## Resource

Popok reports on breaking news, that the House MAGA Republicans, led by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, have made a bogus criminal referral of Special Counsel Jack Smith directly to Todd Blanche, who has a disabling conflict of interest because he was Trump's lead criminal defense lawyer against Smith to begin with!  Popok also explains the bad faith basis for the referral and suggests that the only way the DOJ gets an indictment from a grand jury is to lie to them.
