A legal expert has pinpointed a case that could have explosive implications for the ongoing legal saga surrounding Jack Smith’s pursuit of former President Donald Trump.

Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy has drawn attention to the Supreme Court’s review of the Biden DOJ’s use of felony obstruction statutes. McCarthy stressed that the outcome of this review, particularly in the case Fischer v. United States, could “blow up” Smith’s indictment against Trump.

“The case to keep your eye on is the obstruction case,” McCarthy emphasized during an appearance on Fox News. He highlighted the significance of the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the obstruction statute, stating that it could have a “catastrophic impact” on Smith’s case against Trump.

At the center of the matter is the interpretation of 18 USC Section 1512(c)(2), which federal prosecutors have utilized to charge January 6 protesters with felony obstruction.

“The D.C. Circuit’s expansion of Section 1512(c)(2) beyond evidence impairment to protests at the seat of government thus conflicts with the interpretations of other courts of appeal,” attorneys for January 6 defendant Joseph Fischer explained in a legal brief submitted to the Supreme Court.

McCarthy’s remarks come amid Trump’s argument regarding presidential immunity in the January 6 case, adding another layer of complexity to the legal proceedings.

The Supreme Court’s rulings in these cases could reshape the legal landscape surrounding obstruction of an official proceeding statutes and have far-reaching consequences for the prosecution of January 6 defendants, including Trump. As the legal battle intensifies, all eyes are on the Supreme Court’s decisions, which could potentially upend Smith’s entire pursuit.
