Jack Smith’s top hatchet man, Jay Bratt, abruptly resigned from the Justice Department last week, according to Deep State reporter and fake Trump-Russia dossier peddler Michael Isikoff.
Jay Bratt was one of the main prosecutors who spearheaded the Mar-a-Lago raid, he threatened a lawyer defending Trump’s valet driver and admitted the DOJ tampered with evidence.

A top Justice Department national security prosecutor has become an early casualty of the incoming Trump administration, abruptly resigning from the department last week before incoming appointees can retaliate against him for his key role in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the former president.
The resignation of Jay Bratt, a career lawyer who served as chief of the counterintelligence and export controls section inside the national security division before being detailed to Smith’s staff, has not been publicly announced by the department.
But three sources familiar with the move described it to SpyTalk as a significant and even chilling event previewing a potential exodus of seasoned government lawyers and FBI agents who fear the wrath of Pam Bondi, Trump ’s pick for attorney general, Kash Patel, his intended nominee for FBI Director, and their expected army of MAGA loyalists in line to fill out top posts.
Recall that Jay Bratt threatened Stanley Woodward, an attorney for Trump’s valet driver Walt Nauta.
Jay Bratt tried to bribe Stanley Woodward and threatened him with a sinking judicial nomination if he didn’t get Walt Nauta to testify against Trump.

We should go as low as the Libs. Lower, even.
This ain't shuffleboard we're playing, here.

Resigning won’t help him he crossed to many lines with the wrong people.
The fact that Libs deprive citizens of Liberty is no justification for others to do so.

Might be just a little gunplay.
If you do not meet Stalin with Stalin’s tactics, you will forever be the Kulak.
We’ll just disagree on this, and that’s okay.
My guess is they figure it out of power, there may be less desire to prosecute them, less wrath.
