Bratt Takes the Fifth (and not the Whiskey Kind)
Timothy Birdnow
The noose is tightening around the throat of former Trump special prosecutor Jack Smith.
NEW: AP reporting that House Judiciary Committee interviewed Jay Bratt, former top DOJ official and Jack Smith's lead thug in classified docs case, on Wednesday. Bratt repeatedly invoked Fifth Amendment
It was the Bratty one who pushed the Mar-a-Lago raid over objections from FBI agents and others. He also has been accused of abusing his authority to extort false testimony against President Trump.
Bratt was wise to invoke the fifth; he would have either have to incriminate himself or perjur himself.
At any rate the crimes continue to creep up the ladder and I suspect soon Mr. Smith will feature promiently in them. I hope so; I have little doubt Smith broke laws in his witch hunt to take out Trump.
