I'm interested in knowing that as well. From what I understand, it will probably be without prejudice because Jack Smith needs to basically wrap up everything in order to be able to release a public report. If they retained the right to re-file, it wouldn't really be over (MOO) and we wouldn't see the report.

That's just all MOO based on what I've read and heard but I could be wrong.

That would be WITH prejudice. It doesn't appear his motion says either way, and I'm guessing he just doesn't want to take a stand. But it may not matter. I don't think it would be able to be refiled anyway.

I realized after I posted my question that I put it on the wrong case, intended for the Jack Smith one, though I guess the question applies to all his federal cases.

I see the documents posted online, it was dismissed WITHOUT prejudice, preserving the right to refile, though the Bluesky poster I read said it is unlikely they'll do so.

Not sure I can post the Bluesky link here but it's a thread/series of posts by Mueller, She Wrote and easy to find.

@PrairieWind I'm curious why you don't think they'll be able to? (assuming he does eventually leave office, that is)

Thank you for clarifying! My legal terminology is tepid at best.

I'd also heard that it would be pointless to try and re-file at any point in the future, because the Trump DOJ would make sure all cases were permanently dropped.

So if Smith does it now--and he hurries--he may be able to get the report released to the public before Trump takes office.

Though it may not always be a trump DOJ. Chutkan has dismissed without prejudice. Can a trump DOJ somehow change her ruling? And if it can, can a future non-trump DOJ change it back to ‘without prejudice’?

A person should not be able to try to subvert election results if an election is not decided in their favour. It should not be overlooked. imo

"Donald Trump isn’t off the hook for Jan. 6 just yet.

Trump is likely to be fighting eight civil lawsuits — from members of Congress and injured police officers — deep into his second term. They may be the last form of legal redress Trump faces for his role in spurring the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

“Our clients suffered real injuries that entitle them to relief, but also I think are seeking some measure of accountability given President Trump’s role in the Jan. 6 events and the events leading up to it.” "

More lawsuits are barreling toward Trump over Jan. 6
