Sen. Ron Johnson says there was 'total corruption' in transition between Obama and Trump administrations

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, said on Sunday that he saw “total corruption” in the transition between the presidency of Barack Obama and that of Donald Trump.

Speaking on “Sunday Morning Futures,” Johnson called the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 “corrupt” and slammed the media for reporting on leaked information.

“What we saw was a total corruption that before, during and after this transition. It's incredibly serious,” Johnson said. “What we know is corrupt investigations, the misuse of defensive briefings, all the media leaks, and, of course, the Obama administration holdovers.

He added: “What they did once they're inside the Trump administration to frustrate and sabotage his administration. So this is a serious, serious internal attack, an assault on our democracy, the most serious possibly in our history.”

Johnson’s comments come just days after his committee announced it was considering subpoenas for records and testimony from current and former FBI officials involved in the bureau’s original Russia investigation, as investigations into the origins of that probe ramp up again on Capitol Hill.

Johnson has scheduled the “business meeting” to consider authorizing subpoenas for June 4 - the same day that the Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., will also vote to authorize subpoenas as part of their investigation. “We have a list of 35 people currently,” Johnson said Sunday. “It's very similar to what Lindsey Graham is going to be working on as well. We're not going to. There'll be some overlap, but we'll kind of let Lindsey Graham focus on the FBI, the Department Justice or the corruption that FISA process.

Could break out in riots.

Maybe Johnson should not sleep in the same place two nights in a row.

The total corruption began on Usurpation Day.

When you give a Kenyan from Indonesia a pass on being ineligible, expect him to take full advantage.

This story has been pushed off the front page by the riots. Almost as if it were planned or something.

Obama’s a bad guy, been saying it for over a decade.

“What they did once they're inside the Trump administration to frustrate and sabotage his administration. So this is a serious, serious internal attack, an assault on our democracy, the most serious possibly in our history.”

What they did to try to undo and remove Trump's presidency, continues today, with the riots, which have NOTHING to do with the George Floyd case.

Obama and his corrupt henchmen, and the democrats in congress, tried to remove Trump through phony Russian/Trump collusion to steal the election. Failing to get their phony case to stick, they're now attempting to hurt Trump's chances in November, via the riots and attacks on law enforcement and on businesses. The George Floyd case was/is the excuse that democrats (thru George Soros and other money people) wanted, and they're taking full advantage of the democrat/media created crisis.

You really believe that? If anyone of those scumbags gets their indictment unsealed, it will push the riots off the front page. In fact, from a political and strategic standpoint, I’m glad these riots are happening now instead of in October. Another wasted ammo by the Deep State.

These mayors need to ask for support from the suburban communities and deputize every security guard within their jurisdiction.

The president needs to declare an insurrection is underway and act accordingly.
