New Records Just Blew A Hole In Jack Smith’s Story About The Mar-a-Lago Case– wltreport.com

EXCERPT:
Jack Smith told a federal court that the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation was prompted by a “criminal referral” from the National Archives.
Newly released records now show the National Archives inspector general described that same communication very differently.
According to the records obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, the February 2022 message was a referral to the Justice Department for “assessment and guidance” — specifically not a criminal referral for prosecution.
The wording goes straight to the origin story Smith used to defend one of the most consequential prosecutions ever brought against a former president.
The records landed as Smith faced fresh scrutiny on Capitol Hill over the reach of his investigations:
Jack Smith handed 4,782 Americans’ bank account and routing numbers, plus home addresses, to the Biden DOJ and FBI as part of Arctic Frost, including information from 42 Iowans.
