Johnson Vows to Protect Jack Smith Hours After Democrats Save His Speakership

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) wasted little time after 163 Democrats voted to save his speakership to announce he would not use Congress’s constitutional power of the purse to stop special counsel Jack Smith’s “lawfare” against Donald Trump.

The Speaker, in some of his earliest public comments after Democrats saved his gavel, refused to make any attempt to defund Smith’s office as it continues its prosecutions of Trump.

“That’s not something you wave a wand and just eliminate the special counsel as a provision,” Johnson told Politico. “There is a necessity for a function like that, because sometimes the Department of Justice — which is an executive branch agency — can’t necessarily, without a conflict of interest, investigate or prosecute the president who’s their boss, or the president’s family.”

I only read a couple Sackett books, but the Sackett that sticks in my mind, besides Tell of course, is Parmalee. He he had some flash to him. They were surrounding some bad guy with a bunch of Sacketts in that book, and Parmalee had traveled some distance to be there, as I remember it, out of familial respect for Tell.

A line I think of often, for some unknown reason that’s probably based in the chemistry of the human psyche, is something like: “ “Hello, Riley”, I said, as I collapsed to the ground.” I’m pretty sure Tell said that, but I don’t know where or when.

He didn’t defend or promote him. He just didn’t want another big speaker battle before the election. I despise Mike Johnson and he will most likely lose his position if the Grand Old Poopy heads win the House.

Ditto. (Hat tip to El Rushbo).

It has been a few decades since I read any L’Amour books, so if I ever knew that particular quote, I have forgotten it. But I like the whole Sackett Clan.. Even the Clinch Mountain branch.

Trump didn’t pick Johnson.

You neverTrumpers can’t get your facts straight.

Talking out of both sides of his mouth.

[Chgogal]

Unfortunately for you, Trump is smarter than you. Other wise you’d be POTUS.

[Chgogal]

No, RINOs like you refused to support Jim Jordon for Speaker.

[Chgogal]

Dummy, RINO Comgressmen refused to support Jim Jordon.

[Chgogal]

“ Gauls me that no one in this party fights for Trump
Gauls me that no one in any party fights for due process.”

BTTT

[Reno89519]

RINO?! You are clueless idiot. Never seen you post before, so whatever, troll away with insults.

[RoosterRedux]

Is there a forum for Biden supporters like you? You might want to head on over there.

[anton]

I think there is. Its DU and they usually send some clueless aholes over here to make fools of themselves, right boohoo?

[RoosterRedux]

Yep. Very true.

Back in the good old days, JR would have banned this guy.

[usconservative]

Gauls me that no one in this party fights for Trump

Irritating AF that the very SOTH that Trump backs time and again (Milquetoast McCarthy, Johnson) turn their backs on him AND THE CONSTITUTION to keep their power. SMDH ...

[Hot Tabasco]

It makes sense to let the trial continue because in the end, Trump will be exonerated.There was an article here a couple days ago that revealed that the DOJ doctored the crime scene photo of the raid.

I'm sure it hasn't been lost on the presiding judge.
