What this site is not
It is not a finding that Van Grack was convicted of withholding evidence, lying to a court, or running a secret side deal. Sidney Powell’s Brady and FARA claims, and commentary in The Federalist, Daily Wire, National Review, and Gateway Pundit, are labeled allegations or commentary. The May 7, 2020, withdrawal is a one-sentence notice, not a confession.
It is not a White House product. It is not lawsuit-proof. Read the posts.
