My Latest for RealClear Investigations

JP Cooney, a top henchmen for Jack Smith, is one of three former federal prosecutors running for Congress as a Democrat. And all three are using their anti-Trump bona fides as their main platform.

JP Cooney may not be a household name, but it should be.

Here is just one example of what a little worm (snake?) he is:

Cooney recently admitted he plans to help lead the effort to impeach the president if he’s elected in the newly-drawn 7th Congressional district in Virginia. (Odds are against higher courts maintaining the map.)
