## Resource

Popok reports on the breaking news that Brian Morrisey, the General Counsel of the Treasury Department handpicked by Trump, has resigned presumably in protest to the phony settlement created by Trump using his captured IRS, Treasury Dept. and Justice Department. Popok also updates on Judge Wiliams' parting shot at Trump in her order closing the case, and what should happen next with a new suit.
