    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.

      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.
