If Cannon was still presiding when this came to trial, she could wait until the jury was sworn in, and then dismiss it with prejudice. The charges could not be brought again as double jeopardy would be involved. This way, the FBI still has the evidence and another judge can oversee the trial if the 11th Circuit boots her off the case. Regardless, dismissing Jack Smith's charges don't make the case go away.
This my understanding as well. However, it does further delay the case, perhaps forever unless he is defeated in November.
