“A response from the prosecutors is due on Oct 10, meaning the material could possibly become public in mid-October.”
Surprise!

Can its release be appealed to the Supreme Court? If so, we’re not seeing it any time soon, if ever.

I would wonder why a defendant wouldn’t want evidence in the public eye especially when they have been professing to be totally innocent.

It won’t move the needle on the election:
His voters won’t care.
Harris voters will still vote for her, just harder.
The “undecideds” will remain low information voters who will either miss it entirely or be too busy to digest it.
The media won’t report it properly because it won’t bump ad revenue.

I’m betting on DNA evidence from the Ketchup stains on the walls.

Interesting how we expect key filings to reveal the “truth,” yet we’ve seen over and over that public opinion is shaped less by facts and more by what people want to hear. If transparency is the answer, why does it seem like every big revelation only deepens divisions?

> A day after filing a sealed brief seeking to justify his superseding indictment against Donald Trump, special counsel Jack Smith is pushing to file a public version of the brief that includes "Substantive" summaries of what investigators learned from witnesses in the former president's federal election interference case.
> If permitted by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, the public filing could shed new light on the government's sweeping case against Trump by making public the summaries of information obtained from witness interviews, grand jury testimony, and search warrants.
> In July, the Supreme Court ruled in blockbuster decision that Trump is entitled to immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts undertaken while in office – effectively sending the case back to Chutkan to sort out which charges against Trump can stand.
Good, I’m glad he wants the public to see it. The public deserves to know. Okay sure, the Trump supporters will call it fake news. But in this close election, even if only a few people change their minds and decide not to vote for Trump, that may be enough.

This will just be delayed until after the election like everything else

A smart Jack Smith knows that if Trump is elected, Smith’s efforts will end and all evidence buried. Thus, like the January 6 investigation committee, put all the evidence that he can before the public to protect against that possibility. Let’s hope that judge chutkan agrees with him.

It should definitely be in the public interest to know this information when the defendant is actively running for the highest office in the land.

I’ve heard this dozens of times now. I still struggle to understand why TF not. So, the people who matter will not GAF about this report.
