The recent order from a Fulton County Superior Court judge stems from a months-long pursuit by the conservative watchdog Judicial Watch to obtain communications between Willis' office and the Jan. 6 select committee, as well as former special counsel Jack Smith’s team. The order is the latest setback in the case for Willis after a judge ordered her office in January to pay about $22,000...

PARDONGATE: Donald Trump should ignore the preemptive, blanket pardons just issued by whoever is running the Biden WH. Specifically, President Trump should immediately court-martial Milley and proceed as appropriate in criminally investigating Fauci and any one else on the Biden's list.
