Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If she dismisses because it has to be filed in DC...they can just file in DC, get a more favorable judge, and have a great reason for why the court must reject Trump's inevitable change of venue request.
Florida was only picked to avoid change-of-venue requests. It's not like there is nowhere to legally charge this case.
But that would virtually guarantee that the case would be pushed out until 2025 at the earliest, which is exactly what Trump wants. He wants to draw this out until he either gets re-elected and just has the cases dismissed, or he just dies without having ever been found guilty. And considering he's 77 years old and thinks the four basic food groups are McDonalds, Burger King, Wendys, and Dunkin Donuts, the odds of him getting what he wants are pretty heavily in his favor and only increase with every frivilous delay tactic.
If she dismisses with prejudice that means the case cannot be re-filed. I'm not sure if that's something she's able to do in this case, but that would effectively kill the case completely.
Edit: I am by no means a... law... talking... guy, so it's good to hear from multiple replies that this is most likely not an out for Tr(eason)ump.
You can't dismiss with prejudice because of a simple jurisdictional issue like that. "You should have filed it somewhere else, but now you can't file it anywhere". Prejudice means that the case has no merit and saying you should have filed it somewhere else indicates it is possibly meritorious.
I don’t think the appeals court will let that stand.
Yeah, dismissing with prejudice would get reversed immediately.
If she has the authority to do so, there's nothing that an appeals court can do about it. Once a case is dismissed, that's the end of it.
You can appeal a dismissal just like any other final judgement.
Even if she did it wouldn't stick on appeal and it would only affect the new charges. The original indictment was from a grand jury in Miami.
