It is clear that Democrats are set to sweep control of Congress in free and fair elections. It is also clear that Trump and the GOP are working to make sure the elections are not free and fair. I founded Democracy Docket to help you stay informed to fight back. demdock.com/4w6emld

Second, mechanically, here is what I think happened. Schmitt got hold of Smith staff texts that reference a game, and were confused about some mention of the Hawks/Hawkeyes. (Schmitt would say the Hawks game was the only NCAA/NBA game that day, but thats not true - there were five other NBA games).
Schmitt’s staff were looking for a gotcha they could use against Smith. They accessed Wallach’s texts, possibly via friendly sources at the FBI or Department of Justice. (They did not explain their sourcing). They found a string of texts about a basketball game featuring the Hawks/Hawkeyes. They thought “the Hawks - wait, they play in Atlanta - which is where Fani Willis lives.” Ladies and gentleman, we got him.
