## Resource

Popok reports on AG Todd Blanche having a tell: He gets really fake "angry" and shakes his finger when he knows he's lying to the American People, and he did it again on Sunday in a series of Sunday Morning Talk Show appearances, attacking CNN and MSNOW and the free press all over again, distorting the facts about Judge Kelly's recent order; and violating the First Amendment again.
