Renee Good's family filed two lawsuits today. The first, against, USG, is a standard wrongful death. The second is a Klan Act lawsuit against Jonathan Ross, AND STEPHEN MILLER and Greg Bovino. It names Nick Shirley and Christopher Rufo as non-party co-conspirators for their racist propaganda.

As many people have noted, Marsha Blackburn claims to be suing Jack Smith for obtaining a lawful subpoena to find out whether Rudy was criming with her.

It's more a lawsuit trying to retroactively claim his appointment was illegal, Aileen Cannon-style.

1) Obviously, everyone is watching the HUGE swing by Latinos
