually just a procedural move and not a win in any way.

But Trump nonetheless seemed shocked when Jack Smith continued making filings in the criminal case even while it was on “hold.” Trump even had his attorneys make the laugh out loud nonsensical move of asking the court to hold Smith in contempt for making such filings. Now Smith is firing back.

Jack Smith has now filed a response to Trump’s complaint, pointing out that Judge Chutkan didn’t forbid Smith from making additional filings. Smith is basically using his filing to explain to Trump how things actually work, to the point that it’s humiliating for Trump – if Trump were capable of feeling such a thing.
