That is exactly what is going to happen. Chutkan will…

…have her ludicrous decision overturned, SCOTUS will note the obvious that, of course, presidents are immune from criminal prosecution for official acts, and then the trial court will have to determine which charges against Trump relate to his official acts (which is all of them).

You should thank SCOTUS for expediting its schedule for this case. Chutkan herself took two months to write her own decision on immunity that is about to be tossed in the shredder. If she had just ruled correctly six months ago, then the case would be farther along now. DEI hires can be problematic.
