The fascists want us to give up, to lose hope, it is their plan, but dammit when a highly respected conservative judge says the J6 case is all but finished, it is very hard to overcome the feelings of dread.

As justice Katanya Brown Jackson wrote in her dissent, it will be up to the Supreme Court to decide what is official and what is unofficial. The SC gave itself the power to make TSF a king.

… should ignore the Supreme Court and just continue with their business. I know that’s not going to happen, but I can dream, can’t I?

After you've been voted out of office, doesn't seem like an official act to me. Ignoring subpoenas from the justice department to return said documents doesn't sound like an official act either.

the case is not dead, it will be up to the court to decide if his actions qualify as official acts (and news flash, Chutkin is not going to call those official acts).

Luttig has had a lot of bad takes and isn't someone I'd listen to, honestly. He was on the whole "the 14th amendment is self enforcing and doesn't even need a ruling" bandwagon.

The Supreme Court will decide whether or not TSF is prosecuted.

The SC spelled it out that prosecutors cannot use TSF's motive, intent to prove that his acts were unofficial. WTF is that, that's how prosecutors win cases by showing the perp's motive/intent.
