Goodbye, independent DOJ. It was nice knowing you and daydreaming about working there someday.
The NYT asked Jack Smith for comment and this is what he said.
I also like what he apparently said when he was appointed Special Counsel and wanted to name JP Cooney as his deputy: “JP gets shit done” 😆

This is hilarious, I don’t feel very well and I had MS NOW on while I was semi asleep.
When I woke up I thought — that was a wild dream! I dreamt that MS NOW announced that JP Cooney was running for Congress!
And he is 😆 I must have heard someone on MS NOW saying it and thought I was dreaming 🤣

They’ve released video clips now as well, saying they were previously inaccessible (because she didn’t have a subscription to back up footage). If true, that’s some good work by the FBI (I mean the real agents, not Patel and his cronies).
The FBI has released images of the “potential subject” in the kidnap of Nancy Guthrie and they’re terrifying. Full balaclava on his face, tiny holes for his eyes. Genuine nightmare fuel, I can’t even imagine what was going through Nancy Guthrie’s mind OMG

He says he wants to “do an investigation and find out who leaked” the records so they can be prosecuted. Is he unaware that Charles Littlejohn pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years? Seriously?!
BASH: This is a sitting president suing American taxpayers for $10 billon. Are you comfortable with that?
RON JOHNSON: I don't doubt the federal government deserves to be sued. The problem is we don't have $10 billion.

Apparently the review team worked “long days, nights, weekends, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day” **and** “nights, weekends, and holidays”. Yes, you just said that. Two seconds ago. It was all part of the same sentence.

I see MAGA thinks people are about to be arrested for “stealing” the 2020 election. Curiously, they can’t point to a single federal statute such cases could be brought under, or explain how they’d get around the statute of limitations.
Oh, and the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, so there’s that 🤷♀️
