Big winner here: John Roberts
NEWS: SCOTUS will not immediately hear the case over Trump’s immunity claim in connection with the Jan. 6-related federal charges he faces in DC. The DC Circuit, however, has already expedited the appeal to be heard there in early January.

my bet: DC Circuit finds no immunity, SCOTUS denies cert, Roberts once again successfully passes on the hot potato

Smith argued that this case needs to be reviewed by SCOTUS, so he will presumably have to join Trump's cert petition, and it will be weird (but correct, IMO) for SCOTUS to say "you're both wrong, there's nothing compelling for us to look at here".
