I believe Blanche just said in response to Hawley that they are investigating Jack Smith for perjury -- lr at least seriously considering it. This whole bogus narrative is helping anchor an argument for Blanche, including on the part of Tillis.

One of the most brazen lies in American politics told by MAGA and Christian Nationalists is that we were "founded as a Christian nation." The founders themselves left a clear record demolishing this narrative. Alongside @americansunited.bsky.social, I bring the receipts.

3/ "In essence, the DOJ’s argument is that it would be proper for a grand jury to investigate a time-barred crime, indict a defendant or defendants ... when the conclusion is inevitable—the statute of limitations on the relevant crimes has run. ... a dead-end prosecution."
The DOJ essentially asks the Court to turn a blind eye to the DOJ’s
investigation of nonspecific allegations and/or crimes which have no possibility of
a conviction. In essence, the DOJ’s argument is that it would be proper for a grand
jury to investigate a time-barred crime, indict a defendant or defendants, and allow
pretrial procedures to begin, when the conclusion is inevitable—the statute of
limitations on the relevant crimes has run. Therefore, the DOJ asks the Court to use its already scarce judicial resources on what would be a dead-end prosecution.

Federal court takes needed, extraordinary step to prevent DOJ's extraordinary threat to elections. Judge Ray (Trump appointee) quashes DOJ use of grand jury subpoena in Fulton County. Blanche DOJ's action "threatens to chill participation in future elections." www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...
B. The Subpoena Places an Undeniable High Burden on Fulton County
As compared to the DOJ’s low need for the subpoenaed information, the
burden of compliance for Fulton County is severe. As stated, Fulton County is the
most populous county in the State of Georgia. Undoubtedly, Fulton County depends
on thousands of workers, volunteers, and other staff to run its elections. The
Subpoena requests disclosure of personal identifying information of thousands of
employees and volunteers who participated in activities related to the 2020 Election.
Such a large disclosure of information threatens to chill participation in future
elections, which will surely impact Fulton County
