House Speaker Mike Johnson joined Fox Sunday to discuss House Republicans’ plans to investigate Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and Special Counsel Jack Smith for targeting political opponents.
It sounds like just more words from Speaker Johnson. We want to see action!
Shannon Bream: Now, I want to ask you about the verdict. Clearly, you think it’s a travesty, as many people do. And I think having watched the trial, there are many grounds, fertile territory for the Trump team to use on appeal, but that’s going to take time. In the meantime, there are a number of Republicans out there saying, You guys need to turn around and do this same thing. John, you’re writing this. Republicans have to bring charges against Democratic officers, even presidents. Only retaliation in kind can produce the deterrence necessary to enforce a political version of mutual assured destruction. The other side, Peggy Newton, writing about how high the temperature is, says this, We have to ease up. We have to stop enjoying our hate so much. We can’t go on indefinitely like this. Are you worried that Republicans will be perceived as doing the very thing you’re accusing Democrats of, of using the legal system for political purposes? If you follow John Hughes’ advice.
Speaker Johnson: Here’s what I believe, Shannon. Listen, we are the rule of law party. Chaos is not a conservative value, and we have to fight back, and we will, with everything in our arsenal. But we do that within the confines of the rule of law. We believe in our institutions. We are Conservatives, and we are trying to conserve the greatest country in the history of the world, and its institutions are an important part of that. Our system of justice is an important part of that.

There you have it.
Republican investigation is an oxymoron.
That works but the evidence is so overwhelming too.
They don’t actually turn them, more like they spre....
That’s why the idea that “they should be voted out” is just a cope.
Once these politicians leave office, they will be employed by the donors and coporate interests they represented. Not their “voters”.
Mike Johnson is pretending to be outraged and he is pretending to be doing something.
They’re investigating just like President Retard’s crimes with Humper
” Every Republican is next on the block if they refuse to defend Trump. They don’t even need a crime anymore to bring you trial “
No they are not.
You still don’t get it. The Repubs are not a genuine opposition. They are a controlled opposition to give the Regime legitimacy.
Only genuine opposition that is close taking power gets the Trump treatment of fake legal charges.
So are you interested in action within the confines of the rule of law or just action?

“What a pity. Such nice cheeks, too.”
Yes because house/committee investigations always result in actual justice. /s
Just kidding. All it does is give them face time on C-Span, Hannity, Laura, Waters.
Of course these cucks can never play hardball. They should be investigating Lauren Merchan, and when Trump gets back in office, the Justice Dept should launch a full scale investigation on Lauren and her father. I’m sure there are many criminal offenses they can pursue, but start with offshore accounts, money laundering, misclassification of expenses, hribery, pay for play, campaign finance violations, tax evasions and a myriad of other things.
Just in time to have no effect on anything. Pure political theater.
Congress is not a prosecutorial body. That would be called a Star Chamber, and it’s not allowed in the USA, at least under the 1788 Constitution, as amended.
Legitimate “investigations” by Congress lead nowhere.
Sorry, Johnson doesn’t have it in him.
He does well to read a printed copy, like Ted Baxter with big ol’ glasses.
“ As I read your post, I was thinking, evidence is specific and we have to make sure it will stick”
Stick to what?
Congress (thank God) is not a grand jury.
“ he is pretending to be doing something”
There’s nothing for him to do.
If Merchan were a Federal judge the House GOP should be introducing articles of impeachement. But he isn’t.
This is a State issue.
“ We are Conservatives, and we are trying to conserve the greatest country in the history of the world, ”
By their fruits ye shall know them.
I respectfully disagree. It is not simply a state issue. It is a state interfering with a federal election. If Trump actually did something criminal, it would be different.
The appointment of Electors by 50 State Legislatures is NOT a “federal election”.
If you disagree, prove it by reference to the Constitution - see if you can find anything about “presidential elections”. I say you can’t.
