GA Repubs, ever at the ready to protect the Don, is doing what it can to compromise Willis's prosecution of the MAGA god.
Not to be outdone, Gym Jordan, in an audition to become Trump's AG, is riding to Don's rescue by trying to smear the prosecution in the hush money case.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding documents and information about the Biden Department of Justice's (DOJ) coordination with New York County District Attorney (DANY) Attorney Alvin Bragg and his politicized prosecution of President Donald J. Trump. Matthew Colangelo, a former senior DOJ official, is a lead prosecutor for Bragg and the case centers on testimony from a convicted felon who had been previously prosecuted by the Justice Department.

These are plays right out of the Trumpian playbook. The judge in the Daniels case may have stifled Trump's efforts to continue smearing everyone in sight, but he has no control over Repub elected officials ability to abuse their authority in service of His Orangeness.
Meanwhile on his social media platform a certain increasingly unhinged defendant in 4 criminal cases wrote........."ARREST DERANGED JACK SMITH. HE IS A CRIMINAL."
You'll never guess how many congressional Repubs publicly condemned the open attack on the rule of law.
When I began using the acronym POT for Party of Trump I did not imagine the transformation of the former GOP in to a party all consumed with their Dear Leader would be so complete. I've never been so wrong. Members are absolutely all in or they are jettisoned as unfaithful pariahs. It's been horrifying to watch.
