The latest mishaps of the Biden Department of Justice is something straight out of a suspense thriller, with a twist of political irony. The Senate Judiciary Committee has uncovered that during a criminal investigation into President Trump back in 2022, special counsel Jack Smith obtained and reviewed text messages of several senators. But here’s the kicker: Jack Smith told Congress under oath that it never happened. That’s right—never happened. Apparently, Smith and his buddies over at the DOJ have been peeking into the private messages of 44 members of Congress. And as we all know, when in doubt, just deny it and hope it sticks.

Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, who seems oblivious to the weight of privacy infringement, doesn’t seem very concerned. Not that his text messages were a part of the invasion party, of course. He brushed off the situation, saying there isn’t any “real evidence of wrongdoing.” Isn’t it awfully convenient how it’s easy to overlook the glaring issues when you’re not the one affected?

Republican Senator Rick Scott, with experience dealing with Democratic shenanigans, was not amused. From having his tax returns plucked by the Biden administration to being surveilled post-January 6, Scott has been repeatedly reminded how the Democrats roll. Now, with Jack Smith allegedly getting a sneak peek into his messages, Scott is demanding answers. The big question: Did Jack Smith lie before Congress, and is this investigation a thinly veiled effort to hound political adversaries? If this was a strategic move from the Democrat playbook, it appears it’s getting dangerously close to being flagged offside.

While all this drama unfolds, the Senate Majority Leader John Thune weighed in on the Save America Act, expressing a willingness to try just about anything to get it passed. His hopes, however, might get tangled in the thorny branches of the legislative filibuster. It seems Senate Republicans are less likely to toss that out with the bathwater, ensuring gridlocks continue to be a staple feature of American democracy. Meanwhile, Senator Scott’s solution is both practical and comical. His proposal? Senators ought to work more than two and a half days a week. What a novel idea.

There’s more news from the sunshine state, where Rick Scott endorsed Ralph Norman for South Carolina’s Senate run. Coupled with the latest outbreak involving suspect Taco Bell lettuce, Scott took a good jab at the quality of produce from across the border. His advice is wholesome and simple: stick to American, more specifically Florida-grown, produce. After all, if you can’t trust the water, why trust the veggies? Support local farmers and keep those bathroom breaks to a minimum.

All in all, this political landscape closely resembles a soap opera, lacking neither scandal nor intrigue. The Biden administration finds itself embroiled in yet another debacle, offering a front-row seat to spectators eager to see how this cloak-and-dagger episode will unfold.
