What’s that old saw if you take a shot at the king you’d best not miss? Soon we’ll all find out what happens when you miss.
Remember Special Prosecutor Jack Smith? The guy pulled in from work on the Hague for the explicit purpose of running an operation to take down DJT once and for all? He blew through Constitutional red lines left and right, in the name of ‘justice’ and thought nothing of it.
Ends justify the means, and all of that. But at least ONE of the many shortcuts he took in his witch-hunt is coming back to haunt him.
Not only did he violate the constitutional rights of dozens of members of Congress — violating a coequal branch of government in the process — but he made it worse by sitting under oath and telling Congress he had NOT seized and gained access to their persona phone records. The cherry on top was the (explicitly unlawful) order given to phone carriers (with the implied weight of the DOJ behind his order!) that by no means were the public officials whose rights he was violating to be informed that their records had been (unlawfully) accessed.
We only recently learned the extent to which he had accessed not only information about which numbers had been contacted as he had first claimed, but also the privileged CONTENT of the communications. (Which he had denied.) Even Democrats like Senator Cory Booker were caught up in the scheme.
Oversight has given a criminal referral to the DOJ for plainly illegal actions that were undertaken. This 5-minute spot is Jordan’s first TV interview since the news of the referral broke:

He was told you’ve gotta give the whole truth.
And did you catch the end where he’s talking about the SAVE Act? We’ve got news there, too. We might have a way to make at least part of the voter security happen without getting hung up with the 60 vote Senate threshold.
The House bolted some of those provisions right into a section of the next budget bill, the one now headed to the Senate. If it gets 50 or more votes, it can be passed through reconciliation.
