Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri addressed a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland Thursday demanding that the Department of Justice (DOJ) hand over internal communications with special counsel Jack Smith regarding his latest superseding indictment of the former president.
Schmitt criticized Smith’s indictment in the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump as well as the DOJ’s renewed interest in the “Russian election interference bogeyman” as evidence of political weaponization, according to the letter....

Schmitt is my Senator, and I think he has the right idea. But the reality is the Garland and the DoJ don’t care about Congress. We do not have an effective legislature representing the people. Whoever controls the White House controls the entire government.
Judge Chutkan is the enabler who’s ignoring Judge Cannon’s ruling. If Chutkan said, hold one one second, Jack Smith would be stopped in his tracks. Garland is stonewalling - hoping Harris will be elected and the issue will go away.
Of course, but this time I don't think Trump will let them wiggle off the hook.
An opposition party would be handing out weapons and ammo.
