How the Deep State Blackmails: Johnson aide discouraged Hutchinson subpoena over concerns about lawmakers’ ‘sexual texts’

An aide to Mike Johnson advised the House speaker’s Republican colleagues against subpoenaing former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson as part of their investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack in an effort to prevent the release of sexually explicit texts that lawmakers sent her, according to written correspondence reviewed by The Washington Post and a person familiar with the effort.

.....In a meeting following the June conversation, Johnson (R-Louisiana) and senior aides also conveyed to Rep.

Hey, you know what? If any RINO is behaving like a pig while taking our tax dollars in salary, I’d like to see them exposed (so to speak).

If they’d done it before the election we could have had a chance to put God-fearing Republicans in those seats instead of corrupt RINOs who can be blackmailed.

We can’t do it NOW since the House has such a razor thin GOP majority. We’re stuck with RINO scumbags to keep scumbag Dims from taking over.

Not great.

I don’t care if she danced the hootchie kootchie buck nekkid in front of lawmakers. If you fall for that and make yourself vulnerable to blackmail you are stupid, immoral, or both, and have no business being in Congress.

We aren't exactly represented by "our best" in Congress, on both sides.

Good thing to point out how thin our majority is, and how a problem for Republicans is a badge of honor for the other side - just look at all the spies they don’t care about!!!
