Smith filed for the indictments to be dismissed without prejudice. Hypothetically, that mean someone could try to pursue the claims again, come February 2029. That is not likely, of course, between passage of time and all the information that is still emerging about what happened that day (e.g. Pentagon denizens delaying Trump's order to deploy National Guard Troops) and its lead-up. The latter will, cumulatively, be so devastating that even DU's own ace lawyer/liar laserhaas couldn't avoid a summary dismissal.
Oversimplifying, there are two sorts of 1/6 defendants:
* Those who did something; most or all of these received unconstitutionally disproportionally severe sentences, and their sentences will probably be commuted to time served (including pre-trial incarceration);
* Those who did almost or literally nothing and either pled guilty to something because of inability to defend themselves or who, nearly 4 years later, still are awaiting trial; these will probably be pardoned.
I could be wrong, in that Trump might be so POed at the massive injustices done in 1/6 cases that he would pardon all, plus or minus the few who assaulted police officers. IMO, the Capitol Police officer who shot Ashli Babbitt should be in prison for the highest degree of Manslaughter or for Second Degree Murder. She was unarmed and a threat to absolutely no one.
